Diana Buff Ideas
TL;DR I am proposing a buff to Diana's kit that would allow her Q to cause moonlight not only on enemies hit, but also on the ground where it lands. This would allow Diana to cast her R on moonlit ground, which would increase her escape/mobility. . . . Longer Version:
I remember reading a few months ago that Diana is in queue for a rework or a buff of some kind. After playing her for a while and getting familiar with her kit, I had an idea that could make her a more viable pick both in lane and in jungle.
The biggest criticism of Diana's kit is that she has no escapes, which like all low mobility champions makes her a risky pick. This could be changed if her Q not only lit enemies with moonlight, but also lit the ground where it landed with moonlight. Her Q could then be used as a method of escape/mobility when combined with her R. For example, if she sees a potential gank and needs to get out she can launch her Q back toward her turret and R away. It would also grant her vision in bushes for a few seconds, similar to Cass's W. This would increase her viability as a pick in the jungle, because the increased mobility would allow her to hop over walls to setup for ganks or just move about more quickly, similar to Nidalee or Rek.
I think this would be fairly balanced without changing other parts of her kit, because she would still be susceptible to ganks up until level 6. After that, the player would have to be careful about how often they used her Q and R, because if either is on CD when a gank comes in then she is still an easy target. Unlike Nidalee and Rek who don't use mana, her Q and R both cost a significant amount and could not be spammed. Her kit is already setup in such a way that if she is careless with how often she casts her abilities she runs out of mana VERY quickly until she invests a lot in mana items (which in my opinion is not the best way to build her).
I personally think Diana is a really fun champion, and I think this small change would increase her visibility in competitive play.
