[@Ashbrringer]

Could you pin this comment at the top please? It would be very helpful :)

[@omaryassien7130]

thoughts on frozen heart now that its nerfed

[@mr.something7597]

Just wanted to say that your guides are very much appreciated by not just me but many others Rhoku! Your channel is very invaluable for people like me who want to rank up

[@On_Smoko7508]

I’m getting back into league after years of only playing very rarely with friends, picked up darius recently so this content is extremely helpful thank you man. Keep up the hard work 👍🏻

[@admiralroadrunner4559]

1:32:06 Janna's shield gives AD to the person she puts it on so she was doing that in order for you to kill the tower faster. It's not a small amount either, late game it gives you 50 AD while the shield holds.

[@discoverarcane]

really appreciate your content man, extrmely valuable

[@kamperkreuger8419]

thanks alot i will defenitley use darius to climb now

[@ultrainstinctsign8249]

same

[@hotdogroll]

Love your work bro!

[@jaydenaw28]

I usually never watch guides like this but its so interesting to notice little things that you think is being done wrong or just misplayed but it’s all calculated. Map awareness is insane too.

[@joganditheorangutan]

Trying to get to emerald for the first time this season and have stagnated at Plat 2 for the last few weeks. Gonna use Darius and this guide to hopefully make my goal. Thanks for the great content.

[@moisesaguirre8413]

Death's dance is my favorite item that incentivizes Darius's reset on kill kit.

[@TheZazey]

Thanks again Rhoku! Been feeling like Darius has been too sucky lately for this season but qill take your advice into account.

[@SmokimusMaximus]

Where are you at with league right now? the game is fucking mental tortutre, you agreee? Idk how anyone that isnt coaching/streaming or both are playing this game. I proved myself thanks to ur content, i hit my goals in league and now its time to drop the game im done. Thanks for the guides and stuff, i couldnt have done it without you bby

[@gtxcards1539]

Just quit dude, stop overthinking it. I quit a year ago I just peep in here for fun but I can relate to your tone about the game. I remember when I quit I had a similar thing happen where I hit my rank goal and didn't feel any incentive to hit it again because I had already proven myself, I didn't need to prove myself again.

[@gtxcards1539]

and yes I 100% think people that play in high elo are aspiring pro players, streamers or content creators etc.. It makes no sense that anybody would put themselves through torture like that XD

[@RhokuTV]

Honestly its all about your mentality. I can understand where you are coming from though. Sometimes you just kinda sit there and realize that ur wasting ur time playing the game. What I can tell you to do is ask yourself if you care about the game. Its my job so the answers easy for me but for you, its personal. And if you can't find a reason to play, then don't. Its just a game afterall.

[@SmokimusMaximus]

WWWWWWWWW @@RhokuTV

[@Bro.Synchro]

That's why i say i play for the champions i love and the lore and updates to champions like asu's or reworks i want Darius to get quotes updated or animations updated just like Riven, Garen is fine right now, no need to touch poppy either i guess skins like legendaries i get hyped for like what if they updated Dunk Master and released Dunk Master Garen@@RhokuTV

[@plasmafox2568]

Cosmic insight is still useful in ranged matchups where flash ghost cd is essential to get kills. Say you trade flash for flash and now your next flash will come up sooner than theirs, giving you a kill opportunity.

[@RhokuTV]

yes but you never actually flash IMMEDIATELY as soon as its off cooldown as darius. you always keep it for the right moment. So the reduced summoner cooldown comes into play rarer than you think.

[@NinerRick]

New update is going to make his hit box smaller which is nice but steraks is being gutted. What will be the new go to second item?

[@TheShadow7771]

55:30 lethal company tp be like

[@ultrainstinctsign8249]

Hey Rhoku what is your favorite darius skin? mine is dankmaster darius i just bought it and i love it

[@kainakrit9311]

I haven't played league for 2 months now but from the video, I think Shojin doesn't stack from multiple targets but it stacks from your passive. You can see the stacks go up every time the bleed damage procs.

[@officiallynerdygames7270]

Would it be possible for you to make an itemization guide for the new items on mordekaiser? He's one of my favorite champions but there isn't a lot of content made for him.

[@firstcomesrock8593]

can someone explain when u do go lethal tempo if ever?

[@davidraduktms4234]

fucking love this video

[@theodorovaz4427]

What do you think about eclipse on darius?

[@temo2003]

rhoku what u think about fleet into range matchups , i've seen some high elo darius one trick take it

[@RhokuTV]

its okay but conqueror is sooo needed on Darius. You really FEEL the lack of damage with it. I'd only rely on it if the players playing ranged tops were consistently good enough to not be playable against.

[@crazysans3311]

i saw xiao chao meng go ignite in high elo, do you think this is good against healing champs like warwick so that y dont need to waste gold on anitheal?

[@Ok-qp2gl]

LESSSGOOOO

[@sakai699]

WTF THAT JANNA IN SECOND MATCH OMG I LOVE IT

[@user-jn3no3if6i]

why didn't you mentioned stridebreaker as a second option for first item when being against many ranged champs?

[@damienteisseire9858]

Hi Rhoku, long time viewer here, your thoughts on MrDunkYaGirl build please ? Youmuus + Swifties + stride etc Thanks a lot dude

[@RhokuTV]

1) I play darius. I have no thoughts. 2) bad build. with no hp u get one shot.

[@junior_3676]

Great guide but i recommend therapy from the scarring from full CC teams. ❤

[@user-vu4if9jb7x]

j love your video :)

[@tinu8821]

From what it looks like, Shojin full stacks off of bleed, but won’t get multiple stacks instantly from multi hit q

[@abdullafalamarzi9207]

Bros laugh at 50:17 is evil

[@LeoAr37]

12:16 "if you're unsure just go D Blade" I think you meant D Shield.

[@RhokuTV]

yes i diiiid rip

[@fattcoke4705]

3:57:58 Great video, but leveling with the mouse?

[@dominik4273]

I would like to say I love the guides, really appreciate it, but idk, the gameplay it felt like the elo you played in was around plat especially the TF ones, would love to see something higher around master

[@simonzhang3D]

you pray for jungler. A perfecly played ranges top will auto win against melee

[@haroldbauer8724]

Hello, does this guide still work?

[@rogancalypso5041]

It's no longer "Ranged Toplaner" it's just "Toplaner" now. It's us who are the "Melee Toplaner" now. The tables turned hard lol.

[@k0mb4t92]

when u have Sergei Kravinoff as Draven he will most likely be very fed

[@itzluckygmd8810]

It's like you are reading my mind, please stop you are scaring me

[@user-tb4tb7sv6e]

Do you like woad king ? For me best darius skin woad king☺️

[@RhokuTV]

yeup

[@ryyfromsteam2404]

im high master on NA rn with darius, I used to watch ur videos a lot back then but I simply dont really agree with how you always advertise trinity as a better option than stride. I cannot mention the amount of teamfights where trinity simply killed me by being so fucking useless, the movespeed from stride has always been gamechanging for teamfights and ive always climbed with it. even with current stride, catching ppl off guard by stridebreaking the frontliner and then immediately running towards the backline and hooking has been making the item way too high value for me and thats obv just one example. but yet again, idk how europe players play, maybe they dont kite u as much but yeah, movement speed is key hands down. What I will say tho is that yes triforce does force u to manage ur summoners way better, but at this level of play u already know how to manage those anyways

[@RhokuTV]

Well before this season I always said stride was better than triforce. Now, neither option has the passive perma movespeed so you might aswell get the option that lets you immediately take out the enemy carry with Triforce damage rather than a kinda useful ms buff. Stridebreaker ONLY gets the movespeed if you are already in combat with someone. But if you are in a teamfight and you, like you said, stride the frontline and run to the adc or something, you 10000% just get INSTA stunned and then focused down in 2 seconds by a kraken slayer adc and a mage. It doesnt matter how much movespeed you have when ur stunned and backline damage is way to high rn to afford being stunned. Therefore in my opinion, you win way more games when, instead of playing to front to back teamfights, you essentially ignore the enemy frontline and focus on high value target elimination with Triforce since if you kill the most dangerous person on the enemy team like twice the game is over in your favor. This could be a region thing but in EU, you are looking at like 1 in maybe 30 games where the enemy team doesn't have solid peel that they can IMMEDIATELY shut you down with.

[@drakenvev]

darius vs yorick one question why don't we do so he doesn't loose more xp lvl 1 we should be up his ass ?

[@just_a_folk95]

I don't even ban toplaners anymore. I just ban Smolder/Asol. It's disgusting when champs are designed so the game can't go over 25 mins or they win by default. It's so stupid, the guy literally built tank and let his passive execute do the work. That thing invalidates bruisers so much, a class who's whole schtick is low mobility but big conditional damage so they are supposed to tank hits while getting at people but the reward is you get missing health heal with many of them, guess what? You explode at the exact time you want to heal every time. Dope!

[@RhokuTV]

You can see how terribly their champ design philosophy has changed over time. Kog'Maw does do insane damage but he has weaknesses in that he is the easiest champ to kill ever. He has no mobility, no CC and NEEEDS a support glued to him all the time to not get oneshot by an assassin or a mage. Smolder on the other hand has crazy mobility, can go through walls WHILE attacking, has actual good teamfighting abilties like wtf?

[@just_a_folk95]

@@RhokuTV don't you have fun when you are about to jump on the ranged dps champ and they just hop on the other side of a wall? Maybe you flash and reach them but they have 3k hp and execute now if you're low. Smile, Rhoku, smile!

[@ttrdf]

you gave these silver guys such a hard time, didnt you. thanks for the guide

[@kazzylangley8850]

38:58 it's not your fault the spooder fucked up her smite...

[@yamiyamigorogoro5739]

Rhoku do Darius Jungle

[@hashakahwantstorepent.4176]

The only english speaking darius player who isnt silver 😂

[@smarre12]

Would've loved to have an item set for this 🥲

[@DarkWizard9128]

Trash

[@smarre12]

I find the Frozen Heart vs Randuins choice to often be tough because it feels like you rarely play against a team with no crit but always an auto-attacker, and I like Frozen Heart more 🫤
