I think it works a little like Jax, she has to jump at you (or you just Q and run), do her combo, and when she tries to run away because her shit is on cooldown, you pull her back and she either has to stay and fight to the death or take free damage. I don't think Riven would win auto-attack trades against a Darius, because he has 1/3 of her cooldowns. But I guess this is just theory, for some reason I haven't actually faced a Riven yet. once she gets her ult, you have trouble winning trades vs. her without having the sort of stats that wriggle's gives you. I don't have problems trading with Riven, but I'm typically going tabi -> 1-2 dblades -> wriggle's -> phage, which is pretty much spending your money as efficiently as possible on the stats you need to compete with Riven's damage output. | ||

Seems like Darius has some problems midgame/lategame getting into range, gets kited a bit easily, but when they get close they get demolished. i rarely think that the extra ms from quints would be the difference between dunking and not dunking lategame. it might just be a style thing, but I prefer the resists for laning. | ||

I've seen your other guide and I recognize you as a talented player, and this Darius viewpoint also matches how I feel about him perfectly. He's just ridiculous right now. I fail to see how this small nerf will really balance him out. He's too tanky for the damage he deals out, and his Ult should not be fully refreshed, grace period or no grace period. I really expect Riot to nerf him more in the upcoming patches....but I'm having too much fun owning it up with him that I'm inclined to get him. | ||

Constant shield and heal to counter act bleed harass damage, safe ranged csing ability, hell he even has the ability to prevent a Darius ult refresh on others by ulting. Thoughts? | ||

As for fighting him, you underestimate his passive's damage, and since you'll keep your shield at level 1 while he maxes his b'n'b Q which (? not sure of the word) mana cost doesn't go up, it loses value from level 3. If you try to engage him, if he loses he'll W you and use the slow + his passive's bonus MS to disengage (if you don't taunt-engage he'll just run away while Qing you with the blade), if he wins he'll have the slow + his E to pull you back if you try to dash away. Not sure how badly the trades go damage-wise, tho, and you spoke about "disallow to snowball" by which I guess you meant "farm fest with no killing potential". Smash "seems" to think the D wins. x) | ||

Darius does dunk Shen though in my experience. Shen can't come even close to keeping up with his damage output. Vorpal is such a short range that Darius can trade his Qs for Shen's Qs which puts darius considerably ahead in the damage trades and Shen can't commit either or he gets completely bodied by Darius W and passive. Which means Shen's only way to have evenish trades is Q + W for Darius Q, at which point Darius can rope Shen in with his E, auto -> W, Shen ki strikes for energy back to dash away and then he's slowed and Darius is hasted, which lets Darius catch up for more follow up damage and wicked dunks. I've played the matchup 3 times on stream and every time the lane has proven to be a fairly straight forward win, even if I make costly mistakes early, once I get wriggle's, Shen's completely incapable of hanging with me in lane. http://www.twitch.tv/smashgizmo/b/320408052 1:20:00ish. I botch the lane early and then still dunk him. http://www.twitch.tv/smashgizmo/b/320140788 1:30:00ish. Hardly counts because of the level 1 fight, but dunked. http://www.twitch.tv/smashgizmo/b/319341538 first game. Again I start with an early disadvatage (no flash from level 1 invade) and then dunk him. | ||
