So Ive gone back to playing Top which is my secondary role, first being Jungle and ever since Dunkmaster was released I spammed Darius and surprisingly doing well with him. Only champion I cannot win against is Panth. I though pre 6 Darius wins in the longer trades due to bleed stacks but Panth somehow dishes out damage from nowhere. So how do I lane against Panth as Darius?

Also my winrate is over 60%. Is that good?

I may have the Darius Syndrome of taking kills, but thats no excuse because his ult still goes on CD if I cannot chain it in time so my team should bag some kills of their own.

Can Darius carry? Last game I tried to put in 110% to win but feel as though my teammates let me down.

If a red is reading, I'll admit I can lose my patience with some bad plays. Mostly, people chasing, focusing tanks, lack of wards, itemization which Ive seen some bad ones.

Last but not least. Feel as though I should have a name change to suit Darius. What should it be?

your winrate isnt bad but in regaurds to pantheon, he is a pain to lane against. So what i would recommend is too early push your lane so you get lvl 2 first, it takes the entire first wave and 1 melee minion to hit level 2.

Once you get level 2 first you have a large advantage, try to zone him from his creeps because he cannot trade with you and if he does he will lose the trade.

So once you hit around level 6 im guessing that pantheon is spamming spears at you in lane which is taking you down slowly but surely. The best thing to do is when you hit 6 and pantheon is 6 is to all in him. Your level 6 is much stronger than his because you get your ult which is usable in lane and his isnt going to use it vs you in lane. So you have 4 abilities to his 3.

Besides just at 6 you have to find the right opportunities to all in him, first off dont let yourself get poked down. Soon as you see him use one of his abilities on a minion it is your chance to go in on him. Thats when you use your full combo on him, he will either blow a summoner or be to low to stay in lane, then you can free farm and shove waves into the tower

The comment below is correct, along with that.... it depends on if you are going ad Darius or tanky. I recommend going tanky and don't take too many spears before level 3. Once level 3, you are in a position to deal 50% or more damage in one combo depending if you pull panth on your side of the wave to get that minion damage. Just some early game advice

My advice? play mundo

why?

sit back and throw cleavers to farm till level 6, first back get some armor

once you are back in lane, theres literally nothing a pantheon can do.

once you hit 55% hp, fall back, ult, then go back to farming.

mundos tankiness can also hard carry games provided you gear him properly.

Mercs / Sunfire / SpiritV / Warmogs then the last 2 items leave you with heavy tanky items, or more damage oriented items.

You will find rylais + liandrys to make your W hilarious. Spell blade ( life steal and spellvamp ) will make you even harder to kill in team fights Thornmail for hyper pesky ADCs GA because who doesn't hate a mundo with a GA? or an item to support your team more

If you see a pantheon chosen, always go mundo
