So, I am an experienced Darius player looking for ways to improve my game play and guide I started on lolking.

I was wondering if anyone had any useful knowledge as to play Darius effectively? Certain tips, tricks, and plans to use as Darius. Let me know what you also think of my guide, thank you!
Well I'm not Plat so I admittedly don't have as much experience as you, but I do play Darius a fair bit so I think I can speak to this.
Personally, I'm not a fan 
on bruisers (I also despise Maw). On more damage-y top laners like 
, etc--sure; it's fine. I greatly prefer 
.
Although 
is amazing, I'm not sure Darius needs the extra ar.pen (although the ms boost is really nice).
I'd also include a 
somewhere on your guide. Helps with the kiting and actually allows Darius to have a semi-decent initiation.
My final build usually looks like this: 
Just type in google: darius JOIN THE NBA TODAY, great guide how to dominate with this guy.
I never considered righteous glory, that might be worth trying out.
I will also check out that guide, thanks guys!
Hello. I'd like to give you some tips. First of all do not use ignite or exhaust in these matchups:
Take teleport instead. Early camp wolves/raptors + 4 heath pot/2 mana pots. Try to out trade him with level advantage. Use your 
to turn your laning power spike into strong ganks. Your core build: 
(1 successful gank to bot lane and you got +45-50 damage with occult) . Renekton doesnt outscale you that hard as Nasus or Cho'Gath so you don't have to use 
the same. You should understand that her level 6 powerspike is way bigger than yours. She can burst you down faster. 
won't help. Good Riven is able to engage and disengage. Bait you to waste Decimate. All you have to do is sticking behind creeps, try to outpush and catch her when she's going to waste her Q dash. Smart Riven doesn't use Ignite. Always teleport. You can't beat early health potion + exp advantage.
I don't get it. What's the problem? Take Doran's shield, early camp (wolves/raptors), masteries to block AA damage. Use MS runes and rush early phage and Ninja Tabi. She won't even hurt you after that. Also don't forget about your E. Too easy to prevent her escape with net by timing her ability cast.Fine. I guess there's nothing to say more about matchups. As for me there're very rare champions which really "hard" to play against. For example: 
P.S Really. Use MS quints. They're too important for Darius. Don't forget Alacrity upgrade on your boots. (I'm Darius main. Diamond IV. Playing with him since release. Check out stats/matchhistory or smth to make sure)
