His attack speed is slow as fuck, his q doesn't give a stack or have a good ratio in melee range and his sustain is dependent on hitting champion with the outer part of it. There are champions whose kit allows them to trade with him way too efficiently like Renekton and Riven cause they are manaless, just go in, do some damage, stun and run away before Darius can pull them, there are skill match-ups, there are obnoxious ranged match-ups and then there are champions that just lose the trades, like Garen and a bunch of others with more simplistic kits than Darius's.

You just have to accept the fact that counter picks in League exist, regardless of what Rito says or wants. Darius is straight up garbage mid-late game most of the time with all the kiting (thanks to new champs, new Rylai's and % cdr in every item). His laning used to be his strong point but now his counters have increased in number due to his dependence on his passive and longer trades cause of nerfed base damages on q and w. For example, he used to beat Riven most of the time but now she just destroys him cause q is worthless against her and his damage is based on his ratios and his passive.

If you had a bad game, don't just take it out on the champion. Immobile melees are the most balanced characters in the game right now. There are so many other things that need attention, it's not even funny
