Darius build & runes (26.16)

By Glenn Silver
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Strong Early Game: Darius's passive allows him to be extremely strong in extended fights and his abilities are very control heavy. You can often dictate how the lane progresses, control the waves and risk all ins.
- High Snowball Ceiling: His passive and R resets give him the opportunity to create more leads of already existing leads. You can control the map, bring pressure and go for resets concluding to a snowball.
- Variable Itemizing: Darius is a champion that is surprisingly variable in Itemizations and Runes. Since he has clear strenghts and weaknesses, he can go for a lot of items and runes
- High Presence: This one is underrated. Wether it's in teamfights, in the side lane or laning phase, the enemy has always to respect Darius's passive bonus AD and reset potential. You can often block ways or entrances at objective fights or many champions simply can't risk it too much to go for short trades in side lane/laning phase if they don't have a reliable disengage.

Cons:
- Low Mobility: Darius has pretty much no inbuilt mobility or ms in his kit. Thus he is vunlnerable to mobile champs and champs who can kite well.
- Volatility: As strong as he can snowball the game, he can also fall out of game if behind. If you fall behind signifficantly, you don't really have any presence. You can often get bursted or kited beforer reaching 5 hemorrhage stacks or a reset while you lack durability.
