@MEDDLER, so you want to make Darius viable? Here is how, for free, implement it in the next patch!

Implement the following changes and Darius will be viable, also hire me for your balancing team because you guys are clueless when it comes to balance of Melee vs Ranged (League is ranged dominated, I wonder if "Ghostcrawler" has anything to do with it :^)... oh wait, he does, he was the one who ruined WoW PvP).

1. Move the passive from his E to his W.

2. Add a new passive to his E: PASSIVE: Darius gains X% movement speed increase when moving towards enemy champions, if Darius takes ranged damage from enemy champions, this movement speed increase bonus is doubled. The value of the X% scales with lvls.

At what levels the X% increases is up for you to decide. This gives Darius a fair chance to do something in team fights, instead of being a useless sitting duck. He can't use it as an escape, It also gives a lot of counter play options to his enemies. With the current high dash/blink mobility champs in the game, I don't think this is much to ask, is it? It still keeps Darius in line with the vision a rioter said they had for him: To run up to targets and be fairly immobile.
