Diana with Runic Echoes Feedback.
TL;DR IS AT THE BOTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
So, I just played a game as jungle Diana with Runic Echoes.
And... I'm surprised. Diana with Runic Echoes is actually really, really, strong. The most bizarre thing was that Diana of all the ap junglers liked sheen/runeglaive the most, but I felt much stronger with Runic Echoes now. (Even though Runeglaive DID get nerfed to hell and back.)
I had the
and an
at about 14 minutes in, and a 15 minutes in I was able to absolutely evaporate the enemy Fiddlesticks with just a QWR. Twice. I didn't even need to cast ult twice. I was only 2/1 with one assist at this point. (So 4/1/1 after the two Fiddle kills.) I know Diana is known for her burst damage and Fiddle's is squishy... but if you've played Diana, she doesn't one shot with one rotation unless she's fed until she has... THREE big items.
After that, I really took off. I was able to one shot pretty much anyone, even the Poppy. Later on, with a RWEQ I was able to oneshot the Anivia and Vayne. Not even bother with the Q reset. My last kill of the match, I oneshot the Fiddle with an R -> Q. I ended the game 13/8/5. My build was
by the time the game was over. I bought
while in death but the game was over before I respawned.
Just... wow. I got fed and all, but I'm seriously so hype, because honestly, Runic Echoes (Runic Echoes + Thunderlord's?) felt really, really good. I suggest to everyone to just go full burst Diana, basically a full assassin build. Don't bother with a Nashor's and don't even bother with Lich Bane. The mana sustain from Runic Echoes isn't AS good as Runeglaive's was, but it will suffice, and you'll be basically one shotting camps by mid game anyways.
**TL;DR: Runic Echoes is actually really good on Diana. Negative side: you might be forced into a full burst Diana build with the way Runic Echoes works. Plus side: the full burst build is DAMN strong. And the mana sustain from Runic Echoes is strong enough that you don't need to buy a mana item, and you can one shot jungle camps mid game. **
