Finally someone who isn't QQing about his ultimate when they have a problem with him. I agree with you. It's hard to trade him on any melee due to all the free stuff he gets in every ability and level including the attackspeed slow. Why does every abililty do more than one thing? His ultimate is fine imo. (Yes, I own him) When I jungle darius in ranked match, I build Frozen Mallet and a Bloodthirster with Ninja Tabbi. I usually dont get to build anything else cuz the game ends by then. I just ghost into a gank, E, W, Q and the adc/support/mid/jungler is dead. If its top I ult and walk away. The main porblem is his Q. 4 second cooldown, usually does about 20% of the enemy HP. I dont even use my ult for the kill. I use my Q for it. My combo is just E, W, Q, R, Q. and that kills anyone. His Q needs a tiny nerf, and His ultimate's passive needs to be changed. It shouldnt be automatically refreshed. I have gotten way too many Penta's and Quadra's that way. Perhaps it should be "If the target is killed the cooldown is changed to 10/8/6" or even "If the target is killed, the cooldown is reset once but this can only be done 1/1/2 times within 25/20/15 seconds." That way there's always that second Ult hit if you time it right, or if you space out your Striking and Chasing correctly you can get your ult off 3 or 4 times in a single encounter.

I play darius occasionaly and I never lose as him because I go jungle with ghost. I just run in, Pull, Slow, and they are already doomed. In top however, he can get countered so bad. I've been shut down by Garen's (THERES AN OP CHAMP) RIven's, Fiora, and Jax as well as a few others. The main problem with Darius like stated above is, if you don't know what your doing, he will Feed off of you and snowball easily. It's as simple as that. Don't let someone inexperianced lane against Darius and you should be fine.
