Darius needs a tweak/buff

Pre s5(5.20 update) Darius was pretty much my favorite top. I think we should revert that nerf, because he is so unreliable right now. At level 1, for example, Graves top can easily duel him in melee range, without leaving his range(because he has passive defensive steroid). Tahm Kench and Riven can just pop their shields, Garen can just use W. Trundle's AD debuff(and auto cancel from Q) literally shits on him. Darius's kit forces him to play aggresively early game, yet he lacks the(base stats? early duelling power?) to do so. What i mean is, Darius has completely lost his touch as a lane bully, and is WAY too item reliant right now. And with towers being so weak at this "meta", he can be easily dived by a top lane who has only snowballed from one kill and just pop his shield to literally make that tower useless while devouring him and licking him to oblivion. Darius should continue being a lane bully as opposed to late game "hypercarry". He is definitely not a late carry - while it is true that he has true damage(pun intended), lack of base AS and AS growth stat/steroid doesnt let him itemize properly for late game. And his kit is MEANT to have early power - just look, his bleed passive which can stack up to 5 times(hell, it is even called "noxian MIGHT"), his Q is AoE push/damage with heal for sustaining other tops, his W is an auto reset with a slow basically that stalls their escape; E is an AoE pull ability to stop enemies from running; and R is an execute. His kit is meant for playing very aggressive 1-6. So RIOT please reconsider the playstyle of this champion, because he is clearly not a tower-hugging farmer like , but he just cannot be a lane bully because he gets outtanked and outdamaged.
