so, Darius is and always has been known as a "noob/pub stomper" meaning he capitalizes HIGHLY on the mistakes a player makes(for example trying to 1v1 a darius at lvl 1 with a yasuo....).
in solo Q, regardless of what elo you are in, people make shit tons of mistakes ESPECIALLY in lane since everyone in solo Q is so focused on fighting the enemy laner. Darius excels at this and can kill you level 1 if you are stupid enough to fight him or get too close to him. Because of this darius is stomping the living shit out of solo Q because players make so many mistakes against him usually out of impatience(diving him, getting to close to him and he pulls you, trying to 1v2 a fed lvl 7 darius with a lvl 5 jg and lvl 5 top laner, etc etc etc).
in a highly competitive environment like worlds mistakes are almost non existent. this mean darius has NOTHING to work with and will basically be 100% useless to both himself and his team, making it a 4v5. Darius shouldn't be picked in worlds, but his Solo Q dominance made him seem more powerful than he actually is.
so basically the team that picks a darius in worlds will almost always lose.

The people at worlds would not be picking him if he sucked.
dont be a damn sheep. Picking darius at worlds is a critical mistake that the team should vote AGAINST. they are letting the traumatization of getting stomped in solo Q by a fed darius effect judgement. he is so damn easy to counter or avoid, for example pick gnar and not only will you out tank him, you will out CC him AND he wont be able to touch the gnar in lane. the gnar pick with be infinitely more useful than darius.
the teams not banning or picking darius actually are the smarter ones.
