Yeah poking him out of lane is easier said than done though, like you mention Gnar is ideal for it, Kennen also has good enough disengage to escape the grab of death while being quite an annoyance. Another couple of ranged champs that can work well are Heimerdinger and Kayle, being able to outdamage Darius with turrets and zoning, and being able to survive the all in + maintaining harass respectively.

I usually play melee champs top which can make things much harder, but tanks like Shen, Mundo and Zac can farm safely and scale with hp, I actually smashed a couple of Darius recently with the buffed version of Mundo, but it wouldn't work against good players, they just didn't expect me to all in them level 2 with Mundo, and snowball from there.
