I Guess I'll Be Seeing A Lot Of Darius Penta's...

[quote=Xenasis]No. All true damage (with the exception of the percentage part of Vayne's [[Silver Bolts]] (which would take 36 shots to kill you alone, and isn't much damage, despite the fact people seem to think it's the main source of Vayne's damage for some messed up reason)) is in pure numbers rather than percentages. If this were a game where everybody just dealt true damage all the time, if you had 1000 health and you bought a [[Giant's Belt]], you just purchased the equivalent of 43% resistance.[/quote]

[quote=Aenemius]Disagree on OP - everyone seems to think his ult kill/refresh is over powered. Explain Yi's [[Highlander]]? Darius is a counter for Olaf and Nautilus as top lane champs. Might be "OK" as a jungler due to AoE and bleeds - but otherwise he looks pretty average for a melee solo.[/quote]

Not sure about Olaf counter though, unless you're referring to the execute to nullify his passive + ult, I don't see why he could out-damage Olaf's E harass. His jungling looks average unless there are any stats like absurd armour or something I've not seen. Decent ganking but no real gap closer/ranged CC. AoE for clearing but I see no reason why he'd be better than, say, Shyvana. I'd love to be proven wrong though. Laning looks average, no ranged harass and a semi-decent duellist. Easily counterpicked by the likes of Riven and co, I'd wager. It seems nowadays people wet themselves at the mention of true damage. As I say, everyone that thinks he's OP should wait a weak and re-assess the situation. Most like you'll agree, he's fine.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]He's actually not -that- great or even OP. His lane phase is super strong but he's also really really vulnerable to ganks even with a ward. His teamfights are ok but he falls off pretty hard when the entire enemy team builds tanky (as may well happen 90% of the time). I'm pretty sure he's fine against Riven and co and can even beat them easily. He is extremely vulnerable to ganks though.[/quote]

[quote=Jpikachu1999]It's not the ult kill/refresh at all. It's the fact that he can have over 500 damage from his passive at 5 stacks, has a ton of Armor Pen, which couples as a pull (pretty much secures a kill, people don't really have an easy time walking away from it) a 50% MS and AS slow, which also couples as a 200% auto attack.[/quote]

[quote=LaronX]He is a squishe melee bruiser with no gap closer no escape and no from of hard CC. At least give him that he does decent dmg.Geez ppl alway complain X does so much dmg well then don't take the dmg or build tanky. IF you run you glass canon build he is pretty much made to counter that.[/quote]

[quote=Jpikachu1999][[Mercury's Treads]]/[[Ninja Tabi]] [[The Bloodthirster]] [[Maw of Malmortius]] [[Frozen Mallet]] [[Last Whisper]] [[Guardian Angel]] How is that squishy? It's got like 150 - 170 of both resistances, around 2800 health, and still a ton of damage. I think around 230 bonus AD. Passive: 36 + 92 over 5 seconds stacks 5 times. 640 damage at max stacks. Q: 210 + 161, for extra against champs: 315 + 241.5 W: (230 + 113) * 2 = 686 E: N/A, which is very similar to [[Dredge Line]] as they can't do anything while they are being pulled through the air. R: Minimum damage: 340 + 172.5 [b]true[/b] damage, Maximum damage: 680 + 345 [b]true[/b] damage.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]People keep saying he has no hard CC. I'm trying to figure out what his E is supposed to be then... The moment I heard about Varus, I decided I would master the champion after that, having no idea what it would be. (My brother and I have random agreements to master the next 2 champions, the last being Lux and LeBlanc.) I can say I am happy with Darius. (Looks like he gets the next one.) :D[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Scrubs look at the numbers and only the numbers, more experienced players will look at the entire kit and realize he isnt anything to worry about. Stong? Potentially. Op? Not at all. Or thats my opinion. As for his e not being "hard" cc. It isnt. Blitzcrank and nautilus have additonal skills to combo with their grabs which make them hard cc. Darius doesnt...once again that is just my opinion.[/quote]
