I'm no Darius main but I play a lot of top and it seems weird how Darius is basically always winning a trade if it ever become a melee battle. Basically every aa modifying passive has a window of power (
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, etc.) and it just seems like it would be nice for more melee focused champs to have such a window against Darius.
Thoughts?

weird, i get destroyed as darius everytime by melee toplaners that can burst me before i have 5 stacks
The window is backing off before you have too many stacks.
These guy's AA modifier don't have windows of power or similar windows 
they key to fighting darius is short bursts and getting out before he can get more than 3 stacks on you. fiora renekton riven and even jayce if you can hold your E long enough work well against him. jump in burst him and gtfo before he has a chance to combo you. if you can dodge his Q or get hit bythe handle you win trades hard.
If his passive had a cd, he would need more time to get stacks so the passive would last longer. This would make his passive more toxic not less.
The change you speak of would be extremely unnecessary. Darius is a fairly linear/predictable champ. In matchups like Fiora, Riven, and even Yasuo can be extremely rough for Darius. What makes hem rough is that all of the champions can very easily outplay Darius's "linearness". There's a reason he winrate plumits the higher the Elo. He's just easy to outplay. Darius wins in extended fights. If he can survive the Riven burst he will win. All in all this change is unnecessary. But, good thought regardless!
Just to give some grounds for what I said I have almost 800k on Darius and I peaked at number 2 Darius in na.
P.S - sorry for the grammar
