I have been playing Darius since his release, and let me tell you he is one of the most fun champions that is good but not really banned in ranked that can get you out of elo hell. He also can jungle and i often do all you have to do is change up your ignite for smite and mabey buy a dorans blade or 2 or even a wriggles.

I take flash ignite all the time unless your teams needs the exhaust then take that but other than that teleport can be run but ignite and his passive work together very well

I feel the rune set up in this guide is the best you can always switch to make it fit your own play style so dont feel like you have to folo my runes to the t.

Pros: great farmer
- can jungle
- beats most tops
-to tanky to focus but does do much dmg to to focus(gets them off your ad/ap carries a lot)

Cons: no escape
- hard to gank with
- L2 not ks with your ult all the time
- Can be shut down easy

I start boots 3 pots and and cloth 5 pots jungle. Always heart of gold first. Then depends if your top and who u against what you build where. If ap get your hexdrinker or merc treads b4 the phage if your doing well against you opp. rush frozen mallet after your heart of gold and mabey before your merc treads up to u
