Then why does one of them have an ability whos most available counterplay is to get close to him?

Darius Q Healing mechanic / avoiding it by being too close for the blade to hit you.

Isnt that counter intuitive counterplay?

( 'OP' Screams aside.. this is a valid question. )

I like it. It gives you an actual chance at fighting him if you are a duelist, but punishes you for mispositioning if you got too close to him on accident. It's good that "in general" you shouldn't get close to him, but there should be other ways to counterplay him especially for melee champions. Also Riot has stated that champions need counterplay outside of their class rules.

Personally this is why I hate Darius (plus how you can't stop his spin. I don't mind him healing, I just wish I could cancel it). It's a very annoying mind game.
