They are nerfing the wrong things, so litterally if this goes live, you only pick Darius for the ult? Okay, I would rather pick other champions if this happens. Darius is not a healthy champion but he is in an okay spot. He abuses low elo but he is very weak against melees since the update, I always beat him 1v1 and team fights with melee champions since the update. Now he would probably be weak against assassins (which is not good).

His basic abilities are awful, nerfing it will make him worse. What they should have done was...

1) Lower the AD scaling on his passive because it's too high and it the bleed should not give armor reduction from black cleaver.

2) Raise his base AS to compensate for the passive nerf.

3) Change the Q's handle damage to 60%-70% damage, but increase the mana cost and remove the heal, instead it should grant 2-3 bleed stacks (and maybe increase the base damage from the outer handle instead

4) The slows on W and E removed and placed onto the Q instead to make it similar to a cassiopia ultimate, instead enemies are slowed in handle range, meanwhile they take more damage from in outer range.

5) Give apprehend base damage and an AD ratio to increase the damage (that can also apply stack to his bleed)

5) Remove the true damage on ultimate and replace it with physical damage. It would not matter that much if Darius have armor penetration in his E.
