Hello. I'm a diamond EUW player, playing under the name DidYouJustTouch. I've played since season 2, tho i took break from s5. I made a fresh account season 8 and got to diamond again.

I'm a top lane main, and i like to guide other people, lower ranks, how to gain lp and reach higher ranks.

I've put in 2 rune pages. One vs poke champs and one not. Not much more to say here, the runes speaks for themselfs.

I've put my favourite build in this guide on Darius, and all items choices needed. It's up to you what to buy, tho always go for the core items.

Farming on Darius i very easy. If you're in the lead, try to freeze lane by only last hitting. If you're behind, you can manage to kill a whole wave by just hitting you Q, and you can also fast-push with your Q. You can also AA and W right after to get a use of your W's passive - mana refund and 50% CD.

Darius is very strong in teamfights. He can even 1v5 in some cases. Try to grab to adc and dmg dealer off-hand.

As Darius you should try to front for your team. Grab the strongest enemy you can and kill them (should be able to escape). After that you'll gain your passive and be able to 2 hit everyone on the opponent team. Fight is won.

Combos for laning phase.
Lvl 1 - Darius is one of the strongest lvl1 bruisers because of hit passive. Make the enemy push too far and AA + w, pop ghost and there ya go, first blood!

When you reach lvl 6+ you should win every fight if played right, unless you're behind of course. Try to hit as many basics as possible before the enemy runs away. When running away, use E, AA and then W. Reach five stacks and that's a kill.

If you're behind early game, then just stick to farming or cleaning up. Keep getting exp and gold because Darius is hella broken mid to late game.

Follow every tip given, don't greed, make shotcalls and you'll win. AND REMEMBER TO KILL MINIONS! IF NOT THE GAME IS LOST
