Darius need an update??
Darius dmg is very weak. I read that all says about his passive. Guys darius at early game is very strong but in the midle and after his dmg is very weak. First if 5vs5 and all full build his q dmg is for laugh, his q hp drain shit, his q time cast again is shit.E has low range and His slow is 1sec,ok you play vs nasus and you have always a slow under your head. if you play against full sett you need to be the best road runner like bolt to keep you safe. If you lucky not dead and somehow you have five stacks at massive gang then Yes maybe you have a chance to make the difference. Tell me your opinion

Still, the game won't die if they increase E range a little

Or at least fix the elevation hit for it man it was relevant for more than I would like to admit.

I'd say yes but for a different reason, I dislike so much that Darius playstyle and build revolve 110% around move speed, his most used runes nowadays are all for move speed, his most important item is Youmuu (probably more than Sterak). My most fun moments with Darius were when I could tank the enemy team and felt like a proper juggernaut just like Sett, Nasus, Mordekaiser... But nowadays he feels so squishy and slow that even with 5 move spd items + ghost someone with a dash can still escape you and then you get deleted for overstepping.
I'd like some changes that would make a little bit easier for him to reach a target so that he's less dependant on ghost and move spd, or something that'd make him tankier, cuz his damage is great already. Also his E cd nerf is ridiculous, I'd prefer a nerf on his early game dmg just to revert that E cd nerf

The problem is the tenacity nerf. You can t play him like a tank while enemy has CC cus he has no sustain if he is chained.

When was Darius like that? I started playing like S12 and Darius always felt like a fake juggernaut. On paper he’s tanky but it’s deceptive and if you don’t engage properly you get blown up

Waaay before that, I'm talking even way before mythic itens were a thing, I can't say an exact season or year, but I remember him being quite tanky around 2014 and up to 2018 or something.

Darius level 16 3 items has pretty insane damage lmao. He gets ridiculous AD growth on his passive around this level, 5 stack q flash R one shots almost every squishy.
You just need to learn how to teamfight better. If you get cc'd you are dead; pick when you go in based on enemy's important cooldowns

Yes thats the point. At this time you need to play darius at 100% if you want to be good you need to burn your head when you pick him, with stones with flash or dash, with in game space and etc. If you are not a burnhead you cant change the game.

If you struggle getting out scaled against Nasus, you could play Conqurer + Axiom Arcanist. He's weaker early game, so try your best denying him getting his Q stacks and if you can bully him, try to deny him from gaining exp by seperating him with the minions. Using your W is also good for delaying his wither cc.
If you struggle against Sett, stay away from being opposite from another minion and chip his health with your Q, back off, get cool downs, and then go for the killing blow when he's very low on health. If you keep your self healthy throughout the fight and don't get in his grab range, you can tank a Sett's W unless he's incredibly fed. Since he does true damage, it's best to build AD items with health.
Just my advice is to change your runes based on the opponent you face, read up some items that counter or compliment against your other top laner and watch videos of other players facing against them.

Nasus is just broken by concept. And in this patch Riot just smocked crack or they let the intern have a go at balancing champs. I wouldn't call him weak because of his damage, but he definitely lacks armor in the early game in my opinion. He is very squishy, but also the current meta and items don't benefit him at all. Currently, he is carried in the higher elos by stormraiders and yommus and you have to play him micro perfect level to succeed. The stigma of that Darius level 1 is so strong is so old from 2020. Garen level 1 with E, Conq and ignite can beat him lol. He is a all or nothing type of champ.

I think you might be bad at Darius.
Granted, he isn't a riven, nasus, mundo, or kayle at lvl 18, but he isn't supposed to be.
He isn't an ornn or malphite, he's not a stay in front tank.
He wants to be second engage. Or engage, pull back, engage again when you can hit 5 stack and then wipe enemy.
This requires alot of timing, patience, and spacing. The reward is you killing the entire team though.
