How to play melee vs. ranged?

Ionian Vulpix··1 votes·729 views

Want to play Diana mid since she can't do that well in the jungle right now, but not sure how to play against someone ranged who can shove me in quickly and roam (Twisted Fate is the example that comes to mind solely because he was the last one I played against with her)

And can Diana do well in top? May not have that much roam potential, but can still farm well and scale up.

shove early with W and passive, dodge their skillshots

he shouldn't be able to harras you with AA that much if you have creep advantage

When you feel you're taking too much damage from their harrass, just back off and give up cs. xp > cs early game. when you're 6 they shouldn't be able to come close to you.

Watch some S Diana 2 gameplay

she is fine top, but your kill potential is way lower up there.

Don't waste your mana on W'ing to push, it's not worth.

use it to block aa and push at the same time...

I'd rather not take autos just so I can push. I get the same amount of cs if I wait for it, and then W as I go up to hit it, and pushing exposes you to ganks and being zoned completely

Get what CS you can and take as little damage as you can, and use your abilities to do so. If zoned, just farm with your Q. Once you get your 6(gapcloser), start taking trades.
