*NEW* Darius as a Support? (Free stats EVERYWHERE)

Hey there, Master Fledgling he--

Why yes I did post a Darius support concept not too long ago. This is the NEW Darius, however. Stay with me, class.

So a lot has changed -- Skarner became broken, Morde is an ADC, Garen is stronger than ever and Darius is -- actually struggling. Weird.

Putting that aside, the changes that make me think that he could be a strong, aggressive support are --

A short range, multi target pull (OVER MINIONS) 40-200 free AD upon stacking an enemy fully item 3053 is fantastic on Darius, who was blessed with an obnoxiously high base AD with 5.16 (Seriously they are all getting nerfed. Calling it now.) 5-25% free Armor Penetration A 90%, 1 second slow on Crippling Strike Once he gets into a fight, he can now instantly dunk a second, third, forth target. Pretty snazzy. Percentage self healing that is better on multiple targets Items like item 2053 and item 3044 are both quite cheap and give excellent mobility, as well as desirable stats, not to mention a item 3071 on Darius means instead, max shred, as each tick of his passive procs the shred.

So he has a lot going for him. The biggest issue is his lack of movement, but building item 3069 over item 3401 would fix that, though admittedly make him less of a tank. item 3742 would fix that issue as well, but come later in the game.

I'll start testing with my new Woad Skin (Cause it's darn good looking) and let you know how it goes!!

Was gonna say that's a dumb idea, but now I'm actually intrigued. Lemme know how it goes!

The thing about a darius supp is that his ult kind of ruins it for him.

only glaring problem I can see is that his lane harass is short ranged and pushes the wave most of the time, other than that he could definitely work well going full utility tank support and still dealing damage.
