Yasuo or Darius?
I know how to play both fairly well (when they were F2P) but I need to know which one to buy. I could buy both if I had 40 more RP..so which one should I buy?

Yasuo has a very high skill cap while Darius is sort of just fun and stompy to play. I like them both though
Ahhh, two of CertainlyT's finest creations.
Darius is about to get reworked, so I would wait on him until we see how it turns out. But right now, he's terrible against anyone with half a brain. They just bait him into pushing the wave then gank him because he has no way to escape or survive one. He's one of my favorite champions but I just can't play him competitively because his gank weakness is just too exploitable and nearly impossible to work around even with wards, also during teamfights he gets peeled all day and if you're lucky you might KS a triple with his ult, but that's it.
Yasuo is a little on the weak side, but he is by no means unviable. He isn't god tier but he has the capability to do very well in game. He's fun as hell to play but there are questionable things in his kit that prevent him from being allowed to be strong, but he is also very feast-or-famine (despite originally being designed to be the first melee carry that wasn't). He is also like Darius in that he is very vulnerable to ganks, but he has a better chance of escaping them.
Also, you shouldn't buy champs with RP. IP may take some grinding but it's worth it.
If you like to que with friends, (especially if your friends main wukong, sion, etc), Yasuo is a super fun champion. Idk about solo q yasuo since I don't own yasuo myself, but whenever I'm wukong and my friend play Yasuo we just have a blast turning the tides in team fights.
Darius in the other hand, you should definitely wait for his rework before buying.
Before the rework, Darius is a guy who's a lot of fun and can stomp his lane (or get stomped), but has a hard time carrying the game outside laning phase. Yasuo is a bit riskier, but can hard carry late game with enough practice. If you want to look up some tips, i recommend Voyboy's stream (and associated videos); he's probably one of the best Yasuo players in NA.
