I mean, useless is a very relative thing, compared to more cc oriented top laners a gold-less Darius is probably "useless", but just the amount of potential free stuff in his kit allows for him to be more effective than many champions would be otherwise. If worst comes to worst and you aren't tanky at all by when you need to be, he can quite effectively just help the adc kill a tank and snowball a fight from there. He won't be super impactful most likely, but a well played Darius with his passive going is never negligable, unlike Assassins, adc's, or poke mages who lost the same amount of gold.

I prefer Gnar as my "frustrate the enemy to death" champion of choice.
