Compared to something like having to perfectly cast Lay Wastes to hit a moving target or constantly micromanaging Orianna's ball in a huge teamfight, learning something as trivial as the blade range on Q is not hard at all.

I didn't say escaping as Darius is necessarily easy, but it is painfully simple. Walk away, or at least try to. That's about as simple as escapes get. Even Garen has more innate gameplay and counterplay in his escape as he should be careful about timing his Q and W to maximise their crowd control reduction. At least Darius has a movespeed boost from his passive. The only champion I imagine that has less innate mobility gameplay than him there is Mordekaiser.
