diana's rework should make more use of the moonlight debuff

{quoted}

She won't need a rework if this patch goes well, is what im saying. Her Passive got a mini rework, Her Q was buffed, her W was buffed, and her E was changed.

I don't think you understand the significance of a rework. Riot will only resort to a rework if a champion literally has no hopes of being balanced with just numerical changes (like Urgot, Eve, Galio). By buffing her, and changing her passive up, riot is showing that they're still playing around with her.

Diana isn't supposed to have more mobility with her ult; because she's a diver, not an assassin. Her W and Passive provide her with enough Sustained damage (next patch more than ever since she'll be able to proc it more)

I'm not saying she doesn't need a rework, but it's too early to tell. I've mained her for years and have almost 400k mastery pts throughout my 3 accounts, a champion doesn't need a rework just because they're lackluster, because some, like me, might find them fun (and hopefully riot will prioritize the opinions of those who main her and actually play her, rather than those who may just play her every once in a few weeks).

I'm still bothered how they didn't just go for some simple numerical changes

As much as I enjoy the look of the changes(a new form of skill expression in form spell spacing to get most possible AS out of her passive makes me happy)

It would've been simpler to remove the AS bonus on her passive(or reduce it), increase her base AS so she scales better with attack speed

Mana regen/mana pool buff could've been nice, or at least dropping early mana cost on(which is happening thankfully)

Not much else honestly, she's overall solid in lane and jungle as long as you are good at her. In some certain match ups she can even survive top lane.

(like Urgot, Eve, Galio)

I have been summoned to defend M'lady!!

Oh, I'm sure they will :/ kappa

She IS getting a rework, whether you think she needs one or not. Riot already said she is, and these are just balance changes to hold her over until it's her turn. Better come to terms with it now.

forget it... All point and clic will be reworked. That's say most divers need to be reworked. There no game where u wan't Diana more than another divers, and just this is enough to rework her.

Riot specifically said that these changes are intended to put Diana in a better position until her ACTUAL rework, which riot has said they WILL do in the future. It's not a matter of if they will or not, because they already said they will. These changes are to put her in a better spot until then.

Btw, the 'reworks' you listed, are all full VGU updates, not small scale reworks. The changes she is getting are on nearly the same level as Rek'sai, Rammus, and Aatrox. Aatrox specifically got his changes to PUT HIM IN A BETTER SPOT until his EVENTUAL full rework, just like Diana right now.

Edit: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/2WWRYInA-quick-gameplay-thoughts-june-30 As far as Meddler is concerned, they are EXPECTING to do a bigger rework for her, and again, these changes are to tide her over. Whether you want to believe it or not, Diana needs a damn rework. Just because you main her and are personally okay with her, doesn't mean that she is OK.

She has always had the problem of being a Diver/Assassin that doesn't know what she wants to be. She created as a Diver, and played as an Assassin. Now, with the new items and anti-burst potential, Assassin Diana isn't as good as it used to be, and building her as a fighter for a more duelist and diver heavy playstyle isn't that good anyway. Her intended roles, itemization, and kit do not mesh well together atm. This more or less forces her to be everyone of these at the same time, and excel at none, which is not healthy. is her current build highest % win build on champion.gg, and this is honestly close to what I build on her myself. This build gives her extremely high burst, strong dueling power, and tankiness. Even with this build, her winrate (taken from plat) for mid is 46.58% and for jg it is 44.25%.

Diana needs help, a lot of it, and whether you like it or not, needs a larger scale rework than the changes she is currently getting.

From Meddler's Friday post:

Diana

As you'll see on the PBE today we're continuing to explore Diana changes in testing. Those aren't intended to be a full fix for Diana's issues (we still expect to do a small update to her gameplay at some point), but are instead intended to put her in a better spot until then. We think it's likely the eventual direction for Diana includes auto attacking as a meaningful part of her kit, so one of the things we're looking it is ways to make that higher impact later in the game.

It's not just a case of Riot not being sure whether her PBE changes will fix her and prevent a future rework, they don't even intend for these changes to get her where she needs to be. As others have said, this is just a bandaid fix to get her in a slightly better place until they have time to focus on her and give her an actual update.

It's not going to be a full rework - she isn't that messed up - it will be a small update like Heimer, Rek'Sai, Kindred, etc.
