Darius
Figures on this page are from League of Legends patch 16.18.1.
The win, pick, and ban rate figures here are a third-party League of Legends statistics provider's aggregation of match data that originates with Riot Games — Riot doesn't itself publish win-rate statistics. See how it works for the method, including the per-tier noise-width (σ) calibration Should I Dodge publishes on top of that raw data — how far a rate actually sits from meaningless, not something the provider itself measures.
| Role | Win Rate | Pick Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Top | 48.8% | 8.2% |
| Jungle | 50.6% | 0.9% |
About 14.8% of games at this tier see Darius banned before anyone even picks a role — one number for the whole champion, not something that genuinely differs lane to lane. It's shown here alongside Darius's Top numbers, the highest-pick-rate role, purely because that's the row this page leads with. Why isn't this broken down by role?
Darius's Top win rate is 1.2 percentage points below an even 50% — Should I Dodge's win-probability model varies by about 4.8 percentage points of standard deviation from lobby to lobby across all ranks, purely from which champions get drawn, so this gap is smaller than that noise, not solid evidence the champion is unusually strong or weak right now.
Darius is tracked in 2 roles at this tier scope; the per-tier, threat, and counters reporting below all use its highest-pick-rate role, Top — its numbers in Jungle (0.9% pick rate) stay visible in the table above but aren't carried into the rest of this page.
Darius's Top Win Rate By Tier
| Tier | Win Rate | Pick Rate | Edge (noise-widths) | Clears 0.5σ? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | 45.1% | 8.7% | 0.64σ | Yes |
| Bronze | 48.2% | 9.3% | 0.29σ | No |
| Silver | 48.7% | 9.1% | 0.23σ | No |
| Gold | 49.1% | 8.6% | 0.16σ | No |
| Platinum | 49.1% | 8.1% | 0.19σ | No |
| Emerald | 49.7% | 7.4% | 0.07σ | No |
| Diamond | 50.1% | 6.4% | 0.02σ | No |
| Master | 50.2% | 5.4% | 0.04σ | No |
| Grandmaster | 51.6% | 3.8% | 0.21σ | No |
| Challenger | 51.6% | 3.5% | 0.13σ | No |
Darius's Top win rate ranges from 45.1% at Iron to 51.6% at Grandmaster across the 10 of 10 ranked tiers with published data for this role — a 6.5-point spread. Measured against each tier's own noise floor, that's 0.21σ at Grandmaster and 0.64σ at Iron, with only the Iron figure clearing the 0.5σ bar Should I Dodge itself requires before calling a reading anything but Neutral. See how noise-widths are calculated and what they mean for each rank.
Should I Dodge's curated read has Darius's power curve as an early-game lean — a community-consensus judgment about where the champion's power peaks, not measured win-rate-by-duration data (the stats source doesn't publish that).
Darius's kit doesn't flag any of the seven threats Should I Dodge tracks for counter-building — healing, hard crowd control, burst, poke, sustained auto-attack damage, shielding, stealth — and that's a real verdict, not a gap in the table.
Should I Dodge maintains Darius's scaling lean and kit-threat reads above by hand, one champion at a time, across the whole roster — not generated from the win-rate numbers on this page, and not refreshed automatically when those numbers move.
