Diana - Life in Moonlight
Hey everyone!
I am someone who has played since beta. I play on and off and every season I change my main roles. None of that matters! I am here to talk about DIana and what I expect of her.
For Diana to be a proper assassin she needs the ability to get in and do her job. So we expect a dash. She will also need the ability to get out or survive a fight. So we expect some form of escape. We also want to build in some counter play as well as make sure the enemy can understand when she is most powerful. On those notes, here are some of my ideas.
Passive: Diana permanently has 20% bonus attack speed. Every 3rd attack cleaves nearby enemies for magic damage. The counter will reset if Diana hasn't attacked for 3.5 seconds.
Diana no longer has mana. Instead she has a resource called Lunar Strength. When full she can user her ult. (She now starts the game with her ult unlocked) Diana gains Lunar Strength with her basic attacks and spells.
Q: Active: Diana unleashes a bolt of lunar energy that travels in an arc. Enemies struck take magic damage and are afflicted with Moonlight, granting sight of them for 3 seconds. Your other spells on that target will consume Moonlight and restore some Lunar Strength.
Lunar Strength Bonus: Diana dashes towards the end point of the Crescent Strike. Enemies passed through take damage.
W: Active: Diana reveals and draws in all nearby enemies to her location, dealing damage and slowing them for 2 seconds.
Lunar Strength Bonus: Diana gains a shield deals damage to nearby enemies afflicting them with Moonlight. Your other spells on that target will consume Moonlight and restore some Lunar Strength.
E: Active: Diana becomes the living embodiment of the vengeful moon, rushing at an enemy and dealing magic damage to it.
Lunar Strength Bonus: Dash at an enemy to deal high magic damage and increase damage taken by the target by 15% for 5 seconds.
R: Active: Diana consumes all of her Lunar Strength to activate the Lunar Strength Bonus of the last spell she cast within 5 seconds.
Passive : +Spell Vamp and + Lifesteal while Lunar strength is full.
Alright, I have not had a lot of time to refine this design. I just thought of it while at lunch. Let me know what you think. I am looking for feedback to improve this design concept. I understand the wording is not spot on and will need to be fixed but I think you are able to get the idea.
