Very Easy matchup for Darius, Ever time he tries to q e you, counter it with pull auto w q, then he hard loses the trade. ALSO rush bramble vest and tabis. aatrox will do no damage if you rush these items first.
Garen
One of Darius's Easiest matchups, Every time u see a garen just lock in darius. Its really hard for garen to do anything to you, your kit hard counters his. You outdamage him at any stage in the game and you are also a better teamfighter as well.
Gwen
NEVER play darius into gwen, its actually an unplayable matchup. you cant ever land a q because she has a million dashes and a free windwall fro m her w, and she also is tanky and does true damage on her q. she also outscales you. just dodge if you see a gwen honestly.
Vayne
Another really hard matchup for darius, The only way to win this matchup is killing her with your powerspike ninga tabis and stridebreaker. If you kill her enough times and get her behind, you can be more useful in teamfights. But if you dont kill her and she just free farms, she heavily outscales you and you cant do anything about it. Veterans darius players can win this matchup. If you are new to darius, i heavily suggest not to play darius into vayne.
Wukong
wukong is hard but there is counterplay, everytime he jumps on you with his e, you can pull him and then q right after. i recommend rushing armor agianst wukong. it lowers his damage he does to you even though his q gives armor penetration.
Renekton
renekton is a skill matchup, your kits do similar things. as darius though, you have to play around his fury stacks and fight him when he dosent have any stacks of fury. rush tabis agianst renekton. You do outscale renekton so you can farm agianst him, but hes very oppresive in lane with PTA and ignite so i would be very cautious laning agianst renekton as darius. this matchup takes practice, so playing games will help you alot.
Yasuo
Darius is a very good counter to yasuo, yasuos windwall is useless agianst darius and darius runs yasuo down with ease if hes stronger. I would be careful level 1 and 2 though. Yasuo could actually kill darius with ignite then if he plays it correctly. because remember, yasuos e is a dash so if darius q's yasuo can just e into darius and negate the healing and damage you will do.
Camille
Darius beats camille early, but she outscales him. Camille can be very opressive early as well if she takes ignite tp, so be cautious. but i like this matchup because darius e counters camille e, if camille tries to e, darius can pull mid air and stop it completely. it will take some practice but overall it is a skill matchup. camille has 2 abilities that can dodge your q, so good luck!
Yuumi
I have duoed with so many yuumi's, and by far the darius and yuumi combo is my favorite. Yuumi takes down all of Darius's weaknesses and makes him almost unkillable. if she takes Shurelya's Reverie, darius gets a burst of movement speed and is unkiteable with stridebreaker and ghost as well. very fun combo, i highly recommend finding a friend to play yuumi for you :)
Zilean
Zilean isnt as good with darius as with yuumi, but its still a good option. he speeds you up, gives you free levels, and a free revive when you get low. I like when people play zilean support, i think its a great pick to deal with assassins and heavy dive comps.
Ivern
Ivern is an ok combo with darius, he provides nice shields and is a support jungler, my problem is ivern jg does not do anything early, so most of the time my ivern gets hard jg diffed and enemy jg gets objectives. If the meta wasnt as snowbally, ivern would be a better champ, but sadly hes not that great.
Zed
In my opinion, I think zed dosent work very well with darius. Zed makes the comp full AD and he does not provide any sort of cc to help darius kill the enemy team faster. Zed is a good champ for snowbally, but in lower elo, that really dosent matter because throws happen much more there and scaling champs are just better. Yasuo, Yone, Qiyana are all better AD champs with darius, they provide cc and more damage late game, i just cannot recommend zed.
Kindred
probably one of the worst combos in the game. Its actually anti synergy. If you try to kill someone thats very low, but your kindred is low too, you are gonna press r into nothing because if kindred presses r, It actually helps the enemy team and lets them live LOL. i dont ever like playing kindred with darius. its not a very good combo and there are better top laners to play with kindred.
