A good darius wont be afraid of your shit. His damage output from 1-3 compared to you is debatable. You gotta stay in range to do damage but he puts stacks on you which is just as painful as flamespitter. 4 to 5 you do good damage to him but he does STUPID damage to you and if you want to get your damage off, you need to get in his kill range where he can grab you, slow you, and bleed your ass to death with an ignite ontop of it. Post 6 it's suicidal to fight him. You can kill him but he will kill you in the process unless he misses his fucking spinning axe and his little grab skill.

If you bait his grab and his axe you can punish and trade pretty well.

If he catches you because you need to be in melee range to properly and efficiently CS then you are completely fucked for that trade and you need to W out.

If you go balls deep at near full hp and him at half while at level 6 he will say "LOL FUCK YOUR SHIT IM DARIUS" and just spam every spell possible on you for 5 stacks of bleed, ult you for half your HP then ignite. You'll kill him maybe if he didn't do it fast enough but he'll get you always in the process.

Trouble is, darius is really bursty and has fuck tons of DoT and he has different types of damage while the only downside bieng on a very short range.

Rumble has constant DPS with a short effective range made for bullying and short skirmishes.

Darius I believe wins in terms of matchups since rumble can't CS without risking his life.
