Since every other post is about Garen, I’ll mix it up a bit: Darius is genuinely one of the most boring top laners to play against.
Every Darius plays the exact same way. You already know what I’m talking about: some level 1 bush cheese that every single Darius tries. If that doesn’t work, they just spend the first 10 minutes trying their hardest to harass and zone you off everything.
And if you play it properly, you usually give them zero kills, make their champ look useless, and maybe even pick up a couple kills on them. So at that point you’re thinking, “Alright, this guy is completely irrelevant,” and maybe you get a little cocky.
Then boom. You don’t even know what happened, but somehow he one-shots you with one item and boots while you’re sitting on two and a half items.
After that, he goes right back to being useless against you, so his entire game plan becomes ghost-flashing at your ADC until he either feeds his ass off or kills your ADC and somehow wipes your whole team.
I wish I was joking, but my last six Darius games have all played out exactly like this. It’s honestly funny.
