What are Darius’s Weaknesses

After the Darius buffs and the release of conquerer it seems like there is no way for me to win in such an impressive lane. Every time I play against him I feel like I have lost lane from champ select no matter my champion. Even the champs that have positive winrate on him, he still has the better lane kill rate. You’d think with of how oppressive of a laner he is he would have a weak spot in the game, but I really don’t see it. Come late game, he deletes your squishy champions no matter how far behind he is. I try to just stay back and farm, but he has endless tools to get close, get his damage off, and watch me bleed to death including an aoe displace, MASSIVE auto attack reset and slow, easy access to phage passive, and healing just in case god forbid you are able to fight back.

I’d love to say that this is a salt thread because I lost one game against Darius but I legitimately need help. An enemy Darius is an instant loss for me, every single time.

Honestly? Gonna sound weird but I do well against darius as alistar top. I main him support and play him top/ jungle when I get them sometimes haven't really played against darius as alistar top since conquerer has been a thing though but it went well before then.

Why it works? Dunno :p maybe because alistars burst damage is better early on long as you get your full combos off plus if you see darius go to q you just w q him so you are inside of his q and don't get passive stack plus reduced damage from being hit by the hilt.

Main goal is to never let him hit you with his blade on q. I usually rush titanic hydra top followed by a rylai for the slow then get tanky. Was using lethal tempo as primary rune although lately ive been trying press the attack and liking it but idk which is better.

I also start off with corrupting potion every time but yea give him a few full combos and he should be dead.

So i imagine lots of people who can manage to stay ontop of him to avoid his outside of q will do well maybe someone like rekenton/ riven but idk. Plus he only gets the heal if he hits you with the blade so anyone who can outburst him early game i suppose that can quickly get inside of his q.
