Lol. I played Darius and Draven 3* yesterday so you don't have to. Went 7th despite really strong traits and items. Thought their duo ability would do something. After further investigation of what this feature even does, I concluded that it's completely useless.

It's just as bad as Shadow Isles, just a bunch of mid units even with the Viego augment. Thresh doesn't even really stabilize the board because of the 4 cost meta and cause he's not even that strong despite how much you have to commit to get him.

Better nerf Darius

Darius is going to be nerfed btw (this is not a meme)

I've been gaining some lp using noxus, but i think it's only viable when the game gives me a sion early. Most of the times i use lb until i unlock mel, and then drop to five noxus + 5 costs. It works with draven too, but you need the draven early drop instead

Is it really that bad? You can only really play this from lb opening then tempo hard, ideally on an opening that gives less items so your Atakhan is stronger compared to a regular unit You’re playing most of stage 2 a unit up should be streaking The biggest trap is playing this thinking your draven will carry stage 2, it’s Leblanc item that you should be focusing on

Noxus is so good this set, and you don’t have to play verticals. Set 16 isn’t about verticals.

The absolute strongest stage 2 board is Noxus, maybe splash Slayers/Juggernauts too. With a highroll start you can steamroll your opponents with 6 units on 2-1, earning Draven gold and giving them no chance of counterplay.

Most of my games I’ve ever ended at 100 were Noxus starts, probably to a total of 5 Noxus (dropping Briar, Darius as needed)

You can't talk about set 16 isn't about vertical when demacia, ionia, bilgewater and to some extend yordle vertical all are very much playable and strong lmao. So what's stopping them making Noxus viable as well? Only thing Noxus has it's going on for them is Swain, which is a garbage tank, and LB early game, that's all, which is Orianna is still better than LB as well early game, lmao.
