Im tired of hearing people saying Darius is op. In high ELO games he doesnt do a lot and gets countered. If you guys are complaining hes op, youre just not good at the game and dont know how to counter champs. There are a lot of champions that have abilities to poke a darius.

- Olafs axe
-Cassiopeoa
-Teemo ( he is one of the best)
-Vlads Q
- Basically any ranged champ that has good mobility.

Darius has no gap closer, he can grab you, but if you stay out of his range, your ok.

For AP squishy champs, JUST BUY ZHONYAS. Once you see the dunk, just pop it.

Also i rarely use Darius, so im not a Darius fanboy trying to protect his case.

Maybe im crazy but what do you guys think?

This is why Darius is NOT OP.
He is a truck with no escape and no utility. Yes he's a meat grinder but he has his weakness that he is screwed over by CC and a well coordinated team.

IT just his ability to go from pure **** to pure god mode team helper or kill stealer. Old trynamere was the same til they rebuff re nerfed him into a balanced champ that can be countered.

If frozen mallet wasnt in this game darius would be balanced

Nobody is saying Darius as a champion is OP. People are complaining his Ult is OP. And it just plain is. Decent range, true damage, low cooldown, forgivable mana cost, refreshes, and doesn't consume his DoT.

His passive DoT is annoying since it can be built via skills and/or AA and scales with AD that does magic damage. If it was one or the other, not both, it would be more fair. Why does it need to scale? Why does it need to do magic damage? Why does he get to build stacks with AA and abilities?

It's not about poking Darius. It's about plain out-living or out-feeding him. You could poke him all day, but he has one of the highest Hp5s, has high HP, and high armor/mr. If he rolls cloth and 5 pots you're gonna be there a while.

Every champion (except maybe Olaf) is screwed over by CC and a well coordinated team. That's not a viable argument. And neither is the "learn to counter" argument. Why don't Darius players just "learn to counter" counters? Isn't that what ganking is for? Not being able to 1v1 doesn't mean you lost your lane, but not being able to outfarm/kill certainly does.

Darius just needs toned down a bit more, but I don't see him being toned down till they drop his IP cost. IP/RP cost seem to be the biggest excuse for a champion being able to remain "too good".

its just the fact that frozen mallet says ha ha ur in my range when clearly he missed you in animation makes him Op synergy from it oh and dont forget teh lousy 700 hp that give him tank like hp Oh and dont forget the morello post about have magic/physical/ true damg on one champ was bad/ worst thing they had created.

IMP you are my god i didnt see that point i aggre with you and double post cuz he posted before my refresh the page

..........playing as a tank i can have thorn mail flaming armor, warmogs... w/e dosnt matter, and i roll over ez like nothing and make him into a feeder and trample olaf cait ad teemo garen,

but Darius, I'll be 10-4-14 and he will be 4-6-5. and he will be able to stack me with bleed and then rape the hell out of me and spam ult all around because its pretty easy to judge when u can use it and get a kill while sustaining since he is so beefy.

and thats a bad Darius which is surprising since he is so easy. But ya anytime i play with a friend i know who sucks i ask them to play darius if they have him because even with no skills i know they will be able to do decent if they have him
