How to counter Darius.
You can't.
You can't.

U Wot M8

An explanation would be nice
I don't really play Ekko or Kayle much, but theres pretty much nothing Darius can do to Jayce; any attempt by Darius to commit to a fight will just result in him getting smacked away, and because he doesn't have a second gapcloser; he won't be able to reach Jayce a second time. Acceleration Gate also makes it easier to kite Darius with Cannon form.
Shock Blast also hurts no matter who you are really.
Darius is terrible against ranged champions due to his like of mobility low E range and meh base tankiness. Jayce and Kayle have this. Kayle can ult when Darius ults, Jayce can knock Darius back if he gets pulled in. Darius can't get into an extended trade with Ekko without worrying about his ult.
The banning phase.
Just going to repost one of my older posts.

Fiora is super fast and her dash lets her kite around his q and vitals give her ms/heal to let her out trade him and use the MS to also get out of his q also kind of hard to beat her in an all in around 6 as darius.
Riven can constantly e away from your q or e into you to deny the heal and she is all good all in potential throughout most of the game.
Garen trades very well vs darius and since bleed is physical garen's match up vs darius is actually skewed towards garen now since you can start cloth with bleed being physical and all, also your lvl 6 all in is stronger than darius generally since you'll kill him very fast with your % hp execute before he can use his healing to an advantage.
Irelia can get favorable trades with her stun and minion aggro while dodging your edged q with her dash towards a minion or yourself while having a bit of sustain herself for fights.

Lots of ranged CC and can kite him super hard while having low mana costs(energy)
is a safe choice but he won't really beat darius just outscale his team fighting
As a Darius main, having a bunch of games played with the new darius probably the only lane that can fuck up darius really hard is Jayce. I went equal or won in any other matchup.
Engage... Kite... Engage... Kite... Don't stand there and melee him. simple.
