 Darius | Favored | 137 | 43% | -187 | +474 | You have a lot of kill pressure on him if you bring ignite. Play safe and dont get frozen on pre sheen. After sheen look to poke him with q and barrels but try not to shove the wave in. You want to have a barrel on you at all times so he cannot just ghost on you and force a fight. | |
