Darius mains,your opinions here about the Darius nerf. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/YlMymb3d-meddler-can-we-get-some-context-on-darius-nerfs?comment=0000

Hi, Do you think taking yomuus is still viable after nerfs it got in patch 6.22? Great guide

It still is, I think there are better choices tho. Maw has a really nice synergy with Darius's kit. Death's Dance got that as well. Ravenous/Titanic Hydra for bulkier team fights too.

I'm still alive!

Hey, I love playing darius and I love this build, but I don't get allot of time to play league and usually I don't get too strong with this build; usually I get outrun or champions are just too mobile for me to successfully pop off with passive. I talked about it with some friends, and since I cannot test this myself, do you think you could try a build where you use a rapidfire cannon and a deadmans plate? It gives you movement speed, attack speed, good attack range combined with w, and a slow. Do you think it would be viable to try this?

Woo. Do it! Sounds really innovative bruh! Tell me the results!
But wait. You get outran with Youmuu's? Is it like Leblanc or something?

I've been playing a fair bit of Darius since reading your build. Right now, I'm trying him as a support champ. Tons of fun. Thanks for the tips!

I just got thrashed by Thresh, both as Morgana and Darius. Any tips on how to deal with him in a support role? Thanks!

Neh I don't know about either support Darius or how he does against other supports.

and can you give any guide how to deal with RIVEN?

This and your previous question have already been answered in my guide. Runes section and matchups section.

If you are running black cleaver, Yommus, spirit visage, you already got 40% CD. Do you still using CD rune or you have alternative runes?

Can you give me advice on what to do as darius when the enemy refuses to 1v1 me and hides under tower until the jungler camps me? What usually happens is I end up tower diving early, or the jungler camps me and what should have been an easy lane ends up being really hard. I just played Volibear vs Darius and I would have killed him early, except he flipped me under tower and got first blood. Then he just kept killing me and kiting my qs until he went 7/0. Fortunately my team had my back and we ended up winning. How do I kill them at lvl 1 when they refuse to fight me?

Let them be and push the lane as hard as you can, E them when they go in for last hits under tower, its almost guaranteed you'll catch them that way, especially with a cannon minion. Force trades, combo them while staying just right out of tower range and set up for an easy dive. This way you can chip away that tower health too.
Its just on paper though. Your mana is gonna get burned and you might get killed if the jungler comes and you're not in a good shape to take a 1v2.

From one Darius main to another... Well done. All of what you have said is pretty much exact to what I do. A lot of people ask me "how to Darius" and this guide sums it up quite well. I will most definitely be recommending this to people. Nice job. (If you ever wanna play a match sometime my user is: "BleedStacks")

All love ♥
You in VN server bro? If you are, we can do that 101%, but if you're not then... meh, I still don't have any interactions with people.

eplison do you have any tips against riven

Hullo! This guide is excellent, but your understanding of the Fervor of Battle keystone is off. Fervor grants 2 stacks whenever you auto, but it also gives 2 stacks when you hit an offensive ability. This means reaching max stacks is extremely easy with AA-w-q-AA. In matchups where armor and health stacking is natural (Malphite, Shen, Nautilus) or 1v1s tend to drag out longer than Stormraiders can last (Trundle, Vladimir, Swain), Fervor simply offers more damage. I understand your preference for the swag and speed of Stormraiders -- I usually take it myself -- but for the slug-it-out matchups, Fervor has proven to be more useful.

1 stack on ability only, it's nerfed. It will indeed make Darius more powerful, but its relevance just falls off too quickly into the game. The scaling is just too minor compared to what Darius already had. At least that's my opinion and I don't think I'm gonna pick Fervor up on Darius anytime soon in my life, so I'm not gonna recommend it to anyone. It's your game so your call on what keystone you use though.
Also Grasp.

As a first time darius player, I found this guide to be helpful.
I want to really excel at Darius so I've been practicing his combos. But I still fail to use them correctly for a major amount of time.

One Combo being the : E -> AA -> W -> Q directly to cancel W animation -> AA
After pulling someone, the auto attack always seems like its coming out too slow, and once I press W people already flashed away and the slow was not applied.
If I pull someone and directly W, I always miss a beat and let the W twirling animation finish before I use Q, and by then they are mostly out of the sweet spot either because they are too far gone or too far inside.

The times when I successfully did this combo are few, and when it succeeds I can see why Darius is so powerful. Can you give me any tips of improving the chances of the combo succeeding?
