Diana

JTOC·May 12, 2015·2 votes·1,778 views

Can we figure out why Diana isn't played wayyy more? I seem to dominate almost every game, even in some games getting two penta's. She has insane burst and lockdown AND does more than zed... Zed burst one adc PLUS if they buy QSS, his ult is over. Diana seems to just do everything so well and she is even fairly tanky. Her mid lane game is extremely strong and bursty especially at lvl 6 and her Jungle clear and sustain is as good as warwick... where am I going wrong as to why she isn't played way more?

The first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

Diana is just that REALLY underplayed extremely strong champ that only a select people who know how to play her and im just hoping she doesnt become popular like Zed or Ahri

bitch is op as fuck, i was playing ap ezreal and she came to lane with a ludens an 100-0 me on the spot seriously wtf, then anytime i ran into her or if she was in a bush id die in .2 seconds i dont think anyone has killed me that fast without being able to do anything. we won the game cause i avoided her an killed her with long range skillshots while she was exhausted by janna. but my god was her damage silly.

I Champion Diana at times. Wonder what sort of summoner 7 spells you might carry for her. As a support most of the time I play with other spells to support my team. Wonder then if I might be with the wrong spells. Hope you do not mind if you should share your information of the spells you carry with Diana if I were to compare them with mobafire site.

yea man! i actually run summoner 4 summoner 14 on her in the mid lane however i play her in the jungle more. better sustain and farm. then of course i go summoner 11 and sometimes if we dont have a good tower taker i run summoner 12 . did u want my masteries and runes too? because id be more than glad to help a Diana friend!

FuryofThornsRedoMay 13, 20151 votes

I have read some other information as to maybe the skill of stacking is the better option than the have some everywhere with he masteries. As with the runes, same thing stack certain levels. Maybe only magic resist, armor penetration, ability speed? Though the uneven level of stacking was noted.

Not saying yours are not good to know. Helping you defend and keep away from those you will compete against, but the information was not shared here. Good Luck! The spells are helpful. From: FuryofThornsRedo

Two pentas? I've only able to get a quadra with her. Lucky. I never seem to get that penta.

JTOCMay 13, 20151 votes

Because she's very feast or famine. At her core if you take a look at what Diana brings to the table, she's either a dive bruiser or dive assassin, depending on your build. How does she stack up to her competition?

Either you build assassin and your proc-every-three-attacks passive won't be that effective because you aren't sticking around long enough to proc it very many times or you build bruiser and you'll get peeled because all you can really do effectively is stick (Which can be avoided by dodging Q) and deal damage.

Now, I'll be clear, she does this well. The only problem I have is justifying using her over Rengar and Nocturne. She has less utility and her burst, while impressive, isn't unique. Rengar and Nocturne can burst people to pieces.

I haven't played Noc in forever, but I agree with you on the point. However, I favor Diana over them because of her Moonfall. I play with friends a lot, and we run Orianna, J4, and Sej a lot. I can easily dive in first, and group them up for those huge ultimates.

WTH are u talking about shes always being used

Troy242621May 13, 20151 votes

Not really, she's just not a very good champion. Entirely too outclassed.

JTOCMay 14, 20151 votes

S Diana 2 isnt outclassed lol

SnugglePuggle94May 19, 20151 votes

She's not outclassed. One of the best champs in the game, and a very good champion.

straight4freeMay 13, 20151 votes

She isn't safe, and pre-6 she can be bullied as she doesn't have absurdly low cooldowns that allow her to farm from ranged at no threat to herself. Her teamfights are better, but if you're looking to assassinate without dying yourself (hint - you are), Diana is not the optimal choice.

JTOCMay 13, 20151 votes

idk man, i dont seem to get buillied to hard and i never die when i go all in really.. i build full assassin and blow the shit outta their ad carry and mid laner and still brawl the rest of them.. but i do extremely well haha. idk but thats just me i have (id like to say) mastered her for my level of skill being only gold. haha but im still climbing with her!

No offense but you are either really lucky in your matchups or your opponents are awful. Nobody CCs you when you dive in? Sounds like a joke to me.

JTOCMay 14, 20151 votes

hahahah no. of course i get cc'd sometimes. but for the most part i backlines it and wait for everything to be blown. then i nuke the carry and if i get cc'd after that.. not much they can do. dont get me wrong the noobs i play with in G5 are bad (even my teams i caryr most games) but they know how to "semi" peel lol. so most times i wait for summoner 4 so i can burst in and blow flash to get out and win the fight.

Q is one of the hardest skill shots to land

MetikulusMay 14, 20151 votes

I play her top all the time. Build ROA into Abyssal Scepter or Zhonyas. I think she is really good because she's just tanky enough to survive other carry tops, and still does enough damage to beat down fighters/tanks in the early/mid game.

MLDzXnRRRMay 19, 20151 votes

Because she will get wrecked against any competent team before 6 and has some mana problems. You can see that when people pick her in LPL/ LCS she can't dominate like in solo q, because people know how to play vs assasins. Diana without feed is not scary.

DedriusMay 19, 20151 votes

Diana is going to start to be a pick pick soon, high elo players are beginning to pick her up and she does great damage while having survivability and innate tankiness.

Me being a Kat main, should probably go grab the lube now.
