It's not that Darius "falls off," late game, as his actual ability scalings and base stat scaling are really strong. The thing about Darius, is that as an immobile bruiser, he can be mechanically outscaled by other champs. That's why I make mobility a priority on him- Movespeed Quints, fleet of foot mastery, and damage items like Tri Force/ BotRK/ Ghostblade/ Mercurial Scimitar.

I also like to take Flash + Ghost, with distortion boot enchants, into most matches. The only time i'll trade ghost for Teleport is when the enemy team has a strong dedicated split pusher I'll need to be dealing with. With that said, Ghost + Flash Darius is REALLY good at teamfighting and split pushing, and I think it's worth giving up the lane pressure of having Ignite or Exhaust.
