I am pretty sure that riven wins trades as long as she can unleash her combo and then get the fuck out, but Darius will win if he manages to prolong the trade. 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.

I guess I would really have to test this out to be sure, I just don't think that getting wriggles on Darius is worth it as it's pretty much killing your late mid and late game potential.. But, like with wriggles bottom, it's a choice that has it's strengths and weaknesses, I just don't like it.

Thoughts on movespeed quints instead of armor quints? 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 have one more question - What the hell do you do when facing a good kennen? A properly played kennen has about a 0% chance to lose this match up from my experience.

it's the same as any ranged matchup really. get early ganks and capitalize on all aggressive positioning by them with hook -> dunk. I haven't had much trouble with ranged champs, they are counters, but it's soft because any mistake from them can lead to easy kills for Darius, as all ranged champions get butchered in the span of 1 combo it seems.

Problem is, a good kennen will never come in range for you to hook him. His range is 625, hook's is 550. He can always be just a little too far away, and if you finally manage to pull him, he Es away like the little faggot he is. Haven't you had problems with him?

his range is 575, not 625. also, attacks have animations, so you can run at him and wait for him to start an attack animation, keep running for a split second and then use your pull. having > range doesn't necessarily mean you get to dictate everything about a lane otherwise Cait would never get hit bot lane, but as we all know, that's not the case. the only ranged hero that has proven extremely problematic is teemo and that's because he can blind when you hook to cut your damage down considerably and he's basically ungankable post-6. other than that, as I said before, ranged heroes are soft counters to darius, but they're walking on a razor's edge to stay ahead in the lane because 1 misstep = death.

nerf looks to be fairly gentle. -25% scaling to his passive, ult refresh won't happen nearly as often in teamfights. I'm glad they didn't bury him, I think he'll still be a strong top laner after this nerf, though I am sad that the ult nerf seems to be a considerable nerf to his already weak late game.

@OP

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.

What are people's thoughts on Darius being countered (or at least not allowed to snowball in lane) by Shen?
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?

just played against malphite as darius.

early game was painful, but once I got some items, could just kill malphite straight up.

Darius fun.

you don't have to be a dick
waveofshadow is a nice poster with a genuine question

as for my input, i agree with you wave
darius should never be able to kill shen because of shen's dash at the very least
at the worst i see this as a freefarm lane
otherwise shen can build some early armor and still do a ton of damage to darius
the only hard part is, with the frequency these guys are banned, seeing either yet alone both in the same game

You need to hit to heal, or to last hit with the dagger. If you do the former you're zoned (since you want to heal because he probably outtraded you) and even if you're not you're pushing, and if you do the latter then you won't have healed much before his E comes back. Well you can always dash away from him I guess.

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)
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

you're right, that was uncalled for.

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.
