Challenger Darius Mains: Do they exist?

I've recently gotten into an argument online with someone where the point of contention eventually turned to whether or not there are any 1 trick Darius mains specifically in Challenger. Now, I know that Darius is certainly PLAYED in Diamond+ when he happens to be meta (If I recall he was even played quite a bit in the season 5 LCS), but I was always told that players above Platinum (Hell, probably players IN Platinum as well) were too well adept at exploiting Darius's weakness to kiting and limited utility when behind for him to be consistently viable in those higher elos. However, I'm well aware that I could be wrong.

So am I?

There is a One Trick for just about every champ in this game. And they exist at all levels.

Here's a Master Darius one trick, which should end the argument.

Also, I'm a Diamond OTP Morde main whom is arguable more kiteable than Darius. As previous posts have said, you'll find every champ everywhere. The exception seems to be competitive ranked 5's.

AdziOo.

The king of Noxian might. He is or at the very least was, challenger with 300+LP. He has over 1,000,000 darius mastery points.

EDIT

Research shows that he was challenger for a good half of season 6, currently sitting at masters 1 right now though.

Yeah, I suppose Master is good enough. He hasn't really been adding onto the argument anyway. Still, it's nice to know that my main CAN be played in Diamond+ even out of meta.
