As the title suggests, I feel like this legendary is secretly garbage. I’m fooling around with Warrior an this card just doesn’t deliver at all.
Cut it from my decks an everything just flows better. Militia Commander just does the job way better. Anyone of you Warrior mains have info to why Darius is just doing bad?
He’s not “garbage”.
He just has a hard time keeping up when the meta has settled on shenanigans like Waggle Pick into Double Corsairs, giant Edwins or Mages summoning multiple big minions by turn 5.
The meta is simply not favoring him, like mentioned above. He’s not a bad card. He’s decent at removing minions from the board, like Militia Commander, but he also buffs himself, making himself a threat your opponent simply can’t just ignore, unlike Militia Commander. But he’s admittedly not amazing either.
I think the other reason is because Rush Warrior, to my disappointment, didn’t make the cut after the rotation. Seems that they simply lost too much. Crowley would’ve been better in a more Rush focused deck with cards like Spirit of the Rhino and Akali, the Rhino.
I played like 200 rush warrior games last expansion and if I had to cut 3 cards he wouldn’t have been the first but definitely the 2nd or the 3rd. His job in the deck is pretty much just removal bait. If they stated him a 4/5 instead of 4/4 I think he’d be an infinitely better card. At 4 health 90% of the time he’s walking away from the trade with one or 2 health and it’s just too easy to deal 2 damage in this game.
Well gentlemen it might be the meta. But for what he is, an his typical performance in a bunch of different matchups. I think Imagineer has is right the stateline just sucks.
I thought he might be pretty good given the cheapish minions being played but once again, we have a better 4 drop an no one wants Darius Crowley over Zilliax for 5 mana.
Don’t get me wrong, if you do use it with spirit of the rhino and manage to remove something while becoming a 6/6 he’s pretty good, but even them it just seems underwhelming.
Rogue, probably. Rogue has few 1 attack minions, so he will usually have less than 5 health, and rogues destroy minions with less than 5 health with almost 0 effort.
View him has a 5 mana 6/3 that kills a small enemy minion. It is good, but situational.
Situational usually means it gets slotted in and out depending on the meta.
He’s good in a meta where he has targets to kill and love from.
Right now my control shaman with dragons runs Scalehide for the sole purpose of trading into a giant from mage on turn 3 or 4 with whatever other minion I played before.
So like you say. At the moment I too would rate militia commander as better because I think tush minions, with the exception of shamans fountain, are purely being used as removal that they won’t live through. 4 mana for 5 damage is not bad. And the 5 mana 4/4 deal 4 if you have a big spell is I think also comparable because for one less mana you can shoot over taunts AND even if you don’t kill whatever it is you hit, you get the 4/4. So in a meta of big minions you can’t live through rushing into them, the battlecry damage is just better imo.
Mmmmmm… Those Tush minions ![:heart:](https://dacy5cilkxabf.cloudfront.net/en/hearthstone/images/emoji/twitter/heart.png?v=6" ":heart:")
Secretkeeper and Master of Disguise FTW
How is he garbage? He often kills a minion, stays on board, then has 6 attacks and needs your opponent to invest something into him.
Imo he’s (by far) one of the most balanced legendaries out there. I love how you, OP, prove, that for some players everything that isn’t broken is automatically bad. I can just imagine what this line of thinking means for someone’s everyday life.
Lol! I like you Schwifty, but dude this card is bad. Anyone can give a positive to a card, but Darius Crowley isn’t doing enough for Warriors.
Like I mentioned I was just using this guy an nothing but disappointment gifted to me in all those games where I had him.
I dunno 
I actually crafted him and he hasn’t dissapointed me so far?! (granted: I didn’t play him much in this current meta)
As I said: He often stays alive as a 6/3 or something and demands your opponent attention (something like a soft taunt). He isn’t amazing but I think that’s what makes him balanced.
He is one card that usually requires two to kill him. I fail to see how he is bad?
I would have thought Darius would feast on all the murlocs imo
Exactly. He’s a good anti-aggro tool and sucks at almost everything else (which is why he’s balanced and I’d call him very well designed).
Damnit I hate autocorrect. Not changing it meow.
I’d be legitimately disappointed if you did.
He is not as good as the other two rush minions that Warrior is running. Zilliax is Zillias and Milita can kill 5-health minions which are abundant in the current meta.
You should replace him with other tech cards like Baron Geddon or Owl.
