But lategame he is very unmobile and as long as he doesn't get close to the enemy ADC, he can't do much in teamfights and he will get outscaled by other toplaners. He is a good champ, but it would be more fun + more healthy for the game if they tuned down his early power and made up for it with better lategame. I still want him to be like a little more damage-focused noxian version of Garen though :P Yeah, because whiat it boils down to is that champions that aren't mobile (or don't have colossal damage range) aren't worth playing.

The problem goes WAY deeper than Darius. It's embedded deep in LoL's balance and is a direct result of unrestrained mobility creep in champion design.
