I have a huge problem with darius in late game even when fed. I just can't get in any range to do any dammage and they just focus and initate on me with some cc or something.

the ult can be hard money but its hard to get into the fight and get the combo rolling. god I wish I had a blink on him.

You need to build some defense on Darius because he doesn't have escape mechanisms or an invincibility ultimate. That's not, however, a huge problem for him because he can ignore Last Whisper and build other items.

In the three or four games I've played him I've been going like double BT, GA, Randuins, Mercs, Mallet. End up like 200/200 resists and a solid 3k HP too, and still do 900 damage with your ult.

They basically have to focus you or you kill their whole team... if they focus you you win if your AD carry doesn't suck dick.

You build him like a typical AD caster like Riven, Lee, Decent resistances with BT for damage+lifesteal, maybe shields like Hexdrinker/Maw/G.A

Does Darius have a skill that makes him unkillable for a while as well as a really good dash? You need some defense.



I feel like Frozen Heart is a really good item on him. I wonder why no one builds it, but people seem to like randuins on him. The armor and aura helps him survive (not as much as randuins, but FH also has more armor), the cdr is really really good with his w and good for q and e too. It also gives him some mana so he can use more spells in a teamfight (500 mana = 5 ults = penta ). Plus Glacial Shroud on its own is already pretty good for a relatively cheap price.

Additionaly you probably wanna get something like mercs and maw to cover some MR. (you might want more depending on the team, but you should be in a decent place with that). Maybe needs some health Frozen Mallet or Trinity Force if you have the gold (trinity proc nice with w i guess). Or just suck it up and go atmogs.

GA should be good too since he will probably always be a threat.


Blood thirster seems like the best idea for a major defensive item considering his ad scaling and his lack of sustain. Last Whisper might be a decent idea, with his e and the mastery from offense you get 1-(0.75*0.6*0.9)=0.595 -> almost 60% armor pen.

Ghost blad seems feasible too. Some of the stats are a bit meh, especially the flat armor pen, but the active is really good and goes well with what Darius does. Plus brutalizer really good for midgame anyway, when you don't have many points in e and don't have a last whisper.



So I guess you'll get like a brutalizer or a hexdrinker or maybe phage and then go into getting a thirster.

Final build for me would look like this:
Mercs/Tabi
Thirster
Maw
Last Whisper
Frozen Heart
GA or Ghost Blade


That's my view on it.

Why get Bruta? Percent pen calculated after flat pen, you get about same Armor pen regardless. Rather wait 300 gold get a BF Sword. Same with LW, you get one free. Why build one? Gives you a slot to build another tanky item on. You can build like a Riven would but have room for one more Tanky item.

I talked about the armor pen a bit in that post. You get 25% and you only get it after maxing out E. With LW+mastery you can get to pretty much 60% armor pen. Without Last Whisper you'd be at 32,5% (e+mastery). Sounds pretty good to me, especially with the way armor damage reduction is calculated. You will probably max E last, meaning you won't get more % armor pen until level 14, which is why a Brutalizer will still be a very good choice for midgame.

I agree though, going straight BF after double dorans might just be better in a lot of cases.

I know Teemo is like the most annoying top ever made, how does he do against darius? It seems like he'd wreck him even harder than other melees, since Darius has no escape.

Teemo could probably do well as long as he doesn't give up control of the bushes, which would mean needing to constantly ward to prevent ganks, but thats not as big of a deal.

I dunno how badly Teemo would win because his auto attack range puts him dangerously close to Darius's Q and E and if Darius can land his skills I'm pretty sure he'd outtrade Teemo by quite a bit.

When you go all-in damage on Darius or similar at least put a chain vest on him. Just 700 gold is massively reduced damage.
1400 gold on 2 chain vests is just as much armour as 3000 gold on frozen heart. Plenty tanky for cheap, can just spend on damage after that.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.

I think you should typically be getting Omen and/or Aegis on him. He has no defensive skills, so you need a mix of HP and resists due to his short range.

I was getting bruta > CDR boots > Sunfire > Banshees on Darius and doing extremely well. but i also go straight flat AD for runes and 21/9/0 masteries to keep his damage up. especially since executioner + havoc both improve his ultimate when you are planning on using it anyway. I want to find a way to work executioners culling into a darius build just for theme sake though, it's not a bad item for him anyway.

I'm seriously stuck on how to build Swain now.

I know he has always been a RoA first champion, and then after that you build depending on lane: can go SV if you have a tough lane and need to be tankier, Rylai's for more damage and tankys, or Zhonya's if against an AD in lane/fed ADs.

I'm really trying to force Chalice in atm. I just don't see where it would fit, since you want Swain to get RoA asap. I just don't think its good to buy a cata+chalice, since you don't need double the sustain. Chalice+Swain passive will bring you back up to solid mana easily, allowing you to spam ult for the sustain.

Looking into maybe rune'ing him differently. Any thoughts from anyone else?

Could Athenes + WOTA be good on Swain? Pretty good AP numbers as well as decent MR + Spellvamp
