How to lane vs a fed Darius?

I was playing Illaoi on that game, and while i usually do well against Darius as Illaoi, i got cheesed by lvl 2 Shaco with ignite and Darius camping the top bush giving him two early kills, plus he got a third from my Master Yi jungler.

After that i just didn't know what to do anymore, he had item 3047 and item 3044 and was dodging any of my skillshots with ease. Also my animations are so slow that he would just close the gap and latch unto me everytime. He was very aggressive and even farming undertower was almost impossible. I died again and his lead was too big for me to do anything.

I usualy expect to be able to farm undertower when my enemy has the advantage, but for the first time i wasn't even safe and without minions i was falling further behind on every wave. With my slow animations and his movement speed i felt like there was nothing i could do, especially with how sticky Darius is with his grab and slow.

If i was to replay that game i know i could probably do better on some points, but anyone got a tip on how to lane vs a snowball champ like Darius when sh*t goes bad and he gets an early lead?

Play super safe. You got ganked, and lost lane right there. You must've over extended a second time without a good ward to have it happen again. If he gets 3 kills in the laning phase, he's too far ahead. You should've just farmed it out after his first one.

As an L7 Darius player, I can confirm the above statement.

As he says above, basically play it safe. Farm under turret, DON'T go in on him, because at this point, he's just WAITING for you to pull a stunt like that. Try to avoid getting pulled by him as much as possible, (I realize it's easier said than done, but just do your best) because even when you're at full health and a Darius is ahead by 3 kills and has the proper items, he will more likely than not WIN the trade.

Overall, just try to OUTLAST him (Keep your outer turret alive for as long as possible) as much as you can to try and farm to make up for the gold difference. If you can get to the late game, you SHOULD be able to even things out. I can't say you'll catch up or beat him in Kills, just be able to go about even (Where you kill him, he kills you in a trade, a Double KO, if you will.)

Pick aatrox, kill him after lvl 6

Junglers decide lanes, not laners. You "lost", the end.

Play teemoTeemo . He is a hard counter to dariusDarius who is not good against champions with lots of mobility and high ability power. Also he is ranged so you can farm safely.
