@Meddler Why doesn't new Diana passive have any flat amount of mana restore?
It seems that balance team wants to push Diana more into a fighter, but it's hard to imagine an AS reliant fighter that doesn't ever build some AD. New Diana restores 15% AP worth of mana when her passive procs, without flat value. Which means she can't realistically rush ad item (say, toplane Diana rushing
) without running OOM.
I think that if Diana is to have viable fighter paths, she shouldn't be punished that hard on mana for buidling
or
, AP itemization simply doesn't offer what AD does for fighters.
Now, I don't want or expect Diana to be turned into AD champion, but I think that she should have some option to build AD (say, AP/HP items and Maw to top it off) if she is supposed to be a diver, kind of like Morde does. Having her mana restore completely reliant on AP pretty much prevents that.
despite the fact that her passive should count as a damaging spell. Same with Galio's passive too, neither proc the tooth life drain.
