Darius 975 6300 pop - 13.2% win rate - 50% ban rate -2.56%

Darius is now as of 12/2/2013 perfectly balanced

Proof right there that he is balanced.

why is a 50% win rate balanced?

win rate =/= balanced, otherwise taric is most OP champion ever

but yeah if you consider all elo ranges at once he is balanced, at my league, hes underpowered as hell because hes so easily defeated, at summoner level 3 the man is unstoppable

Underpowered my ass, barely anyone out ranges his apprehend, take two players of equal skill, Darius gonna win most trades

take a nidalee and darius from sliver and up, darius gets reported for intentionally feeding

in fact, darius, like katarina, yi, and tryndamere almost requires you to go against unskilled or unexperienced players, because all they can do is capatlize off of mistakes

darius punishes you for being dumb and trying to 1v1 him at lv 3, or for being too close in a teamfight, kat punishes unorganized teams who dont have a stun ready for her ult, and trynd gets the un experienced, and yi is just there for the people who try to nuke him down when he has 200 regen per sec with 200 armor..in other words, idiots

take players of equal skill vs any of these guys, they lose

nobody ever wants to explain this one.

he is played mostly by mentally retarded kids, thats the problem , that believe they can tank 4 vs 1 and go ulting one by one and winning.

you do realize the lolking database is significantly smaller than official riot's data. I wouldnt say the statistics provided by them is a good indication.

Having said that, i dont believe darius is op either

besides no one can read..
