The PBE nerf is bull$#!+. Riot was always saying the problem with Darius is the fact he has little counterplay. You counterpick him or he kills you. The recent nerf DOES NOT address this at all. I feel it was just done to get people to stop spamming QQ about his ultimate. His ultimate is not what was OP about him imo. If they would do something like removing one of any of the bonus stuff he gets it would open up more counterplay (Over 3X quints for bleeding target, armor pen, etc). One example would be getting rid of his Attackspeed slow. Now Tryndamere for example would have a chance to outplay him in lane, rather than hopelessly losing every attempted trade. Heck, they could even raise his damage a bit if they would actually allow more of that.
