I am still trust in your guide even this preseason change new runes. Then I want to say "there isn't any guy who play Darius MANLY like You! If you went to this nightmare someday, I would learn your new guide and watch your videos.

Man, thank you for this guide. My favorite character before I started playing lol has been Darious and this guide is on its way teaching me to be a dunk man. So right about being aggressive and just KILLING THEM.
I'm a ****ty bronzer but I'm workin at it!
Thanks.

Beautiful build, it just requires a little practice to know which item to build in specific situations but apart from that if you're being a team player and helping out others with your teleport and so on, it will not let you down.

Here's a game from Dia 5

Literally one of the best Darius builds I've seen. Very good description on all the abilities and laning tips. I destroyed top lane with ease and the rest of their team. Once again, I really appreciate it. :)

calm down now people, yes nerfing Darius is as stupid as playing azir jungle (or..whatever) right now, since he isn't really going crazy bonkers on anyone, but the change doesn't change that much things.

Alright i saw the actual scaling now, so what i said was wrong. BUT still, losing 10 AD isn't going to kill you calm down now. I mean really man, 30 bonus AD. 3 0 , you litteraly have more bonus AD than a riven ult (the AD steroid) come on now. If this nerf makes you want to stop playing darius you probably don't main him... Futhermore starting from lvl 7 you gain 10 bonus AD per level up, and at lvl 13 20 freacking bonus AD per level. In the end the steroid is the same, you only loose 10 AD early game. Ten.

As for the q well yeah, it means that if you hit them with the handle you heal them now. I mean really, 35% of the damage literally means at lvl1 if you miss your Q, you'll deal as much damage as a canon minion.

.....But why would you even miss it? At the base itself missing Q was punishing, now it's just more punishing and as long as you give them just the tip (which you should most of the time do) well that nerf doesn't exist.

Don't get me wrong, i repeat it again, nerfing darius is stupid atm. But the nerf in itself is just..well, stupid too. before and now, dunking someone at level 6 didn't change. stop panicking. Hearing you guys it feels like we lost 50 true dmg on the ult base scalling lol.

Darius is getting nerfed sensei,time to move on. Hope Riot is proud for doing this and not nerfing champions like Riven and such I hope they lose some players cause of this

Today a 4 man premade camped me down and insulted me on the early game because "i was playing Darius" . This of course ended up in justice raining from the sky with one triple kill and one quadra kill (a dunk for each premade member ehehehe..)

But this led me to two questions. One being i thought to myself i don't even care if i'm behind i can pretty much annihilate everything later with Darius anyway. Was i right or where they just boosted animals since i got back after being put in 1/4?

And secondly, i like black cleaver and i love trinity force, but i didn't understand a **** about taking both (if you can) , is it good? bad? or mere stupidity?

That's all for me.

I can answer your second question for him if you care to read:

First i'll start with it's Similarities:
The first key thing you obtain from either Item is the Burst of Movement Speed(As you know, Phage has a unique passive that doesn't double on itself twice). This makes it so that half of the Black Cleaver would be useless along with 1/3rd of Trinity Force. They also give Cooldown Reduction which is Great on Darius.

Now for their Key Differences & why or when to pick one and not the other/or grab both:

Unlike Trinity Force, Black Cleaver reduces their Armor for every hit you land on the target you are focusing down. This will allow a higher percentage of the damage mitigated by their Defenses to penetrate dealing your full Damage on Your Auto Attack or Abilities. Black Cleaver is the item that pushes your damage to almost being True Damage.

Trinity Force on the other hand Increases the damage by giving you more Utility. It gives you the movement speed like Black Cleaver, Cooldown Reduction(Like the Cleaver), grants a Bonus % Movement Speed, Grants higher Attack Speed, & Give you the Sheen Proc.

Essentially they both do the same thing by increasing Darius's Damage & the way Trinity Force's Stats sound make it seem like a better choice, right? Well, let me ask you this: What do you think happens when you Lower their Armor with Black Cleaver?

The answer is that you & your important Carry's( Caitlyn, Talon, etc) will be dealing their fullest damage to the Target.

Trinity Force is more of a Personal Item with a very high Cost which is why it's only bought when you're Drastically Ahead(Not to mention if you're against a Super Tank you won't be doing damage to them without 5 stacks).

These two items together are absolutely Cheese on Darius but if you're behind in any way, you will find yourself greatly agitated trying to gather up enough gold to purchase both Items & still be able to build the essential Defensive items to follow the Mid-Late Game.

Conclusively, Although Trinity Force provides the greatest Utility & Objectively Fun Stats, Black Cleaver outshines on this choice with it's Conveniently low cost & Tank Buster Stats. Buying these two in the same Build are NOT recommended unless you are strictly Ahead Period.

I hope this shined some light on your question!

Fun Side Note: We call the Trinity Force on Darius "The Squishy Slayer".

Thank you for the answer. I figured out by now what's best to take and when is the best time to take it, but now you really made me understand how it really works ^^

Still, if i'm extremely ahead i can go for both?
