That's not really an option when you are a one trick like myself. And even if I weren't whats to say id have interest in playing the champions that counter him. I try to survive him if I'm laning him, but he is very annoying late game regardless unless my team is really good. Otherwise if I'm not laning him it just feels like he destroys lanes. Its so dumb.
Yeah, the secondary character (malz I'd definitely reccomend as he's basically freelo right now) wouldn't be just for that. Let's say your "one trick" gets pick/banned by the enemy team, or worst case scenario they take both it and darius. Then you'd have something safe to rely on.
Oh, and all the facts you used to describe darius are like 300% applicable to both pre and post rework malz. The difference is that one requires you to actually use some strategy with abilities whereas the other can literally get a penta with all of two button clicks.
