Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Darius and who Darius beats
Darius looks terrifying, and up close he is, but the whole package has one giant hole: no dash and no gap closer beyond Apprehend, his short range hook. If he cannot get his hands on you, he does nothing. The way to beat Darius is to disrespect his range, poke him down before he can stack his bleed, and never get pinned against a wall where his pull keeps you locked in melee. Champions with reliable ranged poke, a dash to escape the Apprehend, or enough early damage to win the short trades before his Noxian Might stacks tend to make his life miserable. When you pick Darius, you are accepting that mobile and ranged enemies will kite you, so look for matchups where they are forced to come to you.
