Kill him and then you won ' t have to deal with him for the next 2040 seconds during lane phase . Rinse and repeat . Real answer is to dodge his q ' s , either to dash into him to reduce dmg heal or run away , he is easy to beat if you just play calm and focus on dodging around his Q , Not saying it ' s easy but that ' s how . Others say play ranged champs which work but honestly , Irelia can beat darius hard you just have to go ALL in when he tries to q , Q to him instantly save E til he auto w auto ' s you for the stun . <| sep |> we are all going to have a rough four years . <| sep |> You mean this post ?
