Having some major issues with the new Darius :/

I've been playing Darius for a good chunk of time now, and up until the 5.16 jugg patch, I would win almost every single game with Darius. I had 200+ ranked games with him the past season, and playing him was a lot of fun. As of today, I have not won any lane trades, or matches for that matter with Darius' new kit; more specifically his "Q."

The whole "wind up" Q bugs me a lot, because I'm so used to the instant cast, and it throws me off in almost every single fight I go into. Sure, his better W is nice, and his passive is fantastic, but his Q to me, is just awful now. If riot were to up the damage that his Q does currently, or even shorten the windup time, things might be a little better. I would much rather have his instant Q back honestly. The slim amount of health you get back from hitting on the outside blade really doesn't make up for the amount of damage output lost.

Maybe I'm just not used to his new kit yet, but I can't be the only one that doesn't like this new Q. If it's at all possible, Riot, fix his Q. Darius has long been a favorite character of mine, and It sucks seeing his early damage be virtually useless against most top lane champions.
