Intro A short but sweet introduction about the oh so hated
Pros/Cons Already like this section, it looks great. You seemed to do some coding on your own, not using any of the basic formats, it looks great nonetheless. Lists his best qualities and his worst.
Runes Typical runes of any AD top laner. Perhaps list greater mark of desolation as an alternative as well.
Masteries Really like the point in
In the defensive part of the masteries you took a point in
Items Another well-thought out section with good coding. The layout looks nice and the items themselves are typical of a
Skills Copy-pasted, nothing too special. The commentary is nice, but what's really great is the fact that you included pictures.
Summoner Spells
Laning Phase Good tips that can apply to a lot of top laners as well as
Match-ups Match-ups kind of seem spread out. Try and alphabetize them if possible. You're missing top lane champions that can be a really big threat to Darius like
Teamfights Basic information that all players should know, but very few practice. You may want to add a sidenote on grabbing aura's that can help teamfights. (
Jungling The only thing the build lacked was a jungling section but then I discovered this hiding from me. Basic jungle section with normal information. I would highly recommend starting a blue buff regardless, but having a section for red buff start as well is perfectly fine. The more information the better.
Over all it's a great guide. I could easily see this one climbing to the top, I'd really like to see it get a lot more views and feedback as well. I'm not a
A great guide with good coding and the information seems to have come from personal experience, so... *drumroll*
+1
I'll apply these changes as soon as possible.
About alternative masteries:
When jungling (the only way I ever played him) I always add a Philosopher's Stone that I sell later. I always feel gold starved while jungling, probably why he is better top :P
I honestly don't know what else to add... Really, great guide.

About the mastery changes, I wanted to change this but I totally forgot. I was focusing on the match-ups. I didn't write about Jax (which is kind of a tough match-up for Darius) and that's quite a mistake on my part.
Either way, big thanks for the quick review and the Scout point! :D I didn't expect to get such good feedback from you.
What you have here is a really good guide! You might want to add some videos, tho. If you need some jungling stuff, check out Stonewall, but, at any rate, have a +1.
Okay, as much as I hate people not being able to counter

I fully understand your hatred on
I'm planning to put some videos when I have the time (and patience).
Thanks for the upvote and the advice. :)
Sorry it's a bit harsh.
I really, really like this guide. Compared to some other guides, my own included (need to fix that) your guide cuts all the ****. It is absolutely devoid of ******** and goes straight to the point and all that and is very easy to read. Your formatting is well done and you write exactly what is needed and nothing else. Well done.
That aside, I would like to offer my opinion on some things in the guide.
- As tehAsian said, where's the Warmog's Armor?
- I find TriForce kind of meh on Darius due to its prohibitive cost and low health stat compared to FM. You don't need the mana, AP or AS either, and the speed boost doesn't help much (you're still slow, and you don't need speed once someone is bleeding).
- Your matchups section is very inclusive and full of content. However, you should put in a section on what to do against AD carry top as this is a rather common counterplay to seeing Darius.
- Test out
- You might want to mention a
- Between
-
- As jungle Darius, ward all enemy buffs and your jungle for free kills.
And most importantly, please make a section like capter 3 from here: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/darius-complete-guide-to-separating-head-from-neck-215726
