*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
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
and
are both quite cheap and give excellent mobility, as well as desirable stats, not to mention a
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
over
would fix that, though admittedly make him less of a tank.
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!!
