Darius is not OP. Darius does not need a nerf. He needs a rework, as antifun does not necessarily mean good or bad. Teemo shrooms will ALWAYS be antifun when playing against him, even if they suck. Darius needs some kind of change, but not necessarily a nerf. He is considered OP by lower ELO because of the way his kit works. He punishes mistakes. Everything he has is essentially saying "don't come near me." His pull is short ranged. He has an autoattack enhancer. He has a short ranged AoE. He has a short ranged ultimate. Now imagine NOT being near him. He does... nothing? But, if you get near him, you basically just die. The reason why is that he punishes your mistakes. The pros don't think he's op, because they don't make so many mistakes, and they know that if they do, they won't die to Darius.
