Your "counters" list is sort of missing Kennen - an unorthodox top-lane pick these days, but still works just as well as it did in season one. Darius particularly is totally screwed vs him - you can ranged-poke the hell out of him (just max Q first), and if he wants to get close, either lightning-rush away, or lightning rush and let him grab you - you have a resists bonus and he gets a mark of the lightning for his troubles. Then you just W and Q his ass, then proceed to either ult-kill him while he's already stunned (and will get stunned again before the first one wears off), or walk away and repeat the whole cycle again.
