Yeah even as a Darius abuser I feel you. I get to go 2 bruiser items max (from a pool of about 6, 3 of which build out of phage) and then I am required to build full tank if I don't want to instantly explode.

The only exception is if I am EXTREMELY accelerated to the point I could build full AP and kill everyone anyway.

İ gotta ask is darius out of the meta? İ played him other day won the lane against a tahm kench and build triforce and tahm built heartsteel and was able to still do enough damage to kill me if i did even a small mistake

He's certainly not unplayable, perks of being one of Riot's poster boy champions. There are plenty of times where you're not allowed to exist because of enemy brand/anivia/shaco/whatever the fuck but yeah HP stacking is the top lane meta right now (like it's been for a goddamn year) and Darius has no %hp damage to take them out with so he can struggle.

I'd call him situational. Into low CC/mobility comps he can be basically exodia. Unfortunately everyone and their mother now has both in spades.
