User blog comment:Krauserlols/Darius is OP but UP at the same time here why!/@comment-5266525-20130114234741

Not going to comment on his whole gameplay shtick, but your complaints about his aesthetics are quite amusing. What part of a gigantic man with spiked shoulder pauldrons, a blood-red cape and an axe that he wields as easily as chopsticks is not intimidating? Heck, a clap of thunder sounds when he kills somebody with his ult. I think that's awesome.

I think his lore is okay. He's probably the first true, you could say, heroic Noxian. While Katarina is driven by a passion to do whatever is necessary see Noxus succeed and is probably oblivious to its own faults, Darius sure as hell ain't afraid to turn his axe at its own hierarchy himself to see it succeed. I think that is quite noble.
