I'm a mid main. My main champ is Leblanc but my secondary is Diana. But as of late I just feel as of s6, I can't carry with Diana like I used to. For example tonight I had picked Diana into ekko. I got first blood and then proceeded to go 6-0 in the first fifteen minutes or so. Now, my teammates were feeding but I was confident I had a shot at carrying. However, I just feel lately that it's been harder to carry with her. I finished a miserable 12/12/12. I feel like anymore any time I am going in to flank the adc/apc, my success rate of 100-0ing them AND getting out safe gets slimmer and slimmer as the game goes on. Whereas with Leblanc I can always get in kill and get out.

Now the enemy team had a fizz jungle who was fed, a sivir with a spell shield she used well and an ekko with the ult to use if I all inned him. So maybe this is a bad example. But it just seems lately with Diana I go in on a team fight and I might as well expect death and basically expect not to escape.

Is this season different or is it me? Even with zjonyas it just seems like the later the game gets the less I get away on a team fight. A 6-0 start and I finish 12/12/12 and can't carry my team to victory. It's just so strange.

What am I doing wrong this season? Am I just that out of practice with her? I say that because I haven't played her much this season at all... But, it's starting to make me lose faith in my girl. I love playing her vs any me lee assassins and usually use LB for almost anything else. But lately it feels different...

Anyone?

The thing here is that LeBlanc has a very reliable escape mechanism whereas Diana does not unless she's fortunate enough to burst someone before she uses her 2nd ult. She's much better off as a split pusher from the jungle because she can just get fed as all hell from CS and proceed to blow everything up. Using Diana as my go-to jungler and secondary main, I've never had much success with her in lane. It's just not safe enough for her from my experience.

Yea, I liked her much better in the jungle before runic echoes. I love Diana in lane though she's a bully post 6 and one of the best anti melee assassins in game. And yep she is a great split pusher, I always take teleport on her for that reason, but before this season I feel like my team fighting with her was super impactful and good but lately it has felt much less such. Which is why I posted this.

just split push, her passive can take out turrets in 2-3 proc's
