Worst case scenario is that your team doesn't know how to peel for you. In this scenario, you pretty much just have to hang way in the back until Diana either dies or uses her spells on someone else. If she's saving her spells for you and doesn't use them on someone else for whatever reason, then you've basically removed her from the fight.

The best case scenario is that you have a support with great peel such as Leona, though.

Another thing I'd like to add is that it may be a good idea to replace your standard build with some anti assassin items such as replacing Shiv/Rapid with PD and replacing BT with Death's Dance when playing against a Diana who's targeting you.

item 3102 You are a ADC vs a burst champion, they are trying to kill you. So yes stay back or build against them.

Staying back and hitting the tanks for free damage (even if it is not so useful, it's still free) until Diana has spent her gap closer. #FixedThatForYou Only then close in and focus the high-priority target. If Diana refuses to spend her gap closer, then well done, you have one less carry dealing damage on their team, while you are still damaging their tanks.

If you are not an adc with self peel it's pretty much just hex drinker and positioning/waiting for her to blow CDs.

Dodging Q will help a ton all though this isn't possible 100% of the time. Also picking mobile adcs with a dash will help against Diana as well. Someone like Lucian or maybe self peel like Vayne with her E. Other than that if you do get stuck playing something immobile in the ADC role communicate with your support and team and have them realize that with Diana in the game you are gonna need some hard CC on her and good peel to stay alive and be useful.

I think positioning helps a lot. Diana is only scary if she is on you. If you are able to stay in the back where she can't reach you, she wudn't be a worry.
