Why is it that every game I play with a Darius he is ALWAYS overpowered? Even when he isn't fed to begin with. He can literally get stomped in lane and it doesn't even matter. You should not be forced to ban a specific champ every single game to be able to have a chance at winning. Something needs to be done with Darius' kit. It's very frustrated and unbalanced.
Sp33d Zer02 votesDarius is strong, but he is hardly over powered. When fighting him, You can either duck into his melee, or dodge out of his max range when he is prepping up his Q. This stops his healing and a lot of his damage. If he manages to get 5 stacks on you, immediately disengage as best you can, as he gains a lot of Attack damage. Stay with your team as he is very prone to being kited do to his lack of move speed and gap closers (save for his 550 range pull on a 20 sec cd).
If you have to lane against him, either pick a ranged champion to fight him that has some form of disengage 
, or someone who can quickly close in on him to fight him 1v1 and avoid his Q 
or someone who can naturally block/avoid damage from his ultimate 
Razlid1 votesso are many champs but darius isn't overpowered people just know his strengths and when to play him.

has clear weaknesses, being a THE Juggernaut it's nearly impossible to 1 vs. 1 him with a melee champ. Depending on how fed/good he is he can even 3, 4, and 5 vs. 1. Depending on the enemy team comp. You should NEVER attempt to fight a Darius as a melee champion solo unless you are very far ahead.
Being a Juggernaut, he has zero gap-closers aside from flash which has a very long cooldown. This makes him weak to ranged champions/being kited. Pick someone who out ranges him and you can force him out of lane as long as you can avoid his hook.
If he even gets on you at all you should run, because he will 100-0 you with his combo.
TL;DR
Don't even try to fight him as a melee. Outrange him and poke him out of lane with someone like or 
and he will be useless later.
Dovahkiin4161 votesAlso, if you ever have trouble against a champion. Play that champion. That's what I do, and that's how I learned how to play against Darius.
There's nothing for frustrating to face a with first-item

It was horrible.
Ralanr2 votesMy most recent encounter was with Yorick.
I wanted to stay in the ground.
UnboundHades3 votesas a gnar main I refuse to build frozen mallet just because of how stupid the item is to play against

Makior721 votesAre you struggling in lane against him or in team fights, or both? For team fights you need 1-2 people with hard cc to keep him off carries. For landing if possible aim for someone with a lot of sustain or range. Jayce and Ryze are good picks into him.
If you picked before he did and you got countered then it's a matter of experience and who exactly your champion is. And while Darius has an advantage over melee champions that doesn't mean you can't beat him, just that you need to be very very picky about how and when you fight him.
