Not understanding trades on Darius, always losing
Well first things first I want to see that I'm fairly new to him, and I really enjoy his playstyle and have gotten some insane quadra, triple, and like two pentakills since picking him up. But there is something about trading in laning phase that I'm not understanding. I've watched hour long guides, I've probably scrolled through hundreds of reddit posts about how to trade on him and it's still not clicking in-game. I'm always seeing "darius damage is backloaded, take extended trades and win the fight" which I get and understand due to the AD bonus you get from noxian might. Or the idea that darius lvl1 is super strong. Like just before I post this I played a game against a volibear, I traded level 1, got noxian might, and still lost the trade because of his ignite. Lane was insta over.
Even against other champions, I almost always feel like I'm playing on the back end, and my all ins feel so terrible, and I almost always either end the trade with less HP or just die. I'm a plat 3/4 player and I've dropped all the way to G2 on this account because 80% of the time I'm the one losing laning phase. It feels incredibly frustrating to attempt these long trades and still lose them anyway. Maybe I'm in my head too much about Darius being "the lane bully" and forcing really bad trades when they have all abilities up or summs.
Please don't tell me to just "quit him" because I really do enjoy his playstyle and I can absolutely dominate teamfights which are my main motivation to keep playing him because I see the potential but my laning phase absolutely sucks.
Thanks once again.
