    Darius sounds like Garen on steroids. The power creep is so plainly evident.
    His ult is more like Cho's because of the true damage+a Varus explosion kicker on top of it. That's ridiculous. I feel a little bit of J4 in him also.

    I wonder how Teemo will do against Darius. Just because I like any excuse to play Teemo.

    - Hemorrhage (Passive): Darius aims his attacks strategically, causing his to target bleed. This effect stacks up to five times.
    - Decimate: Darius swings his axe in a lethal circle. Enemies struck by its blade take more damage than those struck by its shaft.
    - Crippling Strike: Darius's next attack severs a crucial artery. As the target bleeds out, their movement and attack speeds are slowed. Crippling Strike's cooldown is lower the more bloodied its target.
    - Apprehend: Darius hones his axe, granting him passive armor penetration. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.
    - Noxian Guillotine (Ultimate): Darius leaps to an enemy champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing true damage. This damage is increased for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target. If Noxian Guillotine is a killing blow, its cooldown is refreshed.

    So Darius is a tanky bruiser with three gap closers?

    That's like nightmare material for anybody ranged without an escape mechanic.


    I only see one gap closer: his ultimate. I also like the trade off on his ultimate: if he uses it early to get in range then it deals less damage than it would later in the fight (since the target has no stacks of Hemorrhage if Darius uses it to open.)

    His E also has a short range pull/spin but I'd like to think that its range will be the same as Garen's spin. Not to mention Darius also has his another spin (Q) ... two spins on one champ!

    His passive grants bonus movement speed, his W slows, his E pulls enemies towards him (although, granted, the effectiveness of that will depend on its range), and his R is obvious.

    Basically, if he gets the jump on someone like Varus, they're not getting away.

    So, in fact, you have attested to my statistic that I am apparently the only one who can't play D3. =P

    I cannot play D3 too.

    Can your computer physically NOT handle the game specs? Or are you just saying you physically do not own the game. Because I HAVE D3. I just can't run it on this POS laptop.

    @Burnage his passive doesn't give movement speed and i don't think you can count a slow that basically requires you to already have been right next to them as a "gap closer" because it won't help you close a gap if the gap already exists

    His reveal says it does;
    At the heart of Darius’ kit is his passive ability: Hemorrhage. Darius’ basic attacks and damaging abilities all cause the target to bleed for additional damage over time. This effect can stack up to five times, also giving Darius some bonus Movement Speed for each enemy champion currently afflicted and granting his other abilities additional effects.

    It's not a great gap closer or anything, but it's still added mobility.

    Sounds like a great jungler. For sure, if I learn to jungle this Dyrusarius, I'll have to start legitimately taking smite/flash....I fucking hate flash. It really is a worthless spell. You only take flash because you don't want to learn the other guy took flash, and you can't get away/catch up. Why not create a Blink Dagger like they had in DotA. That was really all I ever needed. :\
    But yeah. Flash in from the bush for a gank, throw down my E (and pray to God I don't miss), W (or aa if W has decent range to allow), pepper in some Q, and when they start to get out of range, gut-check to see if you think R is a good thing to use.
    Also, seems like a good example of "is the enemy flash down? When was the last time they used it?"

    Which also means, (not that it will ideally happen this way) if there are 2 or 3 tanky melee enemies in a team fight, you can slice each of them for plenty of move speed to run at the squishies behind them.

    I can't play it because D2 was the dullest game I ever played.

    Maybe as dull as playing Sona. Maybe. Anyway I've noticed recently I seem to get hard randomed into a champion when there are still 12-15 seconds left on the timer, what's up with that?

    Flash is amazing for most every champ. Olaf and a few others are the only ones I don't take it on. For most, it lets you escape crazy odds, or set up plays you couldn't otherwise get

    That happens to me sometimes if I don't hit play now immediately. It's like the time I let tick off is gone but doesn't tell me in the overall countdown.

    I must say I was pretty perplexed by that comment too.

    As of late ive found ghost much better than flash on any melee bruiser. People flash away from me and i catch them in 2 seconds anyway, and because i have much higher ms i can hit them a lot more. If i took flash and someone flashed away flashing after them wont probably net me a kill.

    Ghost on riven, olaf, trynd, udyr etc is boss.

  • JoshmviiJoshmvii Registered User regular
    Yeah, on bruisers ghost is often the better choice, though I usually still take flash on irelia and udyr, because bladesurge and bear form cover the gap closing anyway

    I mean, blink dagger seems like this super-fun super-cool nostalgic item... and then you realize that people who want to win pick up heros like Ali, get blink as their 2nd item, and spend all game blink-butting you into their whole team, or blinking into your whole team, knocking them up, and letting their teammates maul you. Y'know how flash-ali is kind of annoying, but hey, the CD on flash kind-of keeps it from being too insane? Imagine if we knock that CD to like 45-60 seconds. /weep. Other "fun" that could occur: blink-blitz, blink-sion, blink malph, blink nunu-ult, mumu-blink, cho-blink, galio-blink, and so forth. Flash is used by squishies to play defensively and very occasionally as a sweet gap-closer. Blink dagger is the opposite of this and makes it absolutely wretched to play any sort of squishy.

    On the plus side, the games would end ~ 25 min as even turtling woudl get hammered pretty good by the team that's ahead, so it's not all bad. 0 comebacks errday.
