Wow..haven't posted in a long time. So, my other f***** monitor just got fixed, problem is, my LoL is on my OLD PC. The PC that had a broken monitor So, i'm back in action. Having fun with my friends, taking on a full team of 5 bots and all that crap. Just wondering, near our University, there's this place called 'Smackdown'. A gaming cafe, that sells RIOT POINTS. YES!So i'm planning to spend 200 pesos (equivalent to approx. 5 USD)to get 200 riot points to buy..Darius! yeah! a beefy Yi! wooooSo, before i go ahead and get some RP, i have to ask the pros: Is he worth it? or should i go ahead and buy Varus and other champions.. o_0?

First off, quick note, Varus is not worth it. Most any other AD carry will serve you better for most anything.Darius will win you games, and he will lose you games, there is more or less no middle ground to him by design. He's an all-in champion with no means of escape meant to rush in, and get one of two outcomes:
He dies He Pentakills
There is no other outcome unless some members of the opposing team aren't there for you to get that pentakill. Darius is like this because his Q and Ultimate more or less set him up for all of the leap-frog kills, but only if you actually have the farm/feed to get enemies low enough to play leap-frog in the first place. If you can get an ult off that kills somebody to start the leap-frog chain, you will continue it until all opponents are dead If you can't get that first person low enough in a teamfight, you die. It's really as simple as that. If you feel like I said leap-frog a lot just now, it's because that is really how Darius works in teamfights. He Q's a lot until people are low because of his AoE damage and bleeds, then he plays Leap-frog. He is AP Tristana but more viable.In lane he acts much in the same fashion, since he has no ranged poke abilities or escapes, his harassment is "I hit you in the face, I can't run from you, but I'm hoping I scare you enough so that you run instead". This means that ranged tops, like Teemo, Kayle, and Kennen, will wreck him, as well as high durability/sustain champs like Yorick, Warwick, and Shen. However "the run of the mill top" that doesn't stand out in either range or durability/sustain, will have problems if they don't play to his weaknesses, mainly the "I can't run f
