I think that a healthy change to Diana could be to make the sheild value on her w scale from bonus health rather than ability power to differentiate assassin Diana from brusier Diana. An assassin shouldn't have a superpower sheild like Diana does but Diana is meant to be a bruiser so health scaling could be an option to keep the sheild value high for a tanky Diana.
Moon Mom2 votesI respectfully disagree with this as a Diana one trick with 700k mastery points.
Diana goes in, and does not go out. She's not like zed, fizz, akali, etc. She has no escapes.
She builds AP because it is a central core in her kit around dealing consistent high damage with no escapes. If you change the shield to HP she'll just build ROA, Rylias, Frozen heart, sunfire, and become the new tank ekko. Lets not let that happen, please and thank you.
Rozair1 votesI main Diana as well. Upon release of Diana she was considered a bruiser. Diana was made into am assassin due to no ap brusier items existing. Diana is much tankier than any other assassin due to her inability to escape. With some small tweaking she could easily become a bruiser instead.
Angry Monster1 votesactually she wasnt, she was played mid originally in pro play by SCarra
Moon Mom1 votesIf you watch the Diana champion spotlight it says clearly she is played as both.
Restless Slumber1 votesHow is Diana unhealthy? She's quite balanced right now, and quite frankly has some of the most counterplay out of all of the assassins.
Brahmsauce1 votesYea she's in a good spot at the moment. Even with the new changes to the items, she'll easily get an extra +20% CDR at the cost of about 40 AP, I love building abyssal and zhonyas for her. (though you can drop the cdr blues and get scaling ap blues so like its only a loss of like 12-18 ap really...and I also like building nashors.. so easy 40% cdr for diana wooo!..but a bunch of other mages are looking super OP unfortunately. :^( )
Stick In Mudd1 votesShe is considered an assassin by Riot. But she is a one-way assassin; she can get to her target, but she can't get back out. This makes her different than other assassins. This means that she needs some sort of survival tool; therefore her shield.
Assassin's build glass cannon, so her shield scales with AP. If it scales with health, then she would no longer be an assassin, and no longer have any survival with an AP build, and she would be popped each time she goes in.
The only way I can conceive this change happening, is if they scale it with health, BUT have it with high base numbers and low ratio values.
Wînter Fox1 votesNope. Leave my AP Riven alone
