Why no one pick Darius at pro scene?

Why on the earth no one pick him after Worlds? Is he that weak? What can be done with him to see him at pro scene again? I'm sick of the same Ekko Gangplank Maokai things. The same question about Garen Illaoi Mordekaiser Nasus.

It's not that he's weak, it's that his intended weakness is incredibly easy to play against at the pro level.

At Worlds the juggernauts were kinda broken, which is why you were kinda forced to pick or ban them or risk the loss.

I would love and give my left nut to see them revert the radius of his Q swing. I would play him all the time then. Now it's just a small spin to win and it just isn't as cool as the wide swing around.

Hell, you can delete his heal to compensate giving back his radius.

That's all I want.

Actually Nasus was picked once in LCS 2016:

Darius is immobile and has a relatively short pull range. Good players probably know how to just stay out of that range and kite him or get zoned so that it's very hard for him to accomplish anything good in most fights. He's just not as viable as too many other champions to make it.

There are tons of champions you don't see in the LCS, in fact most of the times they are the same.

Heimerdinger was never used in the LCS for example.
