Hi, I'm AetherPhoenix, a Diana main from OCE. This is my first boards post, although I have frequently browsed the posts of others. I found myself kind of upset when I saw Meddler (in his most recent gameplay thoughts) saying that they were going to give Diana a mini rework in the future, mainly because I didn't want the things I love about Diana to be removed/changed, so I thought I'd make a list of the things that I like the most about Diana, for all (hopefully rioters) to see: • Her tanky style assassin gameplay - this for me is probably number one, and the reason I play Diana over other assassins. • The almost 100% uptime on her burst combo due to low cooldown, resettable ultimate. • The way she can deal with mobile squishes like Lucian and Vayne, thanks to her ultimate resets and e. • Her lategame power to deal with lifesteal carries (via huge burst.) • Her sustained damage via passive. Those are my top five, Diana players, please post yours in the comments below.

I am a Diana main too, and I too enjoy all of the characteristics that you listed - especially the fact that Diana is a strong counter to most assassins and hypermobile carries, which I think should stay as one of her special niches.

tsc xD she doesn't need a rework really, this whole talk about her viability is stupid, Diana is either losing hard or winning hard, well it might be becasue she aquires something completely different, which if you are a good Diana main you can carry and perform well. Ofc everyone can lose but the whole problem with Diana is she has no escape and her situation on mid is a struggle for some players but im not crying I have played her since her release and I don't see a change which is neccessary because a rework might just make the skill to play her decrees and so on people will play her more becasue she is "strong" and "viable" which she already is but whatever.. go Rework the champs for no reason, just saying she doesn't need one, but the players need a rework because they have no skill and thus she is hard so cut the crap and play malph if you want free elo...

But well nice post though, good luck with it, I'll keep being against a rework because players need this kind of challenge, I love playing Diana because It feels good as she is right now (perfect) Oh right :) riot doesn't care just as they did with Katarina and all mains had to work hard to get to their feet again, champions in games like this should not be reworked following one simple logical answer... Reworks can also just come out as worse than before Example: 0.5% pick rate on Urgot and Quinn 1.8% pick rate (reworked), mordekaiser 1.5 pick rate (reworked), Corki 0.9% pick rate (reworked), so they need reworks too? Diana has 3.2 pick rate sure its low but there are champions who really needs a rework and Diana is not one of them: Garen, Mundo, Master Yi and Jax.
