User blog comment:Themarine257/Darius Rework, Darius needs a little buff/@comment-25029054-20140613180735

You people obviously dont understand what i am trying to get at here do you? Katarina, when she gets a kill with her ult it's cd goes down (by how much i dont know). Akali can spam her ult 3 times and it only have a 26 sec cd. What i am trying to say is that, take some damage away from Darius, while giving him some cc. So you are buffing him, but you arent at the same time. I have played Darius for 2 years now, and know everything there is to know about him. Every ranged champ that does not use mana (Zed, Kennen, AKali, Kata, Vlad, etc.) have a insane ammount of poke. Same thing with a few mele champs that dont use mana. Darius has a good poke in his Q, but how many times can he really use it compared to Riven who is using her 3 Q's every 10 second or Lee Sin?

What i suggested was making his pull a little longer and giving him a stun, and takin away his ult reset and makin it's cd go down by 40 or 50 percent. Darius when top against champs who have stuns sufferes immensely. Jax, Panth, Renekton, Kennen. If he is a good and smart Darius (my mechanics suck at this game cause i dont play it 24/7) he will be able to kill the Panth no prob, and slap a hexdrinker against the Kennen, but when it comes to Renekton and Jax there is nothing a Darius can do. if Darius gets close to killing the Rene, rene will just e away. Jax will just jump to his minion or ward jump. This will give the Jax and Rene to come back and finish of the Darius.

I have seen so many Darius' and play against or with them. There have been some really good ones and some really bad ones. My build on Darius depends on who i am up against.

AD non counter final build: Hydra, Cleaver, Tri Force, Omen, Visage, GA or boots

AP non counter final build: Maw, Hydra, Cleaver, Omen, Visage, GA or boots

Counter: Omen, Visage, Warmogs, SF Cape, Banshees Veil, and boots

Im not saying to keep him the same while making him manaless and give him a stun. Im saying trade his damage output for some CC.

I get all your points and understand your concerns. But when you have champs like Trundle, or WW, or Jax, or Udyr on the opposing team and you're Darius you know that you're screwed. You know that no matter how much damage output you have or how tanky you are, you will never be able to outtrade any of those champs and come out on top, and if you do happen to kill them, you maybe wont get so lucky next time arround. So, dont make him manaless, dont make his pull longer, but atleast give him a stun so he at least stand a chance against those champs.

Hopefully, at least one of you will understand where i am coming from.
