S5 Diana Mid Help Please?

She has bad laning like Akali. People run her with teleport, so you don't get zoned. Check pants are dragons tricks with Diana on youtube for advanced mechanics.

So the thing I don't like about your build is while it's defensive, it's defensive in the wrong ways.. and shouldn't even be built on . I'll show you what I usually build on her and explain why. . You might be thinking, where's the 40% CDR? Well let's not forget now gives 10% CDR, boots give 10% and I run 15% CDR scaling blues. So end game if using the CDR masteries (which you should be this season) you would have the full 40%. is basically now the most cost efficent AP item in the game, while nearly every single AP item in the game went up 200-500 gold. This actually went DOWN. You get 70AP, 50MR and reduce every enemy's MR by 20. It's way too gold efficient not to buy. with the CDR buff is now I would dare to say core on Diana, the extra 250+ mana it gives is all Diana needs and it gives her movespeed and more burst aswell. You gotta use it properly though. Before jumping in to attack, always charge up your passive so the moment you q+r your first auto will not only get the empowered 3rd auto but also a Lich Bane proc on top of it.

A couple tips I can give you since you don't play the champion.

1. You don't need to wait for your Q to hit before you R to the enemy. If the Q ends up hitting the target your R will go off cooldown, whether or reached the target with R before the Q hit.
2. Using the E properly. There's 3 ways to use this ability, first off is using it as a sort of escape. If you have someone chasing you down. The second they get close enough just press it and it will slow them down. The second is using it offensively in a 1v1. Most Diana players will kinda just use it the second they get in range. You wanna wait until they decide to try to run away to use it. The third is using it in team fights. You need for this most of the time. You wanna wait till they are all grouped, then get your shield up, Q+R into the middle of them. Then press E to drag them all into a ball (kinda of like ult does) this will slow all the enemies but you have to make sure you hit right after you press E. This will give your team time to follow up with their spells while the enemy is slowed and give your cooldowns time to come back up. Then from there you just try to jump onto the enemy ADC and 1 shot them.

Make sure you don't use your W to farm, you never know when you might need that shield and it uses a ton of mana. Try to never Q+R+R, unless you know you can get out. Instead use Q+R and then wait for Q to come back up then repeat.

Also build path against AD champs should be something like Against AP

Diana items are quite simple and never change,check on pro builds and youll pretty much see the same build over and over always rush nashors tooth - core on diana ,dianas passive does 80% ap ,nashors lets you use it more often ,so it gives you great wave clear, and you can shred turrets because the passive works on towers ,you become a very strong split pusher and can basically out duel anyone ,scales well late game because of her passive

after that just go straight ap ludens if your ahead never build a mana item

You don't want Grail or GA on Diana, because that's just wasted slots on a champion like her. instead of Grail and instead of GA. Nashor's isn't a core on her so you can consider swapping it out for either /. Not saying the item is bad, but you can definitely consider getting something other than Nashor's if you're in the lead. Only get it unless your team needs the split pushing power.

As for tricks. Her Q and R travel at the same speed. When you Q and you're sure it will hit, immediately follow up with RRW. This kills of any squishy target before they can even react, seriously it's hilarious.
