Why Darius has such high base stats? He has higher base stats than many fighters, and even than many actual tanks. To compare, Mordekaiser has only 83 armor at level 18, Shen has 69, Sion has 74, Garen has 78... and Darius has 97. He also has the second highest armor at level 1, losing only to Rammus.

Sion has only 1783 base health at level 18, Shen has only 1781, Mordekaiser has only 1766, Garen actually has a good value there, sitting at 2048, but Darius has... 2282 base health. He only really loses to Tryndamere and Alistar in that regard. He is far from having one of the highest base healths at level 1, however. That said, his health growth per level is impressive: 100 per level, only losing to Alistar.

Darius also has one of the highest base ADs in the game, losing only to Illaoi and Mordekaiser himself (ironically).

In fact, the only two garbage base stats on Darius are his attack speed (he is a caster, however, so this is not much of a problem, especially since he has an attack reset to help him stack his passive) and his mana regeneration (however he has very small mana costs, making this not much of a problem).

I don't mind Darius having high base stats. The problem is that, comparing to other tanks and juggernauts, it seems incredibly unfair that Darius has such high base stats, while they are punished with those garbase base stats, making them not as tanky as they should be.
