at least before we could've punished her bad early game. Now I get to have fun getting one shot at level 3 and on top of that her overall damage being buffed when she was already KNOWN for one shotting people as soon as she hit level 6. I'll look forward to the nerfs.
ModAcademy Kayn7 votesBut... she doesn't one shot at Level 3.
DrowningInAss1 votesmy bad, she needs to land her very easy to hit combo twice to kill you. Even Zed at level 3 has to do more.
Eedat6 votesHave you tried not walking into melee range of her at level 3? Like you were playing a champ who has the second longest base AA range in the game and youre gonna say it was the champ and not you?
DrowningInAss1 votesdon't need to walk into melee range when she has her dash to easily close the gap. Every single game I see a diana or play as diana it always ends with diana getting fed no. matter. what. Her level 6 spike pops you no matter how ahead you are, and her level 3 is enough to take half your health with just 1 engage, all she needs to do is disengage, wait for her combo again, then repeat, ignite, death. Her Q is so incredibly disjointed and easy to hit she'll basically always get to have the mark to double dash on you. You can not tell me that she isn't incredibly unhealthy. I'm shocked that for people who really hate this "one shot meta" diana can just get away with it no biggie.
option paralysis4 votesplayed her today for the first time, enemy team doing dragon in the pit, 4 of them, I ulted 1v4 and got a quadra XD balanced baby rito gems
BlackXIV4 votesIt's really nothing special, also she has to stack the passive in the right time frame and land the Q in order to do any burst. Just play around that, don't blame champions if you don't know them enough to hope to play against them.
Other midlaners/assassins are A LOT more oppressive.
Hi im 124 votesoverall damage buffed? what the fuck are you talking about my guy
DrowningInAss1 votesIf Diana pulls in one or more enemy champions, the moonlight crashes down onto her after one second, dealing 200/300/400 (+0.6 ability power) magic damage in an area around her, increased by 35/60/85 (+0.15 ability power) for each target beyond the first pulled
Diana's old ultimate, Lunar Rush, is now her new E. The cooldown is 22/20/18/16/14, as opposed to 25/20/15. The cost is 40/45/55/60/65 as opposed to 50/65/80 mana. The damage is 40/60/80/100/120 instead of 100/160/220.
basically, diana trades off about 60-100 less damage for her dash and gains 200-400 extra damage she gains with her ultimate, which scales, and does AoE damage that can blow up their entire team.
It's simple math buddy.
BlackXIV2 votesYou are disregarding the halved AP ratios on her abilities as well as ignoring that the increased damage is avoidable.
If you call in "simple math" you shouldn't mess it up
DrowningInAss1 votesHow is the increased damage avoidable when diana dashes right onto you and then pulls you in??? That's like saying you can dodge aftershock, the only reason why it exists is because CCing people make it easier for you to land it. Worst case scenario they leave the range of Diana's ult, and being forced to flash just for a 100 cooldown ult is definitely not the play. The 60% ap ratios only prove my point even more about how it only buffs her damage, especially for a champ KNOWN for one shotting people.
And diana necessarily doesn't need to just all in every time either, she can just opt to poke you down with her disjointed ass Q until you're half then decide to all in for the kill. and don't get me started on her late game, even a diana who's lost all game can put in a ton of damage and snowball, her early game is decent, her mid game is amazing, and her late game with these buffs are borderline insane.
Hi im 121 votesI mean I really cba doing the math for you but if you add all her past rework burst together and compared it to the total value of her burst now she needs to hit at least 3 people with her utlimate for the damage to be equal to what it was before, the damage is nerfed by quite a bit against a single target.
DrowningInAss1 votesdoesn't change the fact she can still kill a single target in one shot, even if her single target damage has been nerfed. Her full combo level 6 is well more than enough against the average mid laner no matter how behind she is.
Hi im 121 votesyes assassins will one shoot you if you play badly, or if they are s9 champs. her full level 6 combo isn't enough to one shoot you unless you missplay or you are the one behind though.
DrowningInAss1 votesim pretty sure especially with ignite her full combo level 6 demolishes any mid laner. Worst case scenario just poke them down a little with your Q then go for the one shot.
Hi im 121 votestell me the matchup and I'll tell you how to win it :^) general rule of thumb, if you are getting 1 shot by diana (you really shouldn't be) but if you are just take bone plating.
DrowningInAss1 votesI guess diana might as well be an s9 champ then. Especially with ignite she has such high potential to one shot level 6 and worst case scenario just poke you with Q three times then one shot. I feel like people are just praising this because diana is actually really good for once just like the garen rework but i think her mid and late game is just way too strong, and her early game isn't punishing enough.
Sir Saltarin3 votesShe's fine.
Nice rework, thank you Riot for doing something good.
Greenlightx2 votesdiana does over all less damage until late game, her team fighting is way better now, but her assassination is a bit weaker. its a fair trade, since she feels like a legit champion now. I like the changes, only problem is that zhonya is a must on her now.
