Yeah, I've always thought Darius basically needs kills in lane or Jax hard won lane. With dshield and jax kit that's Hard.

Jax tools panth and Renekton.

Darius getting kills in a melee lane is not a hard thing. Darius wrecks pretty much everyone in melee range in lane.

hes also insanely easy to get behind considering he has no escape mechanic, 1 mistake and ur lane is completely over

Yeah, that's why we don't see him in competitive. So easy to gank, but in solo queue you can get away with it really easily, and just dumpster whoever the lane is.



Uhh...how?

Darius pushes the lane if he wants to harass with q. Jax under tower has AD from runes and w.

If darius pushes he has no escapes from ganks. Do you even read what you're typing? How does he dumpster a champ that can farm under tower? how does he do this when there's a jungler on the other team and jax has leap and stun?



Why do people on TL just never give up on these things? If you pick Jax, you don't hope that the other team picks Darius. Its simple, just like if you pick Vayne you aren't happy when you see Cait locked in, or if you pick Blitz and they grab Alistar.

There are bad matchups, they aren't always going to lose or win you a game, but they do exist. Why must we have a huge population that pretends they do not?

Because TL doesn't condone the "oh they have Amumu/Kassadin/Blitz, gg surr 20" mentality and believes that every bad match-up can be kept to a "bad match-up" state over "worst match-up ever".
Renekton's supposed to beat Jax. But if until dshield's nerf I'm still able to outplay low Gold Renekton hard enough to win the lane as Jax, you can damn bet I'm going to try and figure out ways to even further abuse opportunities to fight the innate advantage Croc has.

That mentality is fine. That is the correct mentality: To have a plan to deal with tough lane matchups, and playing smart or "outplaying" is how you deal with them.

Which is totally different than pretending that they don't exist, which is what people continually do here.

I didn't see people pretend the bad match-ups didn't exist—at most, they said perpetual bad match-ups don't exist and that there's a point in the lane (or game) where you're going to have a shot at overtaking your opponent. Timing to abuse or stuff like that.

Pretty sure no matchup is out-winnable like some people assume, like you said theres points you can overtake them, or just by virtue of not dying and getting what farm you can be more useful than them later on

jax vs darius is a pretty good matchup considering how dominant darius usually is. Because jax E stops darius from stacking his stuff he can all in quite well. you just need to survive past 6 or so and darius is easy to gank so thats a plus

diana vs yasuo is pretty impossible in terms of never having a good point. garen vs kayle also pretty stupid since kayle can freefarm and run with W to avoid garen's entire Q duration

Darius is always strong versus bruisers. No idea why people make that matchup sound easy. "Just last hit under turret" is such a cryptic statement because it basically means you take lots of turret dmg while he runs off and ganks mid or does dragon. The main thing you need to be aware of this matchup is when you want to all in (usually when your jungler is coming) because you never want to trade in his max Q range. If you ever drop to half in this matchup, don't EVER expect a jungle gank so come to lane with lots of pots.

last hitting under tower is a good tactic but there are ways to abuse it. Harass while he last hits and dive, resetting the wave and making him lose 2-3 cs per wave etc. Top going down to gank is normally the best way to lose your advantage actually, it's such an overrated tactic if you aren't pantheon or someone with TP or something

=( When I start losing top but hold turret, they just run around the map and do what they want while my team bitches at me =\.

*Actually I just realized I said "gank mid" when really in hindsight it tends to be "go take mid turret".

Doesnt Darius struggle with harassing under the turret since his only harass is his Q which makes the tower aggro him because of the bleed?

yes but all the creeps are dead you so just land auto + q or just q from axe range and then walk off and let him bleed out all the damage

as for him going to take mid tower it takes longer to get to mid than it takes for you to finish killing the creeps and then you can push the wave and take top tower so meh

also most mids have a neasy time clearing mid even with darius there

So, according to Richard Lewis (so take it with a grain of salt), apparently XDG is now considering benching Bloodwater, putting Zuna on support, and putting NickWu in the jungle. (Here's the link, but the site appears to be down)

If this is true, then the joke scenarios Fusilero's been proposing in LR threads are actually coming true. Next they'll bench Xmithie to put RobertxLee on adc.

EDIT: Apparently "benching" might be the wrong word, evidently Bloodwater is considering retirement and they need to make a roster change to deal with it.
