Tips Against Darius in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
ARTHEO says “Darius' passive makes it easy for him to run down any champion so making trades with him can be challenging. At most times, you want to all in with everything you got or make small trades after he uses his Q or E.”
0
Racz says “Very strong this patch, one of the best top laner. Always dodge his Q, you can E towards him to dodge the sweet spot. He cancels your taunt with his E.”
0
CosmicTurtle88 says “Trivially easy, don't trade super hard first couple of levels because his sustain is insane, but after that you can just all in if he's pushed up and run him down. Try and eat him if you're
getting hit by Q so you're both CC'd, but really just GHOST and dodge his Q's with it ”

Akidne21 says “Darius can deal you so much damage if he attracts you with his E, and after stacking 5 times his passive on you he can kill you with his ult”

Farmer Cleetus says “Can be countered with easy W. Still be careful when he has his stacks on you.”

Inoks says “Dshield/Bone plating is a must here. Darius is a very interesting matchup because you always have to be in the correct position against him, since if you miss position just a little you can be punished very hard. If you E Q too far in the lane he can pop ghost and run you down and kill you. try to Q him from max range and don't get hit by his E and you should be able to win this matchup. Tier 2 armor boots are really good here. Anti heal is a good option too.”
0
Tentacle Pinkman says “skiled matchup, easy after lvl 6, play fully defensive till than, his early game is really strong”

TENTAKILL ILLAOY says “Дариус очень странный матчап. Либо вы его ломаете и он крип всю игру, либо вы 1 раз умираете и уже вы крип. Фармите своей Q и делайте заморозку под своей вышкой с двумя щупальцами. Поукайте E, если Дариус идет в олын со своей E, то вы либо убиваете его, либо сами уже мертвы.”
0
Maxpiku says “Достаточно легкий матчап. Берем ботинки стремительности и кайфуем, при нашей грамотной игре добраться до нас ему будет физически невозможно ,разве что потратив флеш/гост. Наша Q блочит его W, во время драк нужно заходить в радиус рукояти его Q ,грибы используем для укрепления позиции и побега от инициации. Если не уверен в себе то возьми флит футворк / фэйз раш.”

ShadowStealer94 says “Darius will easily kill you if you are not careful. take ignite and try to play safe until your jungle can help you.”

Taiquyorah says “MU à "l'avantage" de GP puisque le Q de GP out-range très légèrement le E de Darius mais comme Darius se joue avec Gosht, s'il joue de manière intelligente il attends d'être en range et il vous all in et gagne.
Cependant, s'il loupe son E, vous pouvez l'engage pour un trade, mais faites attention que son gosht soit sur CD et d'esquiver l'extrémité de son Q.
Je vous conseille de l'entamer avec un combo de barils ou plusieurs avant d'essayer de le tuer.”

NegativePhoenix says “Doesn't matter if you build tanky or AP, this lane will be a Cho'Gaths worst nightmare at all stages of the game. You can't do much without him punishing you for it. You don't have any real defense or escape so don't fight him early unless you poked him down enough that you can kill him or you're close to tower to feel safe. Just do your best to poke him down for your jungler early or for yourself if you can and use your Q or W for disengage or in team fights against him so that he can't do much in team fights. If he's silenced or knocked in the air he can't heal or ult.”

Nino_euw says “Those champions you might struggle with a bit at first, but once you really respect his entire kit, he's no threat to you, your E is too strong against this type of champion.”

Yiphen says “Jungle Diff. You can get Grasp Procs by AA'ing him whenever he goes in to kill a minion. You NEED to Q into him when he Q's or else his healing gets insane. Use your Ult when he Ults you. Freeze wave near tower. Do not dance.”

HelloStranger says “CONQ | Flash + Ignite
High Intensity matchup. You really need to focus in this matchup as both of you will usually be around the same skill gap. This is a matchup of who makes the first mistake. You do not win until lvl 6 and even then if you make one wrong move you can kiss Darius's sweet axe in death. Later into the game you should be able to beat him but its honestly up to the skill gap of the both of you. Whoever is the better player will generally win.”
0
WildSamu says “DBlade + Red Pot.
This matchup is unwinnable until Shieldbow.
If he gets 5 stacks on you, you are fried.
Do your best to not let him freeze, stay in xp range and drop farm if necessary.
Take short trades and try to dodge his Q with your E.
He's difficult to gank because he has the potential to 1v2, if he does, your lane is over.”
0
wooverbo says “The only way you're killing him in a 1v1 is if he doesn't know about his passive triggering turret aggro and lets you swallow him to your turret while you're bleeding. He can snowball out of control if you're not careful.”

PENTAKILL LETS GO says “if you are mechanically weak he will win, otherwise you can destroy him by dodging his Q with E or cancel Q & E/hook with your W.
In any way, try not to hang a fight too long, you will probably lose since his blood hurts' stacks does a lot of damages and he can execute you easily with a ton of true damages.”

Black Demon Ezel says “The first extreme threat on here is not a pretty one. Darius hella powerful bleeding damage can completely offset your Omnivamp, I know this because I've seen Hashinshin lose hard to him. I have only one option to give you. DO. NOT. FIGHT. HIM!!!”

7EyesNoSkills says “He can E+W you and you cant escape. Try to dodge his E if that is possible, if he can E you, and you got and exhaust, use it ASAP and dodge his Q and don't let him heal himself. If you are slowed, don't move and just attack while his damage reduced with your exhaust.”

DIOSAAA says “If he starts W, take W, if he starts Q get your E lvl 1. You should be fine this way. After lvl 1 never Dash on him unless he is using Q to weaken his damage out-put. You can also Dash when is E is on cooldown for a free trade in your favor.

DimitriLSD123 says “You can trade consistently and you scale harder than him be carful tho ”

VituVonDoom says “You counter him in the early, mid, and late game, while also scaling 10X better than him. Whenever he wastes his E, Hammer combo and run away after, always keep your trades very short. Go Phase rush page, even ghost will not be enough to get you, and it makes short trades very easy to pull off. Whenever he Q's, Hammer Q to get in the inner circle, and E him when you are sure he won't be able yo pull you back.”

Saud Almutairi says “Skilled matchup and its one of my favorite matchups . lvl 1 with D blade and approach velocity you can win if u land every Q , if u miss one then play back . lvl 2 is the same but not only land Q's but position them well with auto attacks . lvl 3 he wins HARD mainly because of his W and E , a trick u can do lvl 3 is when he E's u , u can time your Q where if he E's u q and then his E will make u pick up your own axe which sets up the next q but because he is lvl 3 with ghost he can win . lvl 6 u HARD win just buy CDR boots and its free just hit all Q's and he is doomed . in a 1v1 he doesnt outscale you like others think its just lvl 11 to lvl 16 dont let him land a Q on you when u R u have to stick in his face . go ghost flash or ghost ignite or flash ignite all works against him .”

HalexUwU says “If you can dodge his pull, this matchup is very easy. Take ghost since he can, and likely will run you down. Consider using phase rush.”

Michcio says “You can kite him turbo hard. If he uses Q stick to him. If ure new gp player u will struggle a lot but after few matches and learning how to zone him so he wont hit his E you should stomp him like shit”

xSamuraii says “Take Bone Plating and Doran's Shield. W if he gets close and/or pulls you with his E. If he uses his Q, taunt him with E to pull him in and avoid the blade damage. After level 6 he outscales you pretty hard, so don't fight him without your team. Avoid long trades.”
0
NegativePhoenix says “Do not ever, and I mean NEVER get into prologned fights with Darius at early levels . Even level 1, he still has a decent change to beat you simply due to his passive. Try to poke him down and be careful of his pull as that's your signal he's going for an all in. Try to at least stay in his inner Q circle so he can't heal or get another bleed stack from his passive and be god careful of his ult as it will just execute you at half health. Mid-Late game if you can get some help and avoid his initial pull+Q bleed you have a good winning shot.”

AngySnek says “one of the few Swain can kite around. Generally not a big problem late game either”

Baby Sona says “Mordekaiser is the kind of champ that fights a long battle but wins it, so is Darius too. His kit is just more op than yours. Play passive at the very start of the game. Play around his passive stacks and do short trades with him when you get the chance. If he manages to pull you, dodge his Q and and don't let him get 5 passive stacks. Call your Jungler for help and try to be more useful later on in the game.”

Aberrant Demon says “Avoid the outer part of his Q because it does extra damage and applies a bleed stack. Using your Q helps to get inside of the Q or walk out of the range. You generally want to avoid using your Q on him unless you can Proc Phase AND his pull is down. Of course, this only applies if you can't win the all-in. Avoid getting into his hook range if possible. If you can't, respond with E and W before it connects. Afterwards, auto, Q to proc Phase Rush and hopefully remove his W slow. Try to keep the wave on your side as much as possible or he will all-in you with his Ghost. After level 6, you can look for short trades before going for an all-in. Just make sure he doesn't have to time to get 5 stacks and dunk you before you get your Ult off. Worst case scenario, you can look to Flash his Q so it doesn't get the bleed stack. Once you have Stridebreaker, the matchup becomes much easier.”

TrinityForceYasuo says “If he knows how to play Darius he will not give you breathing room to do anything -> Level 1-2 let him push to you, freeze -> Stack up Q3 and go in with E+Q3 -> Let him use an ability or 2 of them wave (Q OR E) -> Can use your E to deny his E by going on the side if you can predict or just go back to your E to ''cancel'' his E -> Can use E to dash next to him when he is using Q to not give him a stack/ not get full Q damage and heal -> Need small trades that will build up into an all in -> Can cancel his R with your E if you time it -> Kraken is recommended here -> DO NOT allow him to get his 5 stacks”

Boptimus says “I actually haven't played this match up in about 2 years. Darius for the longest time has been my perma-ban as I like to keep the option for picking Sion open.
Recently I've been switching to Tahm/Sett bans in Masters+ because Darius' pickrate has fallen off over the years and Sett/Tahm lanes are extremely toxic and unplayable.
I'll revisit this after I've played this match up.”

xZugas says “[Recommended: Phase Rush, Any Build] So, let's be honest: you're fucked against this guy. You can't do much with any build, as you're fighting against HIS terms, not yours. Overall, this champion is ban worthy, I recommend trying to farm and not die, and roam to other lanes to search for kills. Phase Rush helps you to reduce the amount of slow both E and W gives.”

MAD GAREN says “PT-BR- Darius entra nesse guia por que muitos jogadores não sem jogar contra. Garen nessa match vai de Ghost para acompanhar o Darius, Garen tem pressão de kill lvl 3 já, porém a dica de ouro é não levar o Q e sempre ir pro ''in fight" com o Darius, de perto o Garen sempre leva a melhor, sempre evitar trocar quando o Darius puxar e quando ele acertar o Q.
ENG - Darius enters this guide because many players don't play against. Garen in this match goes from Ghost to accompany Darius, Garen has lvl 3 kill pressure already, but the golden tip is not to take the Q and always go to the ''in fight" with Darius, at close range Garen always takes the better, always avoid switching when Darius draws and when he hits the Q.”

queen_rane says “[Ignite + Flash] Start Dorans ring because the dorans shield isnt really going to help you because Darius doesn't poke, he just all ins and the Doran's ring will help you win the all in. You can farm with Q during the early game and let him push into you. You become more useful than him later in the game and you actually beat him in an all in at level 6 - especially if you have ignite. Just try not to get poked down by his Q and don't stand too close to him or he will slow you with his W and chase you down.”

FlayMan says “Darius is just to slow to deal with you. All you have to do is play extra safe pre 6, and then go in with r when the time is right. Avoid his e and q and they can turn a fight. Essentially, just wait for level 6 powerspike and then run him down.”

Federals1 says “This is a very skill based matchup. A good Darius can beat a Volibear with relative ease, but Volibear can do the same to Darius. Do not try to fight him level 1. Take e and farm from a distance. Same goes for level 2. At level 3 you can beat him but you need to dodge his q with yours. Volibear q is a very slight lunge, meaning you will get into his small circle if you time it properly. Do not let him free stack you, especially at 6. Even one stack before an all out fight can be horrible and lose you the 1v1 hard. However Volibear can also hard win the 1v1 at 6. Your ultimate can dodge his e, effeictively removing him as a threat, but it needs to be timed well. He wins 1v1 late game unless you go for a very specific bruiser build. Black Cleaver and Divine Sunderer are a must if you want to beat him. Ignite+Flash is the proper combination into him if you want to pressure him.”

Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
If you want to play for late game take Dshield and second wind and poke him. But as we all know, fighting is more fun, so rush Steelcaps and take ignite + Celerity and Nimbus Cloak, then destroy him.
Always dodge his Q since It will still heal him even if you parry it, try to Q into him to dodge It, you can try to parry his E or his W or after lvl 6 his R. Look for small trades in early and even ask jgl for ganks. You outscale him.

Esquiva su Q ya que le curará aunque la ripostees, para esquivarla lanza tu Q hacia él, puedes intentar ripostear su E o su W y después de lvl 6 su R. Haz trades cortos en early e incluso pídele ganks al jungla. También le outscaleas.”

alexionut05 says “Bad matchup for Poppy. You simply will not defeat him early game, and you shouldn't even attempt it. Invest in a Bramble Vest and try to be more useful to your team in other ways. He scales off pretty poorly so use that to your advantage. Trade with him whenever he misses E, and dash into him when he tries to heal up with Q.”

gazibulle says “One of the hardest matchup. You outscale him. If Darius starts Q, you can contest him with Q start as long as you don't get hit by the outer thing so he doesn't regen. If he starts W, just farm with W, DON'T FIGHT him. It's easier if he starts Dblade as you can poke him with W. If he grabs you when you W him, Q for a shield which will block his Q damage then E out, and eventually if you have only 2 stacks and is quite close to your tower you can go onto him again, but be very cautious. Keep in mind that Darius is a stud, he is really immobile and therefore very vulnerable to ganks. Try not to get poked by his Q in lane, and if he ever misses you can go for a quick W-Q-Q trade. NEVER E out, as Darius will just E you and cancel you E then run you down. At lvl 6 you can try to juke his grab by Eing on a wall and waiting for him to E. If you succeed, then you can all-in him as long as you hit your E and then R his Q. Darius isn't good at extreme melee range, where he cannot hit his outer Q. Ignite / TP makes all-in easier, but makes you more vulnerable against his no counterplay run down with Ghost, so be aware of what you choose.”
0
Anothaoneforym6 says “If he you messed up or he killed you pre level 3 and has snowballed he will be a major threat until you poke him down enough. Dont ever let him hit you with Q as otherwise he has no sustain and is vulnerable to E. Always take phase rush into darius and try to E every time he pulls you. Once pulled if you managed to proc E as your being pulled, quickly auto Q or W Q.”

Shewapa Dapa says “When he tries to Q, just jump onto him and run away

MHLoppy says “Once you've poked him down with a few Qs you can win any decent all-in with margin to spare. Miss-stepping can be lethal if you're not ready to fight though, so mind his E's range. Be a bit more respecful if Darius is running 2 lane summoners (e.g. Flash + Ghost or Flash + Ignite), since the matchup is a lot harder from behind.”

Aphelios4ever says “If you do not get hooked by his E you are fine to just lane normally and bully. The reason why he is difficult is bacause if you fight him at level 6 with your red white gun it is very close and you have to play it very well so you can outplay him with your coombo + barrier if you want to fight him and get ahead through outplaying him.”

LimitlessHavoc says “You can hard win level 1 with Q extension and breaking his bone plating with 3rd Q however this is a bit of a coinflip. I prefer to just wait for level 3, short trade continuously and eventually all in with ignite. If the Darius respects me level 1 I will instead play for level 2 advantage and then proceed to bully him with it.
He can disrupt your all in and even cancel your 3rd Q with his pull/E, to avoid this Q dance through him to make him miss.
Don't get hit by the outer part of his Q.
Don't all in if you have several stacks of his passive on you.
He is very susceptible to ganks.”

Potent213 says “There are two ways of playing this matchup
Either you go D Shield + Second wind and you hard play for scaling and short trades (works really well with his passive as you constantly refresh it and have insane healing).
Early tabis save lives in this matchup due to his power to rundown especially with ghost.
The other option in this lane is to go sorcery with celerity and nimbus cloak, you also take ignite and look to cheese him with an all in and run him down with ignite.
Both options are viable, depends on playstyle.
Avoid parrying his Q due to it still healing him, if you can parry AA + W you basically insta won.
Care when using Q as he can grab you mid Q to make it go on a long cooldown.
Level 6 you can use parry on his ultimate to completely block his execute, though they can use E into R making it impossible to parry due to the CC.
In early levels you want to look for poke and small trades with parry, parrying his W is insane and makes him lose so much damage and basically wins the trade for you.
Call jungler for help as Darius has terrible mobility and options to survive a gank.
If you respect him, you can outscale him and even kill him with the cheese build.”

ChowJunior says “Don't misstep. You can rival Darius' early game. Stay on top of him during fights. Use your Q when he uses his, because Voli will sort of "jump" when casting it so it provides a good method of dodging that outer part of his Q.”
0
Mushroomuwu says “Avoid fighting him at lvl 1 since you won’t have passive, start e and let him push you in. E him after he autos you so that your creeps target him. Once it pushes to tower stack your passive and look for fights, especially since it will be pushing back and you will have exp advantage over him. Don’t be afraid to fight him even if he looks spooky. Make sure he has no boneplating before all-inning him and land your E before you go in AND make sure you have passive. Save your last Q for his Q, spam your Q when they pull you if they are charging his Q. If you don’t get hit by his outer Q you will typically win, same goes later levels however I would avoid fighting him after 3 items if you are not ahead of him since it will take you too long to kill him and he will get his passive.

Rodos says “Darius. I couldnt let him outside this list. Darius can be either your biggest counter, either your easiest enemy. By that i mean that depends on both of you how good you know the champ and your playstyle. Personally, because i main darius too i have beaten almost every illaoi i had in any games. And the opposite. With illaoi i have beaten almost every darius main. Most of you wont care about this but i want to point out the specific strategy. Play safe. Farm with your Q. Try to hit as many E as you can from a distance so you dont risk to lose any of your hp. Because you playing one of the strongest champions doesnt mean you have to be greedy. Be calm, safe and everything will happen the way you want them to happen. In conclusion if you move smart you can smash darius before level 6 and after. Mostly after level 6 because he has good trades. And the reason is his passive of course. Even if he kills you 1 or 2 times you can turn around the game against him!”

Your Desired Username says “Skill match-up. Be careful in the early levels, he will be playing very aggressive and if he does catch you, you're probably dead. Ignite makes this lane way more playable, as long as you hit your stuff. Personally though, i still like to play rather safe in the early levels, even if I took ignite, as this guy can seriously snowball out of control. Poke him a lot in laning phase, but make sure to stay out of his e range so you don't get forced into an early all-in, which will most likely go his way. If you're not crazy ahead, rush bramble, add steelcaps if you fell behind. Post-6 is where you start being able to kill him. His only means of sustaining hp in a fight this early into the game is his q, which will be counteracted by your ignite or bramble if it's not up. If both Darius and Mordekaiser hit everything in Brazil, Mordekasier will win, but hitting your abilities can be hard when he is zooming around with ghost, so make sure you flash to hit a Q you would have otherwise missed. Another thing to note is, that if you're feeling as though a particular 1v1 with him isn't quite going your way, you have the option to flash INSIDE of him the next time he uses q, as to deny him a passive stack, damage and crucial healing. Killing him might become difficult later into the game when he starts stacking resistances, health and shields, and he kind of comes back into the game so unless you don't have a choice it might be wiser to ult a more "available" target.”

boboderaffe says “Most Darius players run Ghost which means they have to kill you or push you under tower in order for them to get a decent back.
Be careful of using your E+Passive on him without creating distance between the two of you. Otherwise he can pull you in and easily kill you.
If you can't create distance, don't use your passive. Simply W on top of him. Most Darius players will use their E anyway, expecting your passive. That gives you an opportunity to trade or even kill him.”

BreadedBreadCrum says “Darius is a major threat for a lot of top laners. Braum is a little different as he can block early combos from Darius like E-W-Q and block his R if you time it right. Still, his bleed and sustain is annoying. Buy Bramble into BoRK or Frostfire. Grasp.”

If he's still trying to fight after that ignite and kill him.”

Try to get Darius to waste his pull and SAVE YOUR E when he goes to wind up his axe. Use the E to go into him so he deals less damage and you can immediately start stacking lethal Tempo. DO NOT FIGHT HIM AT 1, YOU WILL LOSE. Try to focus on freezing nearby your turret and wait for his CD's.”

LOW Econ: Goredrinker, Stasis (W max)
Strengths: STATBALL, anti-dive, dueling, sustained damage
Weaknesses: Easily kited, Darius players are inflated, telegraphed aggression = gankable, usually doesn't take ignite
Since ~12.5: Everyone is taking ignite, which gives them FAR BETTER duel potential into Rengar, what sucks with this currently is the jg meta being full clear > coinflip burger boy bottom lane.
||||Tempo + HP Bruiser||||
Ignite + Teleport will help with this match-up a lot, as Darius never goes Teleport so you can abuse your 2nd health bar after an all-in/he uses Ghost + Flash for a kill.
vs Darius, remember to 4W his E so he does not get to abuse you with his full stacks instantly.
4E is also great, since usually he will set you up so he can ghost, then all-in. SHORT trades are preferred but in general you lose the all-ins if both have equal HP etc.
Ignite him when he is Qing at low HP, and abuse the fact that all Darius players are boosted monkeys :^]
Edge of Night is decent into him, as it disallows him from RUINING your jumps with E.
Stasis helps in ARAM teamfight games vs Darius, ]]]while Hullbreaker slows his offense when forced to split.[[[ Nerfed FeelsBadMan
Max: Q > W > E, W > E > Q when losing
In general 4E will be better than 4Q in most "trades" since he has all-in potential and we don't.”

LunaticDancer says “Gambler, D Shield. Very easy match up as long as you don't get cheesed levels 1-3. The key is to not stay close and personal with him through the whole fight (so he doesn't stack passive).

COJA says “Darius makes it extremely difficult to escape or reposition during a fight. His Q healing can negate your damage in an all in, his W slows massively and allows him to chase, and his E can pull you in when you just wanted to tap him with your Q. He is extremely dangerous to trade with. You may have to give up several minions early on even if you are full hp. Do not ever even consider walking close to him while your Q is on cooldown.”

After level 6 you can start to poke him a bit with your Radiant Blast following by some Auto-Attack, but pay attention, if he come too much closer, he will surely kill you in less time that you can think!!! If you dodge his pull you will can try to Harass him a bit, but stay always out of range from his Healing Circle or it will be all useless.”

XxDarkMEGAxX says “Hard Counter to Zac Top. His cooldowns are faster than yours and his passive bleeds you out. Zac's trades take a long time during which he heals back up.

Prof Harambe says “Darius can go either way. Darius absolutely destroys you if he has ghost up, however even if he kills you, you can tp back to lane and not really miss anything.

ToothlessKnight says “Ban Darius. You do outscale him into the mid/late game but you will have a very rough time against a good Darius.

_WhiteSnow_ says “Even though darius has gotten much weaker after his nerfs, he is still a difficult mathup. Either go Flash/Ignite and play to beat him pre-6 with conq, or just build gore/steraks and play for teamfights.
Stay out of his outer q and do NOT fight him if he hits 5 stacks unless you have no other choice or its a won fight.”

xPetu says “Tips: NEVER E in if he has E up. Take short trades and don't give him 5 stacks of passive. Predict his Q-(Stridebreaker)-Flash when you're low HP and E/Flash towards him to dodge Q sweet spot.”

I Am Goliath says “#1 - Start D Blade/PTA/Boneplating/Overgrowth (D shield is an option if you struggle with this lane)
#2 - Ignite is an option in this lane, it gives you kill pressure at level 6 with your grinder, it also allows you to break freezes against Darius and fight while being pushed up in the lane even if he has ghost up.
#3 - Play around his Q and don't let him hit outer Q as it will heal him.
#4 - You can buffer his E pull so you don't take bad trades, just E right before he pulls you in.
#5 - lane is really hard vs Darius but you outscale him at level 9+ so try not to feed early even if you have to give up some farm, in general I don't use E aggressively very much vs darius unless I'm going for a kill with grinder or my jungle is ganking.”

Anoying bro5 says “You can take ignite into this matchup as Darius doesnt take teleport 90% of the time. I would suggest getting used to taking teleport as the summoner is much better. Dont look to take too long of trades as his bleed does massive damage and heals him. Look to Q inside of his Q so he doesnt heal or get a bleed stack. Pre lvl 6 look to riposte his w, after lvl 6 riposte his ult.”
0
PH45 says “Pretty much one of the hardest lanes, if you get caught in his pull you are pretty much dead due to you not having any escape abilities. Keep your distance, farm with Q and stick to staying under tower.
Darius is pretty gankable though so if your jungler comes you might score a kill, just remember Darius has 1v2 potential due to his Q heal so stay out of the outer ring.”

Stinkee says “Avoid picking Sion into Darius. This has been one of Sion's hardest matchups since the rework. It's not impossible to win this matchup though. Try to freeze your lane and look for when he tries to pull you and dodge it. You can win short trades with the help of your W but watch out for his all-in.
Take Grasp of the Undying or Glacial Augment and put 3 points in W first then max Q. 3 points in W is great here because it gives you enough shield to win short trades and burst him with the shield damage.
Sion's shield can be his highest damage ability, don't be afraid to use it offensively in many cases. Rush armor and health and ask for ganks. Darius is easy to gank because he has no mobility outside of summoner spells and you should be freezing your lane.
Be careful to not let Darius land everything on you and your jungler and win the 1v2.”

Sovereign Kitten says “I would highly suggest you to take an PTA or Lethal Tempo. That is, if you feel uncomfortable playing against him with any other runes, like Aery, DH or Electrocute. Boots will help you early game due to his +10 higher movement speed along with a few points in your (W) which complements PTA/Lethal Tempo. Otherwise feel free to start with Doran's Ring. Move towards him if he is going to land his (Q) spin so you can prevent a bleed stack & blind his (W) to prevent his slow. Regardless of what you think, this match-up goes either way. You either kite and avoid his pull or get caught and die. Stridebreaker really sucks to get caught by so respect it and keep your distance.”

BoilTheOil says “In order to win this lane you have to play perfect, if you fuckup once he kills you. E when he uses his Q so you can deny him from hitting you with the outer part. If you're level 6 and he tries to Q again you ult him and he can't hit you with the outer part. Don't use W until he gets full stacks on you so you can block the most damage possible, and if he's level 6 block his ultimate with your W. Never waste W, if you do his veins will start popping and his ghost will activate then he'll run you down. If he starts focusing somebody other than you in teamfights ult him away so he can't get 5 stacks on them. ”

Phrxshn says “One of Singed hardest match-up. You will definitely need to mirror his Summoner's Spell(Flash/Ghost). Decimate(Q) needs to be dodged or juked out, but if you can't go to his handle of his Axe as it does not apply Hemmorhage nor heal him. Fight him after he casts his Crippling Strike(W) and duration goes away. Save your fling for his Apprehend(E), let him use his (E) first then fling. Avoid fighting him with 5 stacks of Hemorrhage. Use your Mega Adhesive to prevent him from casting his Noxian Guillotine(R). (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Darius) (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter) (Mega Adhesive stops his R) (Outscaling Edge: Singed) ”

Feedaboi says “has high base dmg, need to be careful for his passive stacks, look for short trades and poke him out with q. Look to free the wave near your turret and setup ganks for your jg. Use your e on top of darius when he channels his q so he cant heal.”
0
King Turtle says “He's good at guarding wave and zoning you out, so farming may be hard. One big tip I've found works a lot is dashing INTO darius instead of away. His Q does less damage the closer you are to darius and he doesn't get healing in the center, so if you dash into him you negate his healing, lessen his damage, and you can still all in him instead of dashing out and getting nothing out of him misplaying his Q.”

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Darius is difficult because you'll never be able to fight him after lvl 2 (assuming he levels his E. If he doesn't then lvl 3), regardless of your build or how ahead you are. His stats are better than yours, his pull is difficult to dodge (and gives armor pen), his Q allows him to potentially survive dives, and he'll zone you off of cs 24/7. While you do outrange him you can only poke very early on (lvl 1-2) and when his E is down. Still, he can Q in the middle of your auto and win the trade.
This matchup is a 5 if he takes ghost and a 4 if he does not. He's never worth a ban because he's not Fiora and can be shut down with crowd control.”

Veng Shotz says “Phase rush effectively counters his entire kit, even if you get pulled after proccing phase you can just walk right out of his range.
if he pulls you, you can insta proc phase and walk out on an even trade.”

quinn adc says “Darius wins the matchup in close range, so the purpose of phase rush/glacial is to able to kite Darius and out run him.
Level 1 BE CAREFUL! Most Darius players run ghost AND/OR phase rush.
Be attentive and make sure to see what he is running before the game starts.
If he has Ghost/Phase Rush, be cautious level 1.
Wait for Darius to use an ability level 1 to see what he starts because some cheese Darius players will start E and run you down with ghost level 1 after you use your vault.
Otherwise, if he starts Q, you can trade aggressively level 1 with your Vault.
TIP! If you E Darius when he's chanelling his Q, which has a 0.75 delay, your vault pushes you out of perfect distance so that his Q damage won't hit you at all if timed correctly .
Level 2 onwards BE CAREFUL and only use your Vault AFTER Darius uses his pull.
If he wastes his pull, be free to vault him if their jungler isn't top because he has no gap closer otherwise & his E has a 24 sec cooldown level 1, which is double your vault cooldown of 12 seconds.
Trade Darius in lane with AAs and your Q Blind + AA in lane whenever possible because Darius can't retaliate unless he's trying to all-in you, which allows you to get him low in lane.
If Darius uses Ghost, you can pop ignite for nimbus to act as a mini ghost.
This trade is worth it for you becasue ignite is 30 seconds shorter CD than ghost is.
If he pulls you, instantly press vault to push you to safety and the key is not to hesitate.
NOTE: Good Darius players will instantly run behind you when he pulls you, and if he's fast enough, you will vault in the opposite direction away from your tower, so be careful of that.
Glacial is my favourite for this matchup because slows directly counter Darius's ghost and his potential to all-in you, so this is the one matchup I prefer glacial into, even in season 11.”

Amphawn says “Due to stridebreaker no longer having a dash, you can just stay out of his E range and you'll be fine. Don't trade with him early as he will rock your shit. His only real all in option is to try and E you after ghosting, so just farm and don't waste your Q and W. If he does pull you, Q him immediately and W and just focus on dodging his Q. You will be very slow because of his W, but with your Q and W, you may be able to stick on him until the Q is over, then you can run away.”

Skysolitox says “Darius is famous for "if he gets to you, you're dead" and that is true. Darius is extremely dangerous as your only chance of escaping is either using your CC or flashing away. i suggest always banning.”

PH45 says “Can be a difficult lane but it's mostly whichever snowballs first. Important thing is to block his W with your E and don't let him get his passive to 5 stacks on you. If you can't run out of his Q circle Q on him so you will be in the inner ring, denying him his heal and extra damage. Early tabis also help quite a lot in this matchup. All in if he misses E, just be careful since most Darius's run Ghost so they will have kiting potential with it.”

At_Tar_Ras says “he got buffed lol. if he misuses W, you can't really go for a comfortable all-in as the cooldown is at 5 all ranks. if they get cocky under your tower you can always all-in though. your all-ins are available by level 2 onwards with ignite or when he misses Q, E. make sure to always Q him/or away from his outer Q ring to not let him stack or deal dmg+heal and this is a matchup where you NEEEEED to hit your E. you can also just take TP and play it really safe. play to scale and play to dive and one-shot their backline. look for TPs and not letting darius snowball your lane by not dying to him is a legitimate strat. ”

jpaul2077 says “Darius isn't AS BAD of a match up many people make it seem. Of course you're not going to be dominating lane vs a competent Darius. The important part in this lane is staying even in experience and doing your best to not die solo. Remember that at level 6 with your ultimate you have just as much kill pressure as Darius has on you, so do not be afraid to go for the all in! However if at any point you fall even slightly behind you will have to concede all farm and play under tower and hope he makes a mistake.”
0
iZeal says “Respect his all-in. You can poke him safely with Q1. If he rushes armor, it gets much harder. Q1 is safe, but if you don't space Q2 perfectly, he can pull you even if you E away. In that case it is better to save your E for a Q3 while doding his Q. If he misses his E this is your time to harass him as it has a huge cooldown early on and he also runs oom after 3 Qs. Disrupt him in teamfights and don't let him stack up his passive on you.”
0
SunFalk says “High damage. He has a grabe. He's tanky. He has an ignite in his kit. He has an ult that can kill you easely. He has a good wave clear.
- To deal against a Darius, you need to not let him snowball, and to do that, you need to not die. Stay behind minions and safe, if he runs at you, use your Heal to go faster and run away. Let him push under your tower for you to CS and for a eventual gank from your jungler.”
0
PH45 says “You can't really trade with him well as you are very short ranged so you will get many stacks of his passive if you try to trade. You can setup a gank for your jungler but avoid being hit with his Q since he will heal a lot if you both get hit.”

slogdog says “Darius is a very easy matchup for Yorick, reason being that as long as you land your skills, E and W with ghouls, you should be able to beat him at all times, and it being an even easier time with ult.

A_Drunk_Carry says “A tricky matchup at times, but one that I feel is inherently 50-50. Darius will often go W level 1 to slow you and get off easy passive procs. Let him shove the wave early, you don't want to fight this lane until level 3. Darius is fairly immobile and easy to trap in your wall. Land an E, proc it with Q once you have 3-4 graves, and walk up to him. trap him in your W wall and let your ghouls do most of the work as you bonk him from time to time. NOTE: Grievous Wounds does WONDERs in this matchup due to Darius Q regen. ”

MagicallyDelish4 says “This one of the harder matchups. Try to make him take lane prio so you can freeze the wave and wait for your jungler. E inside of his Qs so he doesn't get the healing and the passive stack. Always wait for the bleed to end to go back in. If he starts Q then level one all in him with a D blade. If he Es your third Q You'll lose the trade. If you're leashing try not to go through tri-bush afterwards.”

Raen says “If you do 1 mistake especially in early he will just pop ghost and kill you. Try to get out of his Q or get close to him enough to deny heal. You need to be prepared with your E when you are sticking closely to Darius. He got AA range advantage (175 basically + 25 bonus from W) when you got only 125. Also don't try to fight him when he got 5 stacks on you from Hemorrhage. D shield helpful in this matchup to regen back his passive dmg. ”

A_Drunk_Carry says “IMPORTANT: START E LEVEL 1 IN THIS LANE
Another lane bully. Which means he beats Nasus, go figure.
If you accidentally start Q don't be surprised if he has 10 cs before you hit 2-3. You need your E to harass him off the wave early, and to last hit the melee minions.
Darius will zone you out of cs range from lvls 1-3. If you do walk up to farm a smart Darius will slow you with W, and beat your face down for 1/2 or more of your HP bar.
Try to trick Darius into Qing the wave. You want to be safely under tower. A lot of his presence disappears at that point.
You'll need grievous wounds in this lane, or you'll never be able to kill him while he's low. If you play it safe by the time you're lvl 6 if you can dodge a Q or two in a fight you actually win the 1v1. You outscale as well, so that's a plus.”

Fan22 says “Darius will harras you everytime you try to farm and deal a lot of damage, the worst thing its that his ultimate deals TRUE DAMAGE and his E gives him free armor penetration.
Be careful if he has Ignite and/or Ghost.
Against Darius ask your jungler for ganks as earlky as you can, because if he gets items or if he kills you your jungler can't help you much, run TP and Doran's shield for sustain, second wind from runes also helps.
Bramble vest helps a lot in this matchup because it reduces the healings of Darius Q, runes, deaths dance and Conqueror (common items on darius), and if you complete Thornmail you can deny up to 60% of his healings, however, i have discovered that rushing Bramble isn't very effective against him, so make that item later on.
Going supportive items like redemption, zekes or knights vow helps a lot since it's innevitable that Darius will melt you not mather how tanky you are, so helping your team as much as you can works well.
A small Tip against him it's that your W can instantly place you in the middle of him, meaning that you can use it to dodge his Q with ease.”

Fan22 says “This lane it's a Nightmare.
It's very complicated to do anything, don't try to fight him in early game, since you have no escape, only fight him if you are really sure you can kill him or if you are close to your tower.
In this matchup i recommend going AP with a Dorans ring and poking him all you can, having extra AP and mana let's you farm safely with Q from the distance, wich reduces the risk of diying against darius in an extended trade.
Remember you can use your Q or W to disengage after he uses E or if he is gonna use R.
The W silence doesn't let Darius use Q and R, wich are important abilities, silencing him in TF it's very good for neutralizing him.”

Fan22 says “Darius is very hard to lane against, doesn't matter what you do, it seems like he is always ahead.
First of all, you don't win extended fights, and since Garen wants to hit his enemies with the full duration of judgement it's had to trade at all with Darius.
In the early game focus on farming and don't overextended both in lane and fights, if you push the wave too much or go for farm when the wave is nearby his tower he can just drop Ghost and run you down, so be careful and stay as close as you can from your tower. And remember to save Q to disengage when he uses E or W.
Post-6 you can kill darius if he missplays since your Ult execute is as (or more) powerful as his, and doesn't have the requirements Darius has.”

Do not get any early ganks, he can easily 2v1 you. and your jungler ganking you changes nothing, the only way to change this matchup is to get your transformation. so look for TP oppotunities past 08:20 when he freezes.

MCSwavest says “This matchup is extremely polarized. One of you is going 0/10, whoever that is relies directly on you. His Q range is just enough to hit you when you auto, and the W cripple is scary. Make sure he's used E before you try to use yours, to do damage or otherwise. ”

Drake6401 says “He's getting less oppressive but I'm keeping him in major threats because of how easily you can lose this matchup with the tiniest mistake. If he gets the first kill, it will be a rough lane, but if you get the first 2 kills, you're in good shape. Make an empowered W your last hit before dashing out of a trade so he can't pull you back in. Failure to do so will get you killed. Once he is half HP, look for a kill but you must avoid his Q sweet spot. I take ghost vs this matchup so he can't out speed you with spells unless he has Nimbus and you don't. Be cautious in the mid game when he completes StrideBreaker. He can easily force a longer fight than you want with it.

RivalOCE says “A very cheesy matchup. If he takes ghost/ignite you can't win an all-in unless he misses his E. Same principle as Fiora, short trades but if he hits his E run. If he has TP this lane is much easier. E or Q inside his Q to stop healing. Don't be baited level 1. All-in when he's 50% at level 6.”

Chease says “"Skill" matchup but realy sett is just better darius. Let him engage into you, E/R his Q, also you can block his R dmg with your W shield.
If you want to flip game lvl 1 you can try fighting him with W unlocked.”

The Rock Titan says “"[Phase Rush, Doran's Shield, Q > W] - Phase rush is very important, if he pulls you in, you just combo him and phase rush out
- Can chunk you lvl1 if you somehow get in his range... He literally sometimes just run at you lvl1 and try to get some damage in.
- Q him at very max range, don't get hooked!
- You'll be down CS and that's normal, stay alive (don't feed him) in lane phase you are useful later on!
- When he's low enough, you can actually try to all in, but he might not give you the chance to.
- They all go ghost most of the time, very rarely teleport. Don't push your lane and manage your waves well! If he gets the freeze you're in deep trouble!"”

Pats45 says “Darius is the only match-up where this build will not work and as Zac Top there just is no counter play. Zac's trades take a long time in which he heals back up. Darius is built for extended trades and bleeding out opponents. You are given a ban for a reason. Ban Darius 100% of the time if you are planning to go Zac top.”

Quinncidence says “Yorick is a classic Darius counter but Darius wins early levels, avoid fighting at all cost level 1-5 unless you have cats ready.
After 6 (if even) you should be able to pressure him out with the help of maiden, the matchup gets easier the later the game goes.
Executioners is really good vs his Q heal + Goredrinker.”

kimmothy says “Dodge his q. If you get early game cheesed by him its a hard matchup to comeback. His bleed does alot early and his e can cancel your e as well. Use your r to dodge his e, if not q as his e gives him free q usually. Conq second wind”

Wawza says “Keep track of his bleed stacks retreat at 3-4 so he doesnt proc his passive and you should be ok. Killing him will be a matter of poking him down by abusing your range to be able to all in him, if he is playing safe go for short trades and freeze your lane so he has to overextend for farm.”

Jungl says “Must dodge his e, if you don't you're very much going to die or have to flash. If you are able to dodge his is most of the time would should be able to beat him in lane.”

The Real Fake says “Darius completely denies Hecarim's laning power. His slows for E & W denies the damage boost from your passive, also prevents you from kiting him out. As you ramp up your Conqueror and Q, he just gets stacks his passive on you. Once everything is stacked up/ready (Q + Conq + Last Stand), Darius also has his passive ramped up with bonus AD and a max damage R ready to execute you. Darius is stronger than you throughout the whole game.”

sock217 says “Same as garen, his ult is an execute and he has quite the cc and dots. Engage if you are CERTAIN he has no flash or his abilities are on cd. You can poke but always stay infront of minions to avoid his hook. Do NOT Fight Pre-6.”

Rhoku says “The Darius matchup can go both ways. You have to keep in mind that you outscale him. So if all else fails, you can simply play safe, give up CS, farm under turret and wait for later on in the game. So the matchup can be Even or just Impossible depending on how good the Darius player is. I myself, almost always crush Mordekaisers when I am on Darius so, believe me when I tell you that if the Darius player knows what he is doing, then you will NOT win the matchup alone. You might need your jungler. Here is the basic idea in this matchup. You need to A) use your full shield and B)fight in your ultimate. If you use your shield improperly, Darius will be able to just burst through it as it wont be that much. And if you fight outside your ultimate or fight him pre-6 you will just get shredderd. INSIDE your ultimate however, is a different story. If you are able to stick to him and hit EVERY single one of your abilities in your ultimate, you WILL kill him. Just make sure that you don't start the fight with stacks on you. In general, you should be looking to disengage whenever he gets any number of stacks on you. You can use the backwards E trick to disengage but good Dariuses will expect and avoid this. Poke him down early on with your Q but DO NOT fight him or let him get hits on you. Level 1 you can beat him if you can land an empowered Q on him but I wouldn't recommend it. He can snowball SO damn hard that it will seriously depress when you see how many times he will kill you. Revitalize and Second Wind are good. Seeker's Armguard and Ninja Tabi are also great. The lane becomes much easier if you have Ignite but if you die with ignite the lane is over. You LEGIT can't comeback.”

Heansuh says “You pull him, and he pulls you. Good Darius can't be won 1v1 at lane. I suggest going Tank against this guy.”
0
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror, I recommend taking Ignite and Bone Plating. He pretty much wins every 1v1 before level 6. Use E - Facebreaker when he uses his Q - Decimate, so you don't take increased damage and he doesn't heal as well. The same counts for your R - The Show Stopper, you can easily win trades if he misses his Q. Take bramble to stop his healing and rush Blade of the Ruined King. Ult him away in teamfights from your carries.”

Val3n says “Use your E to trade with him. Also, get some grievous early for his Q.”

LippyDarren says “Skill Matchup. Go spin into Q. If he saves his hook, depending on situation you have to back off. If he wastes his hook, spin into Q while pressing W in between to mitigate damage from all his bleeds and his W. You should use your Q only after he uses his W to cleanse the slow. If he manages to hook you in while you are trying to run, you will either have to burn flash or you will be dead, so you really have to look out when trading into Darius. If Darius wastes hook after level 6, look to all-in him as your all-in burst potential is much higher than Darius, and you have ignite whereas Darius most likely has ghost, so Level 6 is honestly a huge spike for Garen over Darius in this 1 on 1 matchup”

Psychopathic Top says “Since Darius's passive got nerfed, this matchup got a lot easier to play against. Start E level 1 and last hit the first 3 melees with E. Let him shove in and only focus on stacking the cannon on the 3rd wave. Biscuits are good here because you want to be using E to last hit in this lane in the early stages, so having the extra mana helps a lot. Most good darius players will 3 wave crash and wait for it to bounce back. Do not panic in this situation. Focus on last hitting and building up a wave. If Darius looks to all in you pre level 5 in your huge minion wave, ghost and fight back. Flash his outer Q so he cant heal and you can actually win the all in. If the lane gets to level 6, first back sheen + longsword and all in Darius with 50-60 stacks (is enough). The reason people think this matchup is hard because darius pulls Nasus in and the Nasus player starts to panic. But if you are a giga chad and fight back on 6 with sheen longsword you will realize that he simply dies to the dog. This matchup is basically a test of courage, if you hold and fight back then it is won. Darius is slightly better than Nasus in teamfights, but both champs function very similiarly. Buy steraks gage second in this matchup to match Darius's steraks. Do not go stoneplate second vs Darius because 2 item powerspike is too important. Whoever's got 2 items first in a teamfight wins, and stoneplate costs a bit more than steraks.”

Olaugh says “Ask your jungler for help, to shut him down early, don't be afraid to trade with him, if you are playing properly, you can win 1v1, however put some respect especially if he goes flash ghost!, if he collects 5 stacks on you, it knows to be very sticky, so be aware of his damage while fully stacked. When your minions are low move away so you dont get hit by q.Try to bait his q so he doesnt heal and get free stack. When he finishes minion with w ,all in him especially if u are lv 6 since he just used W ,his E doesnt work while you are in R and with ur Phage item + R your movm speed is insane and you rapidly go into him so he will probably miss q or activate it too late or wont be able to hit it at all, if he has ignite then be REALLY careful and ask jg to gank maybe even mid to roam.”
0
Gospodin Bure says “You cant pick fights with Darius and thats period, but he cant fight you either if youre careful enough, so poke with grasp-Q and only go for farm if you have passive up and use the bonus speed to run to safety. If he uses E you can poke him more.”

DippyDan says “One of the few Melees that can win level 1 against Fiora. I have gotten Ghost cheesed too many times in this matchup. Also very hard to parry his E if he is smart but if you survive the early game you can All-In with ult and look to parry his ult.
TIPS: [1] Q into him or away to deny healing from Axe [2] Predict his hook and look to Parry. [3] Rush boots if losing.”

Hecki says “In my opinion it is a really unfun match-up because you always need to be in the right position against a Darius, espescially if he has Ghost. If you E to far into him or just missstep once he can run you down with Ghost. Try to find max range Q's and keep him at a safe distance until you can all in him with R. Executioner's Calling / Bramble Vest is a good option.”

clalobaciel says “If Darius manages to get on you and do damage with his 5-stack passive, it is extremely difficult to win unless he messes up or you manage to parry his ult.

You have to be able to win early, and if you are ahead enough, fighting him late game shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

pumparumm says “A lot of people seem to think Darius gets countered by wukong. Wukong's level 1 allows you to all in and get a favorable trade to set you up for the first few waves, but Darius will out damage you level 1.

Beecai says “RUNA RECOMENDADA: PTA - ESTRATEGIA OFENSIVA.-------- La linea se resume en bailarte un tango con el darius intentando que no te agarre con su E o moriste, Su E te deja ''Stuneado'' el tiempo suficiente como para que su Q te impacte siempre con el borde sin que puedas hacer nada, y si encima te impacta el Básico + W te aplica una ralentización suficiente como para perseguirte hasta tu muerte.-----------Intenta pokearlo tomando tus recaudos y cuando tenga poca vida, asesínalo en caso de que quiera curarse con su Q ponete a rango melé:
1- Para evitar su curación 2-Si intentas irte ''Afuera'' del rango, probablemente flashee y se salve, pero si te acercas a melé de todas formas no te impactara, y aunque luego de eso flashee podrás alcanzarlo para asesinarlo.”

NeroZYN says “If played incorrectly, Darius can stomp you. Any slight miss positioning and you can easily die. You need to be able to dash into his Q to reduce the damage taken , and to fully commit to the fight. Do not try and kite away from him! His E is also buggy (in my opinion) making it really hard to dodge. Other than that, the matchup is actually very easy.”
0
CFCryo says “Representative of the typical BIG JUGGERNAUT TOP, Darius has huge damage when you get caught. This is an example of someone you should probably take Aftershock for. For Darius specifically, use Flay (E) to push him towards you, pulling yourself inside of the Q circle. Pushing him away from you takes too long, and he's likely moving away from you already, perfectly landing you in the outer circle.
If you die once, don't try anything funny again, or it won't just be once.”

Mr. Popper says “Darius is a special matchup because if you go even with him you auto win after level 9 due to Gnars passive gaining a little attack range after each level up.

JaxIsAHobo says “Similar to the garen matchup, but a fuckton easier. Don't get hit by the tip of his spin(Q), by either stepping out of it, or jumping in on him using your Q. When he goes to auto attack you, use your counterstrike to block his auto and his slow(W). Never let darius get to more than 3 stacks on you, as anything more than that is dangerous. This matchup is extremely easy for an experienced jax player. You can even run ghost if you'd like to run away/kite him LOL.”

SemPelo says “Darius is one of the best champions on extended battles since he has sustain and dealts a ton of damage. Since he usually goes rather tanky is difficult for you to go into a duel if you are even in HP and abilities.
Before level 6 you are still pretty strong against him. Afterwards try poking him(with your q) instead of battleling him face first.”

Vandenelis says “just try to farm, don't trade him, when he pulls you in use q under yourself, aa him once with e, and run away. Don't go too far away from your turret since if he uses ghost on you when you are further in the lane you will be dead

DarkyTheReal says “Good Darius are hard to beat because they don't use their E for a gap closer, they use it to cancel your 3rd Q. What you want to do is level 1 if you both have ignite, and he starts Q, You can all in and you'll win if you dodge his outside part of the Q. Otherwise, you should do quick trades where you bait his E, Then you go for an all-in.”

Kartagoo says “One of the Best if not THE BEST Counter for Garen. Careful for his Lv 1 Brush cheese if you walk to lane! Rather go around it past the Krugs. Get Lv 2 before him try to get an early Lead against him before he's Lv 3. Don't trade too much and don't let him get 5 stacks of his Passive. Even with a lead RESPECT his All-in potential if you are in the middle of the lane or further and has ghost he wants to All-in everytime and you are gonna die everytime. So if you are ending up pushing to hard rather lose some CS (Minions) and let him Push him into your Tower. Get Tabi's early. I rly kid you not, you and your team have it much easier killing a 0 3 Darius than a 3 0 One! if you are very behind or have only 1 kill go for Black Cleaver Rush so your team can later burst him down easier.”

Lupus_ToplaneMain says “The matchup is even. Try to q into his q so you take less damge, he doesnt heal and you dont get a passive stack. And you deal free damage so dont q out (this only applies if you can hit vital, rather q out if vital is in a bad position). If you are too low, of course you should q away from him. Parry his w instead of e, because his w is easier to parry and it will give him one his passive stacks, his e wont!!
His ult is strong, he can kill you with it no matter your lead. Dont dive. Also, his e has 24 seconds cd until he skills it level 8.”

SettVEVO says “Skill matchup and snowball central.
TAKE IGNITE, he will take ghost 99% of the time, this means he has an extra combat spell against you, and he will be MUCH HARDER to face if you bring teleport. If you bring ignite you no longer are weaker than him, you are even or maybe even stronger, that is if you land your abilities. DO NOT GO FOR EXTENDED TRADES. Dodging his Q is essential to win anything against Darius, it is huge damage and huge heals in one spell, thankfully you can E and ult him to avoid it. The only time you take extended trades against him is if you have ignite up and he is forcing a trade. In an extended trade ignite as soon as you see his Q or if he is low enough. Darius' are really cocky and think they can 1v1 anybody. Once he gets ult you really want to use your W wisely and only use it when he ults unless you need to use it earlier.”

You can control the wave by letting him Q the wave, he has no tp so you can get chunked and tp back. His harass on you will reset the wave back to you.
TAKE GRASP HERE”

wff010 says “You should win this matchup post six but before then here are some tips:
You generally win this fight unless the darius kites you with ghost which is pretty cancer. Try to dodge his Q by Q'ing right into him and hit him as much as possible till he dies. Save E W to finish him off. Later on, you can save your W to cuck his ult. This is a volatile matchup so if you want you can play it safe by just farming under tower and asking jg for ganks.”

qosmox says “Try to go forward baiting for his Q and backing off without getting hit whenever you can. If Q is on CD, then you can go for short trades, blocking his W with your W and getting out of there asap. Never do extended trades in this match-up except if he's already low and you KNOW you can kill him before he kills you. If you’re in the middle of a trade that looks good for you HP-wise, then once he starts Q’ing, E inside the middle of it to deny most of the dmg and all of the healing.”

SanLourdes says “Darius has been nerfed in terms of mobility, but recently buffed in damage and his E cooldown to compensate. This honestly makes him even harder for Sion to deal with than before. His sheer damage output makes him hard to deal with. Bait out his E so he can't pull you and interrupt your Q. If you scale, he shouldn't be that big of a threat. Don't duel him when he has his passive stacked. Use your Q only when his E is on cooldown. If you stun him, you can usually defeat him with some help because most of his defense is sustain which will be unavailable if he is CCed. Thornmail is immensely important in this matchup. Darius is a great ban in lower elo.”

CucumberSandwich says “Very hard matchup due to Darius' potential as a lane bully. Don't trade before 6. Try to bait our his Q or E before looking for an engage. You want to be on the inside of his Q when trading to take minimal damage.”

Drygur says “If you fight Darius you need to stay on top of him while he is channeling his (Q), if you get hit by the blade you will be in danger.
Also Darius' Apprehend (E) gives him the opportunity to ruin the flow of your combo by pulling you out of your 3rd (Q), since he can react to the animation beginning,
!! Only fire your 3rd (Q) if he is stunned by your Ki Burst (W) !!
If you fall behind in this lane it will feel terrible, but the same goes for him!
BRING THE RESOLVE PAGE, or the aggressive page with ignite.”

RainAndBow says “After stridebreaker nerf, he is more manageable late game. He is still ridiculous to play against early. Take Phase Rush, try to blind him when he uses W. This is difficult as he usually does E-Auto-W which cannot really be stopped. Play very safe against the Darius.”

Saesame says “Easy Lane. Learn to Q-out perfectly to dodge his E near the start of the animation. (Might be the reason I have a 75%+ wr against him?) Respect his W-slow/E-W Combo. His W slow is a death sentence. Don't let him Q-Heal your clone. He scales but you scale harder - as long as you don't int to him. Learn his E range so you know whether you need to Q or not... bait it out and dodge it with movement speed if possible.”

ForgottenProject says “I actually this this is a good matchup for Gwen.
Every Gwen player is banning Darius for no reason, you use your E to dash into him when he goes for a Q. Place your W at the beginning of the trade for a HUGE Armor Buff so he does very little damage.
Bramble rush is an option or you can rush Riftmaker with Plated Steelcaps.”

ForgottenProject says “Extremely Strong Kit in Lane. His lane can be Oppressing if you keep letting him trade with you.

[3]You can Q into him when he uses his Q to deny the Healing.
[4]If he somehow gets an early lead make sure you have Boots or you'll get Run-down.

a1a7s45 says “Darius is oppressive but there is a rune that can counter him. Phase Rush.
My reasoning is that if he slows you, you can proc Phase Rush and get away or if he engages with Ghost, you can again get away. If you're almost Mega and he engages you, proc Phase Rush, turn Mega and turn the tides which will hopefully end up with a kill for you.”

Safolet says “In my opinion, this match depends on who plays better. Darius has the E to get closer to you, Gnar has the E to jump, but Darius also has the Ghost to run faster and thus catch up with you. I usually play pretty safe but trying to tease with Q and basic attacks to make it difficult for Darius to farm. In MegaGnar I almost always try to hit with the W or R to get away from him and thus keep my distance so that when I become MiniGnar I can annoy him from afar.”

AlanVenator says “Darius is considered to be a lane bully, he is no exception against Urgot. The key to winning this matchup is survive the early game. Use your E every time he tries to grab you. Play safe and try to freeze the wave. After level 6, you can kill him on your own if you play it well. Since he is an inmobile champion you can easily kill him every time with the help of your jungler so ping help every time your ultimate is up. If you don't fall behind, once you get Black Cleaver + lvl 9 it's free win.
Do not let him snowball early game!!! If he doesn't build tabis he is quite squishy.”

SethPRG says “You should only ever be careful of Darius level 1, and if he has ignite or ghost. His all-in potential is scary, but you beat him if you punch him, literally. When Darius is about to use his Q, that's your signal to E him so you get put in the center, both avoiding the damage and bleed. If he W slows you before using Q, it's not the end of the world, and if you are level 6 you can just ult him during that anyways to dodge his Q. If he tries to ult you, you can ult him to cancel his ult, but you can't watch for the animation, you just have to predict it or else it will still hit you. If you're not about to kill him and are above 3 stacks of his bleed, you should try to move towards your turret, and if he still sticks on you and you don't think you will be able to reach your turret without getting 5 stacks and taking way too much damage, or just dying, keep fighting. No matter what you beat him at all stages of the game unless his passive is fully up and he outplays you. His only real threat to you is his Q heal from 5 stacks (which you can have 60% mitigated of from itemizing properly) and the nearly 1k true damage from his ult late game. You need to focus him first, ult him into his team so you can also simultaneously gap close on the ADC without Darius being a threat to run down your team. Trinity Force is the best way to keep steamrolling Darius so he never has a chance to fight back, but you'll want to get Bramble on your first back, and build Plated Steelcaps if you are behind or have completed your Mythic item. Take Death's Dance second item if there are more than 2 AD, otherwise build it 3rd, and eventually build a Sterak's Gage to survive his ult burst Mid-Late game.”

SpartanDumpster says “This is a match up that can go either way. Darius is tanky enough for your passive to threaten him, but not enough to guarantee you'll win trades. His pull is something to make sure you dodge. Darius' often have a habit of spinning immediately after using their pull ability, so as long as you dodge that pull, he'll have two abilities on cooldown, which may be the best time to punish him before level 6.”

doozy99 says “Take your W first, if you're looking to trade back at level 1. You can duel him and win sometimes. Go ignite if you're not confident that you can kill him, otherwise take ghost. Your passive combined with Revitalize and Second Wind can negate his bleed. Keep your W to block his R damage. Don't push into his tower, he'll run you down and kill you.”

Unholy Vanity says “Whilst it is true that Darius is strongest in prolonged fights, he falls in even when matched correctly.

Godidi says “I consider Darius a skill matchup, the better player wins. Unlike garen, Darius has a good way to engage, and, since most dariuses take ghost, whenever he wants, he can just run at you, E and do a full combo. But if you are aware of that and kite properly and blinding when he goes for a W, since he will only be able to get 1 Hemmorage Stack (from his Q) or none (if he misses the edge), his ult wont do you much other than mildly inconvenience you. That said, still be careful as Darius is Darius so he may still be able to kill you even though he missed his W and has no range/mobility.”

Kaizin says “Do not let him get to 5 stacks of bleed, don't take all ins unless you can burst him, he will win extended trades with q healing and raw damage. Be unpredictable in your movements so he can't land Q. Take short trades from level 3 with e into q stun auto and w. Bramble rush into tier 2 boots helps with dodging q and reducing his healing. Early health stacking will be beneficial as his R true damage is a flat number.”
0
NPGRiven says “Honestly this matchup isn't extremely hard, but you can be punished very easily. Which is why I have put it so high up on the scale. When he uses Q you always want to make sure you step inside of him to avoid getting hit by his outer Q, as Riven this isn't that hard. Level 1 you are able to all-in him if he starts Q, if he starts W, don't bother.
Never trade into him if he already has some bleed stacks on you, wait out the stacks before going in. The best thing to do is freeze near your tower, Darius can run you down in lane very easily, and will take ghost like 75% of the time.”

Humitaxx says “Darius is required to get close and damage you a lot, for any regular build this would be fatal, but if you go with the tank build, you just need to endure until your W is charged up so you can stun and kill him with the burst damage of your W and then shield bash, don't get cocky tho, since he can still execute you if you get low enough with all stacks and get ahead easily to the point this will not work as intended”

deathwalker7119 says “One of Fiora's harder matchups, once you learn this matchup it becomes much easier but at first it will feel horrible. Take ignite usually, plus the nimbus cloak page. If you are both full hp, do NOT parry the E, it is a death sentence. He will just auto you and run you down once hes out of stun. Parry his empowered auto (W) because it is a large chunk of undodgeable damage that comes with a big slow that will fuck you. Most fights will play out one of two ways: A bad darius will walk up and Q to take a free trade, if this happens, instantly Q into him. He will then E you (this is fine) but immediately parry after the E knockup is done because this will parry his auto after the E (which is usually his W). From here, look to constantly Q into his Qs as he can't heal, make sure to pop your ignite early so that if you fuck up a Q he doesn't heal to 50% hp and kill you for free. The other Darius player is the good darius player, he will look to walk up and start with E or W. You need to study how they play because every Darius main plays a little differently. Some Darius players will go E > W > Q, some will W > E > Q, some will W > Q > e, and some will E > Q > W. either way, you simply need to Q into his Q and parry the W, or he will fuck you. You can also use your Q to dodge his E with prediction if he is one of the Darius players who holds his E for after his auto > w.”

RealIreliaCarriesU says “Avoid fighting him at lvl 1 since you won’t have passive, start e and let him push you in. E him after he autos you so that your creeps target him. Once it pushes to tower stack your passive and look for fights, especially since it will be pushing back and you will have exp advantage over him. Don’t be afraid to fight him even if he looks spooky. Make sure he has no boneplating before all-inning him and land your E before you go in AND make sure you have passive. Save your last Q for his Q, spam your Q when they pull you if they are charging his Q. If you don’t get hit by his outer Q you will typically win, same goes later levels however I would avoid fighting him after 3 items if you are not ahead of him since it will take you too long to kill him and he will get his passive.

I think if you are a newer to the champ this match up can be a nightmare but the way you win this match up is by kiting him with q. If he q just walk into him melee and then q and walk away. If he e same thing just q and walk away. If he e and then ghost just ult him. Go into practice tool and practice doing a fast ult that knocks them away. If you get good at it you can ult him away before he can really react. Cannot remember the last time I have lost this match up and people pick into me all the time.”

However, any Nasus worth their salt will also understand that simply staying alive and not getting punished too hard will lead to a long-term victory for them. Nasus in this matchup generally needs to freeze the lane extremely close to the tower. Bait Darius into [[Decimating]] your minion wave to get it to push forward, closer to your tower use [[Spirit Fire]] to prevent minion wave crashes. Most importantly, don't ever get hooked by Darius, you can do his by staying behind minions whilst his hook is up.”

painkillertop says “Darius could easily be an ‘extreme’ on the matchup rankings however with a bit of patience and smart positioning you can win this matchup. When playing against Darius you are highly likely to be trading often therefore start the game with a Dorans blade and a pot. Be very careful during the early levels as his bleed stacks can easily cause the lane to go south for both you and your jungler! Whenever Darius uses his Q ‘Decimate’ you need to use your E either as an escape or to get within the circle hitbox in order to prevent taking any damage. A personal preference of mine is to get an early executioners in order to reduce the healing he gets from his Q. In an even lane with Black cleaver and Executioners you WIN this matchup (again post level 9) but you also have a good shot at winning from level 6 onwards. ”

AmericanNut says “His early game is good, so is yours. But you cannot beat him without Plated Steel Caps, wait for him to initiate with his E pull, once he does that, he will likely Q, use Shield Vault to get too close to him for his axe to hit, and then burst him down.”

Noodles912 says “If you always social distancing him, you are fine. Play chicken always, and you will outscale him. Look to freeze in lane so he needs to play up. If he manages to hook you, W will stop his Q and R, but not his passive bleed. Spam Q to stay healthy.”

PiscesPomf says “HARD LANE - HANDLE WITH CARE !
Darius is a really strong champ during laning phase, and a powerful champ over that.
- Parry his E and you can try to trade him.
-If you can't parry his E, then parry just after he grabs you so you deny a W (wait just a bit because he launches an AA before a W.).
-If he's about to ult you, you can obviously parry his R.
-You can dash into him when he is using Q to deny his heal, but running in the opposite direction is an idea. Be patient and wait for an opportunity to go into him. Craft boots early because he's fast.”

You can beat him with your ultimate only if he is not fully stacked. Save your W for when you get on low health so that he can't use his ult to execute you.

Lost Robot says “He can snowball pretty hard if you let him get an early lead, but you won't.
Hope that Darius goes for a level 1 cheese. *As long as you get the first auto,* you'll almost always win this fight with Ignite. If he autos first, there's a possibility he can outplay you and get his passive activated early enough for him to win the all-in. If you predict the cheese and you're the first one to auto, you'll win the all-in easily.
Besides that, he really can't be much of a problem. Be extremely aggressive. Don't back off when he uses his Q, or else he'll heal. Note that if you have 3 stacks and he uses his Q, you can use Devour to pull him in so you get hit by the handle instead.”

Dorom says “People tend to have problems with this champion which is quite understandable due to his trading potential with Q and passive.

SanLourdes says “Darius is a tough champion especially after level 6. He is beefy, deals fat damage and his ultimate can execute you at low health. Your best bet is to initiate first, don't let him start the duel. This makes sure that he can't use his E, and since you are staying close to him, his Q will deal reduced damage. Don't build Divine Sunderer!!! Attack speed is even more important against Darius because you want your initiations to be as short as possible and Divine Sunderer lacks in attack speed but makes up for in sustain. f you give him extended fights he will be able to stack his passive which will make it so much harder to duel with him, which is why sustain is not the best way to defeat Darius. He is not a full on tank but more of a bruiser, so build Tri-Force and Black Cleaver.”

The_Real_Wickd says “Darius is one of Shen's absolutely biggest nightmares. Playing against him will make you rip your hair out.
You have to be extremely careful once you meet this guy on the rift. Often he will be running Flash and Ghost which is the scariest combination. If he got Flash and Ghost it's absolutely crucial that you never push him. If you are pushing he will run you down with Ghost and you're going to die every single time. Allow him to push you under tower and focus on safely farming. If you want to kill Darius it's important that you coordinate a gank with the jungler. You can only win 2v1, but be careful of 2v2 scenarios.
It's a much easier matchup if he's running Flash and Teleport. In that case you can kinda play the lane however you want.”

ChaseMorePlz says “Remember that If you dodge his Q is prevents his heal. Keep in mind when playing against Darius that his Q will do significantly less damage when you're close to him. Basically, When you do a fast combo and you get all of your autos & abilities off you have the potential to out damage him in trades early on. Watch out for his E during ganks it has an annoyingly long range. It's a good idea to bait his Q out before you trade and slowly poke him down. ”

DONT PUT A POINT INTO YOUR ABILITIES YET, HE MIGHT TRY TO CHEESE, GO W IF HE WALKS UP AND STARTS AUTOING YOU. You need to rush plated steelcaps to lane against him. After you get bork you can beat him pretty easily if played correctly. If you are in shitters low bring ignite, if you are in like plat + you can bring ghost. The reason darius is even is because you both are bullies, if he gets a lead on you, its over. You can't push. However if YOU get a lead, he can't push. Try to use your R to dodge his Q. Also make sure to use your E to dodge his Q. Save W for his R. ”

HoftheGreed says “Darius aunque puede parecer bastante intimidante, no es un campeón del que debamos preocuparnos tanto en Early si tenemos control de nuestras habilidades, se podría considerar mas que nada un duelo de Skills ya que aunque pueda infligir gran cantidad de daño por su pasiva, podríamos ganar un 1v1 a nv1 su subimos primero nuestra W, o con la misma W bien cargada mitigar una ulti con 5 acumulaciones por parte de Darius aparte de hacerle gran cantidad de daño. Principalmente hay que tener cuidado de no curarlo cuando use su Q, usualmente su combo es usar su E para acercarte a el, luego la W para ralentizarle y alejarse un poco para curarse y hacer daño con su Q, en el momento que nos jale podemos aprovechar si estamos cerca de minions enemigos para usar inmediatamente nuestra E y ya sea ralentizarlo para que al menos no se cure con la Q y haga menos daño (además de que no nos meterá ninguna acumulación con la Q) o aturdirlo y tradearlo antes de que el lo haga y salir un poco ilesos con la W si es que se cargó bastantito para darle aun mas daño.

LunaticDancer says “CAREFUL. He's a pretty easy lane after you hit 6, or even 3, BUT it's still a skill match up. Obvious, reckless mistakes can let him make a comeback, so play safe even with the advantage. Anti-heal might be a good idea. Main tips: Don't get into long trades pre-6, he wins those. You win with bursts. When he uses Q, come closer to him, the inner circle of his Q deals way less damage and you also are now closer to punish him for his foolishness.”

lolkayleee says “[Conqueror/Grasp + Trinity Force/Divine Sunderer.]
[Flash/Ignite + TP OR ignite/flash]
There are two ways to play this matchup. You can go the aggressive route with conqueror + ignite/flash + Doran's Blade start, OR Grasp + ignite/tp or flash/tp + Doran's shield start.
If you think you're better than the enemy Darius or if you have an aggressive jungler while the enemy has a weak early game jungler then the aggressive setup might be better. The ignite helps you win the all in, and the flash helps you flash into the center of his Q to prevent his heal.
If you opt to take the passive route, I recommend taking Doran's shield + Second Wind because Darius's passive continuously procs the passive on Doran's shield and with Second Wind you will actually heal back a lot of hp.
In both cases you want to start W because if you walk up to him level 1 he can just press ghost and auto attack you to death with his stacked passive. Let him push the wave to your side of the lane. Don't even stand next to him because he can cancel your hookshot with his E and then you're dead. If he pulls you first, then auto him for your passive shield and hookshot away. If your jungler camps top it relieves a lot of pressure off this lane. Even if he survives a gank and burns his ghost it removes a lot of kill threat he has on Camille. Try to freeze the wave on your side of the lane and stand close to walls so he can't react to your hookshot. If he ever wastes his hook you have 24 seconds to do what you want as long as the wave is on your side of the lane because he can't cancel your E if you want to run away.
You outscale him pretty hard so just try to get your Trinity Force/Divine Sunderer and look for short trades by landing a Q2 on him after slowing him with W and using the movement speed to kite away - if he hooked you on your way out you can just hookshot away.
Once you have your mythic item - and you guys are even in experience and items - if he ever wastes his Q you can hookshot onto him and all in him. Dodge his second Q with your R and you should win.”

SpyDaFX says “it's mostly skill matchup, Don't trade with him when he has a single stack on you, and never do extended trades with him even if you're fed and he isn't, his stacks ignores how much you are fed and his ult gives true damage. you can trade with him when you have 1 stack only if you plan to flash+w when ur full fury and he's low hp, then its ok, also don't trade with him level 1, but start w, at level 2 you can look for trades, but it's VERY dangerous if he started E level 2. level 3 is pretty safe to trade because u can Q to heal in an all in. go Conqueror”

mobsterplatypus says “Carry ignite. Darius is very strong as of now and his all-ins hurt. A lot. Ignite helps just the little extra bit, especially if you use it during your ultimate. In my experience, thornmail works better than zhonyas due to the health increase and grevious wounds, so go for that. riftmaker is better than rocketbelt here because you're never chasing him unless he backs away for Q. If he has ghost it's a problem, though. go steelcaps for boots.”

Kil4fun says “You think Darius would be a really bad lane. Take exhaust. Most Darius players will try and all in you at level 1. Fight back. Last stand in addition to Press the Attack will let you out damage him. He won't hurt as bad because of exhaust and if you play it right you get his ghost and firstblood. He can't teleport since they almost always take ghost to run you down. Triumph will save you from his bleed. Just don't play dumb afterwards and mind his ghost cooldown.”

BigManYam says “Darius will all in at level 2 or 3 and will harass you very early if you're within in his range, my advice is just play safe let wave push to you and wait for ganks to lower his health so he can't harass you while you farm. He will also freeze lane so you can't farm so play safe and be patient. ”

DrStephenHawking says “Darius can literally destroy you in early game and is very difficult to farm against him, if he engage you and you haven't flash you are pretty dead.

Don't smash your keyboard. Darius is extremely difficult for all Singed players to deal with, don't try to fight Darius as he will almost always win the trades. Peel him off your team in team fights and he shouldn't be able to do too much. Proxy is recommended here.
Your W prevents Darius from being able to R, which is useful when you know he's going for an all-in.”

Whobick says “Darius has the poke you wish you had, and a greater axe. Try and dodge his Q while poking with Undertow (Q). Olaf is good for long fights, and darius is just that much better.

If you can manage to get him to blow his Flash or Ghost early then he loses all kill pressure on you and you can just kite him.

narsil reforged says “Pegue barreira.
A não ser que você vacile muito ao ponto de levar dano da metade exterior do Q do Darius, a matchup é surpreendentemente fácil.
O segredo da matchup é utilizar o q pra "entrar" na metade inferior da girada do machado dele, anulando a cura e fazendo-o deixar de obter um stack. Trocando auto-ataques com ele e ficando esperto pra usar o Uivo Primitivo quando ele der o slow do W, você come o bonecão na porrada. A barreira é mais pra garantir mesmo, caso você faça caquinha ou ele resolva dar um dogashow montage de flash+W
Se ele vacilar e deixar você pegar level 2 mais ou menos no mesmo tempo que ele, upe o w instantaneamente, ative-o e corra pra forçar o flash do Bonecão. Cuidado com o mid game na side contra ele, por conta do Quebrapassos.

NoxianBlood says “Darius always wins lane against Sion if you manage to solo Darius in Lane with Sion the Darius is definitely doing something wrong, just play passive and try to farm with your abilities in a way so he can't reach you with his grab, once you survive laning phase and got Sterak First item, and Warmog, and Titanic, you should be fine in team fights since Darius can't deal Max health damage, so he will deal just flat damage so stacking allot of HP and shields with make his all in useless just don't stay too long in fight he may not have Max Health damage, but he still deals a lot of damage, and has armor penetration, so HP will make you survive just the all in the team fight, also don't make him stack 5 on you, cause he will switch target and wipe out all your squishies and leave you useless for last.”

TrinityForceYasuo says “Darius is a big bully in lane. Try to punish him for the minions level 1 to 3 as much as you can.

NickCola Tesla says “As a Darius main, there is zero way for a competent Darius to lose this lane. Go the tank rune setup designed for ranged matchups, since you don't even want to get into AA range of him. Or, take Arcane Comet and purchase a Doran's Ring if you want to poke at him more, and consider maxing your E first. Once you begin stacking armor, you can CONSIDER stepping up to melee range to CS more appropriately, but I would still just give up anything past the halfway point towards his tower, even if you're playing from range. Check the "high threat matchups" section for greater detail!”

StrikeX114 says “Darius' main threat comes in his passive, Apprehend (E), and his ultimate. Be careful to maintain a safe distance from him, and he won't be much of a threat towards you until his first major item spike. To counter him, you may want to consider running double armor runes (for a total of 12 extra armor) to mitigate his damage.”
0
Saarlichenbog says “Darius can be super oppressive in lane but can be won with proper knowledge and execution of the matchup. As a ranged champion, Darius relies on pulling you in with his E to pull off his combo. It can be extremely tempting to move up in lane for creeps but you will most likely get run down by Darius who typically takes a combination of Ghost and Nimbus Cloak which makes it impossible to escape his E. Spacing between each other and freezing the wave properly under your tower will limit Darius's ability to bully you in lane until you outscale him at 3 items.”

GARDENZE says “Trocar com um bom Darius exige uma precisão clinica; compre botas de segundo item, deixe a wave puxar pra sua torre e a controle bem, evite a todo custo farmar perto de Darius pois qualquer troca melee até o level 6 leva a seu flash ou sua morte, farme com o Q no maximo range e com o E principalmente os minions canhão, pra ganhar a troca dê poke com os ghouls e o baite caitando com Q e correndo nos CDs, baite ele que vai atrás de voce até que sua HP esteja bem baixa por causa dos ghouls e finzalize.

TheMightyNinja says “Passive : his passive deals damage over time and can be stacked up to 5 times, his passive can be triggered by basic attacks, his Q or his W. Notice that reaching 5 stacks will also boost his damage.
Q :After a 0.75 seconds delay he spins in a circle damaging enemies, if any enemy champions are hit Darius heals himself 15% of his missing health for every champion hit up to 45%. To win the matchup you must not let him hit this ability by any means, you can counter it by using E/Flash inside/outside the circle depending on the situation.
W: slows enemies hit by 90% for 1 second, it is also a basic attack reset, you can block it with your W and it is noticeable by a red blade spinning on the middle of his axe and a sound effect.
E : If his E hits will pull you towards him...meh!?
R : Darius will execute any champion that is low enough on health and has 5 stacks of his passive on it, do not try to block that with your ultimate because it deals true damage and it will bypass your shield resulting in you wasting your ultimate.
Do not fight him at level 1, specially if he has ghost/ignite+W, try to notice wich skill he got 1st. Do not let him get xp advantage, from level 2 let him engage you can make short trades with grasp + empowered Q as long as you don't get hit by his Q. From level 3 use your W to block his W and make sure you back before he gets 5 stacks of passive on you. If he gets as low as half hp and wastes any cooldown you can kill him with a long trade. To win a long trade with Darius you must be sure that you utilise your passive to the fullest potential, that means your 1st ability that you use in that trade must hit him, either Q or E to get shorter cooldown on passive and trigger it twice in the trade!!!!!

Randombeastmode says “Darius destroys you, no matter your hopes or dreams, your only hope of winning this matchup...
Of winning the game is by splitpushing and helping your team, the tryndbuffs may have changed this, but so far he is so powerful, that you can't 1v1 him, if he plays properly with conqueror and ghost.
With lucky crits, your Q buff, maybe some damage from dblade, you can all in him, if you get an advantage, say a level advantage by pushing or a wave advantage.
Try to get him to hit you in your wave, it should allow you to get some more DPS to use against him.”

Frostyfps says “Avoid fighting him at lvl 1 since you won’t have passive, start e and let him push you in. E him after he autos you so that your creeps target him. Once it pushes to tower stack your passive and look for fights, especially since it will be pushing back and you will have exp advantage over him. Don’t be afraid to fight him even if he looks spooky. Make sure he has no boneplating before all-inning him and land your E before you go in AND make sure you have passive. Save your last Q for his Q, spam your Q when they pull you if they are charging his Q. If you don’t get hit by his outer Q you will typically win, same goes later levels however I would avoid fighting him after 3 items if you are not ahead of him since it will take you too long to kill him and he will get his passive.”

Luceris says “Standard Glacial Runes
Build Duskblade or Trinity Force
This is a fairly easy matchup. You outrange all of his abilities with base auto range. His E is 575 range, which is 25 less than your range. So unless you play your range wrong he cannot get to you unless he uses Flash or Ghost. Glacial is to make sure he does not get onto you once he has his Trinity Force, and so that you can run him down the lane. The only reason this is not a Minor Lane is due to his insane damage if he lands an E. Just stay out of E range and get to 20 stacks and then the lane is super free.”

SnarkyAlpaca says “I'll give Darius a 4 even though he could easily be a 2 once you learn to deal with him.
Early game trades are entirely centered around quick trades and getting out. All Darius players want to "Q" you with his AoE ability that adds a stack of his bleed.
The counter to this is that if you see him start to swing his "Q" animation, quickly stand on top of him and while you'll still take damage it won't add his Bleed Effect and it won't hurt as much. You'll win almost all trades if you duck inside of his "Q".”

TPOT Xolla says “Darius is lane where he decides what happens. You cannot contest him or the minion wave at all before lvl 6.

ERNESTSAURUS says “GRASP (SCALING) BUT INSTEAD OF PRESENCE OF MIND AND BLOODLINE, GO BISCUITS DELIVERY TIME WARP TONIC - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Darius is another really hard matchup for Nasus, a good Darius will beat you in every stage of the game regardless of your build and stacks and I highly recommend permabanning him in case you want to climb only with Nasus. In case you have another permaban and you get to fight him, I recommend rushing tabi's regardless of the team unless the team is 4 AP and Darius. Nowadays Darius players will play with Nimbus Cloak + Celerity with Ghost and Dorans Blade, but there is a slight problem with this, he struggles in short trades, so to effectively trade against him, look to bait his E and then E + Q with Grasp proc once you get around 130 stacks. If you punish his E cooldown consistanly you will be able to leave him low enough were he has to back or you can allin him, also when fighting him in every scenario, you have to look to burst him, if he is allowed to stack his passive on someone and then spam Ults, its a guaranteed loss since you will be behind in this matchup. As for early laning phase, just play as safe as you can, get in XP range while hiding in bushes. This is one of the most possible and harder matchups for Nasus and again, i highly recommend banning him. Don't be upset if you are 40+ minions behind him early on, it's the nature of this matchup.”

PH45 says “Another really difficult lane. Darius is a lane bully against most melee laners and Sylas is no exception. Poke with your Q but don't get caught in his pull or you'll probably die. Darius has no escapes outside his summoners so keep your vision up and ask your jungler to gank. After a few deaths Darius will be pretty weak and you shouldn't be as afraid of him anymore if he is behind. Tabis are really valuable in this matchup.”

Tauricus2017 says “Ok Darius is very strong champion I admit it but If you are playing Poppy, Nothing can go wrong. When you get pulled do not panic! try to stay inside or outside of Dariuses Decimate (Q). To help yourself with it you can use Heroic Charge (E) or Steadfast Presence (W). Also do not let him to stack his Hemorrhage (PAS.) on you or he might kill you with ease. Sometimes you can even bait his Apprehend (E) and then you have got 15 sec. of serenity.”

Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash OR Ghost + Flash. Dorans Shield start. Darius has very strong all in trades and his passive when stacked 5 times (stacks every auto attack and when he hits his q on the outer edge and his ultimate) gives him a lot of attack damage and does damage over time to you. Darius can use multiple keystones, starting items, and starting abilities. Darius with Q start is strong for early clear to get level 2 first, Darius with W start will look to take trades with you when you walk up for minions. Biggest thing to pay attention is they keystone + summoner spells. Ghost+Flash darius with conqueror has extremely good all in and if you are caught too far in the lane with a pull he can usually burn your summoners and then kill you as well. If this darius pulls you at a bad time for you, your best hope is to turn on him and all in and pray for crits. TP + Flash Darius with aftershock can be abused early if you take ignite, whether he starts q or w is irrelevant because your allin can be stronger then his so look to build fury and get level 2 first and all in him. Ignite + Flash darius with conqueror you basically just let him push you in and only farm don't trade. This is the strongest early game setup on darius to punish early but it falls off later since he can't kite you as well without ghost. The darius matchup in general is a lot about punishing cooldowns on his q and finding spots to take short trades with an auto attack + spin out without being forced into an all in by being pulled. Tryndamere does outscale this matchup in the mid-late game 1v1, but can be hard to dive him 100-0 so if you find yourself in that situation where he is just sitting under turret, then push him in and look for opportunities to outrotate him with your superior out of combat mobility and flank his team.”

If he tries to All in you, try Stunning him with your E [[Facebreaker]] and run away. Ask for Ganks!”

I Am Goliath says “Darius has a big con which is being kited and that's what Gnar is good at doing so this matchup should be fairly easy, the only thing you have to look out for is if he ever gets on you somehow you're probably toast if you're in mini because of squishy you are and how strong his kit is, although like I said you can kite him really well, and once you get frozen mallet I don't think he can do much to you. Remember that your auto range is about his E range so if he ever pulls you in just e away and keep kiting him, he doesn't have another way to get onto you unless he has flash or ghost up.”

I Am Goliath says “This matchup is usually lose lane win game. My tips for playing against darius is to be very smart with your W, as long as you have this up he should never really be able to kill you as long as you land it, this is another lane where you want to survive the early game because he won't win 1v1 against you in the split late game and darius sucks in teamfights as well, he also doesn't have an easy way to kill your ghouls in lane so you can punish him with those whenver you have graves up, other tips for playing against darius are to try to bait out his pull and try to dodge the healing part of the Q you can do this by either walking into him or just trying to dodge it completely. Just remember as long as you have your W up you always have a way to trap him in should you need to run.”

Sub Runes: CDR, Damage, Armor

Darius is a one sided skill matchup in Darius's favor. That bleed, that god damn bleed. Anyway, you CAN win this matchup however, you have to know Darius's damage compared to your own. Depending on what Darius starts will determine when you can trade. He started Q? You can trade lvl 1 if he missed you with his Q. Started W? Can't trade until lvl 3. Started E? Why? Whatever, if he misses his pull you can go in at any lvl and win. Also, what summoners he took are a big part of the matchup too. Ignite? Do short trades and burst him down when low. TP? Try to keep him in lane as long as possible by short trading. Ghost? Just don't fight him. Honestly, you can't kite him. If not confident, just freeze the wave and look for TP. ”

Adolfie says “Darius is a lane bully, you will have a lot of trouble in the early game. I personally start to fight darius around lvl 9, when you have about 150 stacks, then its safe to fight him if you have stacked up CDR. You can choose what to max, if you cant sidestep his Q, max W, if you want to deal more dmg to him, max E to the third rank. Then after lvl 11 go back to maxing W”

ZergDood says “Playing an important match? Don't pick Poppy into this matchup. To beat him, it's all about the zoning. Be aware of his Q and E range. Use your W to move away from his Q, get away from him with your E towards a minion and if he walks towards you, harass him with Q+Passive. Don't get used to Q him, and if you do, try to get it at max range, and when his E is on cooldown. Do NOT take extended trades. Poke him and avoid every single Q or don't fight him.

It's so, so satisfying to watch an enemy Darius spam 'EZ' after getting completely stomped in lane, unable to contest as the 10/0 Yorick takes their inhib at 15 minutes. Darius just cannot fight you. You throw ghouls at him, his axe swing misses them. If he's in your W, you can Q him without being caught by his hook. If he manages to stack his passive on you, you can just put him in the spooky baby cage and tell him to calm down while you recover. This is such a beautiful, wonderful lane, made better by how you know, you just know, that they're crying about how Darius is meta and should be a free win. ”

Darius is a real menace to Nasus, he has a lot of damage with conqueror and his passive stacked up, he gets a lot of armor penetration with his E passive, he can kite you really well with Nimbus Cloak, Celerity and Ghost, overall its a really difficult matchup for nasus and i recommend to permaban him if your not that experienced with the matchup. I recommend to allin him whenever his Ghost and E are down, Since he wont get the movement speed to outkite you and then he cant get the autoreset with E, leaving him with the Q heal and the autoatack reset of W. Look to burst him, usually Darius players will go for trinity force first item for the
base movement speed (+7%) it provides and the Sheen proc, so whenever he doesnt have ghost and E, you all in and try to burst him as quickly as possible, ask your jungle to help you, if you fall behind, its really difficult to beat him since his ult deals a lot of true damage.”

Dreadscythe95 says “He falls behind Kayle late game but he can turn her life into a nightmare for most of the game. Kayle can't punish him effectively when she turns ranged and his passive means that one small mistep and Kayle is dead, even with ultimate up. If he is an experienced Darius and he takes Phase Rush as well, it's probably gg for your lane.”

Shumair says “Darius is a pain to deal with. You have to play laning phase slowly. Throughout lane try to whittle him down with your Q at max range. Your Q outranges his e slightly and his Q has a delay. However, due to the recent buffs to ghost, he can pop it then immediately E-W you. Due to this I would recommend that you play safe and outscale, even if you lose cs. You can fight him at around level 10 and win if you're even. Ask for jungle assistance if you're not sure about an all-in.”

ItsmeKenny says “Don't waste E randomly or you win die. Use leap to dodge his outer ring Q. Go for short trades aganist him. He wins you at level 6 all in.”

chloe666 says “Most people classify this as a hard matchup, but there's a trick to beat Darius.
When he Q's you instead of trying tu run away and eat the whole damage of his Q, INSTANTLY E INTO HIM. That way he won't heal off his Q and won't hurt you too much.
Back off when his passive is stacked. ”

stziswhatihave says “He alls in you? Use all-in combo.
(Q - RQ - E - Q - W)
Getting ganked? Ghost and all-in combo.”

Twist21 says “Darius is a strong 1v1 champion at all stages of the game since he is a juggernaut and has a lot of true damage on his passive.Jax is one of the champs that can 1v1 Darius at all stages of the game if you play properly.Try to bait his e and block his w with your e and you should win.If he has passive on you DO NOT go for him unless you know you can kill him.”

LulzTVit says “Darius simply is overtuned right now so he will be hard to beat.”

Steven on Jax says “Easy to outplay u just have to wait for him to make a misstake and use his spells , while on CS all in him for a short trade”

ZzZ3DemonAngelZzZ says “Darius was the HARDEST counter to Poppy, until u understand his kit. dash to him when he uses his q and q him and disengage. early game still a high thread. ”

wallobear53 says “His healing mostly comes from the edge of his Q so moving into his champion model or away from him stops him from getting the heal on the edge.
Darius' Passive stacks up over time through his Auto-attacks or his Q. Be cautious to not let it keep stacking as it will build up to a lot of damage and will be a good way to finish you off in an extended fight.
He has a strong early game skirmishing potential, so be careful as he can do a surprising amount of damage, as well as sustain himself. You may want to consider investing in Grievous Wounds to counter his sustainability.

Singed1vs9 says “Take aftershock. you'll never beat him early game unless he is a pepega.
Just farm as much as you can and take TP. Most Darius takes ghost so you have to make the most out of your TP”

DankFlyingCow says “His feared lvl 1 is no match for Kench passive. Beat him up like everyone else. He is just slighltly less likely to die at lvl 1 than everyone else”

SacaZioto says “Snowbally lane, focus on your movespeed items!
You will win if you poke him from max-range of q, which is 50 longer than his e range.
if you are hit by his e, use your e to dodge the edge.
your ult cancels his ult, so you should win most post 6 fights if not behind”

laoshin3v3 says “If darius knows how to play this matchup ur doomed, never fight him alone and always be careful about his E range. If he uses E and then R u can't ult in that little gap.”

JD the DJ says “Extremly impossible to win, is not just a Poppy counter, but a AD counter too, must ban”

Appl313245 says “Darius may seem scary but you outscale him really hard. Run grasp runes and do short trades and use e as a disengage tool. If he pulls you auto him to proc passive and e out.”
