I'm sorry but "walk away and don't trade" is not counterplay. It's non-interactivity. It's boring, it feels stupid to be forced to not interact with your lane partner.
That's why playing against Yorick felt so awful(still does for alot of match-ups) back in the day, you COULDN'T interact with him because all he does is poke you from safe distance with neat-o sustain. You can't interact with Darius because he will out-trade you. End of story. He will out damage you, out sustain you because of Q and innate tankiness, and if we're at level 6, chances are if he's gotten a successful pull on you, you're flashing or dying to his ult.
That's not counterplay! It's having to run like a bitch!The only champions that actually give him grief in lane are champions like Gnar, or Teemo, or Lulu, who just kite him to death before he can even get close, which is funny, because they end up doing to him what he does to others. It's a vicious cycle
