Diana's passive needs to be looked at!

Nick Rosas·Jan 15, 2015·43 votes·2,512 views

I have been playing Diana since she has been released and I noticed something. Her Passive does not show a notification on the tool bar or on the champion how many times she has auto attacked for her to deal more damage. For example, Vayne's W silver bolts mark the enemies and shows the rings under the champion, letting Vayne know how many times she needs to auto attack to complete the damage. As for Diana, I know it shows when the next auto attack will deal more damage, but that also needs to have a timer. A timer shown on the toolbar. A notification.

she needs one like master yi has. a simple grayed out icon of her passive with the number of auto's, switching to the colored icon when she performs 2 AA's.

Nick RosasJan 15, 20159 votes

YES!! Exactly! She NEEDS it! I completely agree!

AerialRushJan 16, 20152 votes

And when it becomes colored it should have a timer of how long it lasts before wearing off!

I do agree that she needs a timer at least for the tool bar. But for now, I don't know if you noticed, but her sickle glows when her next strike is going to proc her passive.

Yeah I am completely aware of when her sickle glows but it needs to have a timer. Or a countdown til when Diana players need to auto attack before the passive goes away.

Maokai has a buff counter. No reason Diana cant have something similar.

Noc has a timer on the passive itself and always has TF has a counter for his E Diana's weird for not

Diana glows when she has two auto attacks stacked before she releases the third empowered one. A visible counter would be convenient though. :p

Agree agree. She needs something like the passive of Annie , whenever she use her abilities, we can see that how much charges she has until she can trigger the stun.

So, Diana also must have something like this little one.

Right?

I was thinking something more like Yi's passive, since it does fade away after not attacking for a couple of seconds, but yeah, no reason at all Diana can't have one.

While I feel you on the need for a timer, that isn't the thing i think needs fixed about her passive. I think they need to remove the 20% AS and give her some more base AS. The way it is current gimps her AS scaling and makes Nashors a worse purchase than it should be.

PrinceArchieJan 15, 20151 votes

Could you elaborate on this statement, specifically with some sort of mathematical reasoning? I'm actually curious why you think the 20% attack speed on her passive is essentially inhibiting her.

The reason this is punishing is while yes it does give you some more attack speed at level 1 Having higher base attack speed would be better.. why? Well because all the attack speed you buy is based on your base attack speed

Examples of how it works A 200% bonus attack speed 0.5 base attack speed 3*0.5=1.5 attack speed

B 100% bonus attack speed with 0.75 base attack speed 2*0.75=1.5 attack speed

So in the first case **A **you have 200% bonus attack speed and yet you only get as much as case **B **which only has 100% bonus attack speed this is because base attack speed matters a lot

I never understood why they gave an attack speed factor to Diana's passive while intentionally lowering her base attack speed to hilariously low amounts. It just defeats the purpose of the passive buff altogether.

Champion SkinJan 16, 20151 votes

Well the only reason I can think of is we want you to have some attack speed at level 1 to clear the jungle but we don't want you to build anymore attack speed

PrinceArchieJan 16, 20151 votes

Very good point

AerialRushJan 16, 20151 votes

I just bought Diana, she is so fun to play, and it was the very first thing I noticed! Riot has been talking about creating clarity in the game and I feel this would greatly help Diana players. I know that there is a crescent under her that grows as you reach your third auto-attack but it's pretty hard to see, I feel that should be more pronounced. The most important thing is that a time indicator notification should be created that shows how much time is left before the passive wears off if you don't auto attack in time. I was about to make a thread exactly about this.

OnanThaManJan 16, 20151 votes

If anything they'll do something like that whenever they give her a gameplay update/rework. It'd be nice but not something that needs to be done.

The EcdysiastJan 16, 20151 votes

Agreed

Solidair3Jan 16, 20151 votes

I don't think she needs a count, 3 is such a low number, but a timer would be welcome and probably help newer Diana players.

RogueWillJan 16, 20151 votes

You glow when your next attack will proct your passive. but I guess master yi and annie has one and so does riven q so qhy not give diana one as well.

Stars ShaperJan 16, 20151 votes

XinZhao Doesn't have it either.

And visually your weapon glows when the time comes the same way Aatrox sword does.

A Bare MagicianJan 16, 20151 votes

Good idea. I like a little change like that, it would be nice to know how long you have for it.

Celeste BenalJan 16, 20151 votes

Yah, agreed.

HizsooJan 16, 20151 votes

She already have different animations for all 3 basic attacks and the timer resets after 3,5 second. That should be enough. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Diana
