diana/kass/akali are worse to lane against than pantheon

just a thought. if you're ap. and enemy picks kassadin. well your just gonna have a fun time because he has teleport and those deathfire point and click Qs are gonna come in off cooldown. and oh any damage you trade with him is just mostly absorbed by his shield.

Diana now gains mana if she crescent strikes. for those who don't know. Diana has the highest base stats in the game. and what kept her weak before is that she runs too oom and gets poked out

the problem right now is that diana doesn't go oom. has good base damages and is so damn tanky. you cannot force her out of lane.

for those asking how great were those buffs? well lets just say her winrate went from 46% to 52%. middle of the pack in playrate.

tanky ass mid laners that somehow had the old weakness of getting poked down in lane now are the opposite. they poke you down in lane and eventually force you out while having teleport advantage. and you most likely took a defensive summoner so you don't get one shot at level 6. and they are still outlaning you.

I have no idea who thought just straight up buffing a champion as toxic as diana without any drawbacks. same goes for akali. lets have these old ass kits that have inherently very toxic gameplay. slap a whole lot of sustain. basically REMOVE the only weakness they had in lane. and expect them to be fun to play against? aw hell no. am done playing lanes. am going back to the crappy jungle that you've ruined. its still better than this shit.

tanky as fuck assassins. Akali Kassadin Diana

by the way. all these toxic kits have about 52% winrate. in which they never have. because such abomination of kits should never allowed be consistently strong.

I havent played mid in a while but lanning against Diana and Kass was always a bad experince, but why is akali on ur list?

she is pretty trash pre-6 where most the lanning phase happens, she gets scary after she hits 6ix and starts roaming hunting down kills.

because her ner W gives her a dash and lasts longer. also her sustain is two fold now

Even if you do win trades pre-6 she just heals back up with q+passive, so technically you lose every single trade, making her laning actually good??? idk what im saying right now but it sounds right.

YES. this is the point of this whole thread. these champions WEAKNESS by design WAS supposed to be getting poked out in lane by harass. all of that is gone. because diana can spam shield all the time cuz no mana issues. kassadin became the harasser. and akali just heals back up to full whenever u freakin trade with her.

Diana:

  1. Juke Q post 6, or watch where your minions are going to die. That is her Q path to avoid poke early. Walk counter clockwise to dodge it.

  2. Her shield is 10 second cd early game. Use this window to trade with her. After the shield is down you're free to AA, or harass. This works great with cassio, yasuo, etc.

  3. Play bruisers into her or control mages. Irelia, renekton, Jax, Darius, vladimir, malzahar, syndra, ori are all examples of champs that give her a bad time early on.

  4. Play around her R cooldown and Watch for Q debuff on minions.

She's binary and straightforward. I get that her burst is frustrating, but she won't 100-0 you level 6. She needs to poke you a bit first. She also needs to commit to an all in, so she's free food for your jungler by setting up a bait. Unlike kassadin with his low ult cooldown, or akali with her stealth.
