Current state of Diana

Rozair··3 votes·1,003 views

If you play Diana and you build like this item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 get off of my thread. Thats whats wrong with this meta. Any true Diana main builds item 3027 item 3115 item 3100 . As a Diana the dream is to land powerful auto attacks with Diana's awesome blade. Instead its her abilities that chunk huge amounts and feel very unsatysfying to play against.

The item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 build will mostly likely kill an enemy target with a RWQ combo. If you happen to QRWR then its probably overkill.

Without considering runes or masteries and assuming level 18 item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 gives 405 AP With Dianas RWQ combo it will deal Q: 483 damage W: 453 damage R: 463 damage

  • item 3285 140 damage Total: 1539 (before resistances)

Dianas QRWR combo would deal even more damage doing 2002 damage!

With the same items item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 Leblancs full combo RQWE Q: 217 + 217 damage W: 392 damage E: 210 damage R: 480 damage + 480 damage +item 3285 140 damage Total: 2136

Dianas full combo almost deals the same damage as Leblanc and is much easier to land.

Also if you look at the damage of each of Dianas abilities they all deal about the same amount and its alot.

If I said how I wanted Diana to be changed I would get massive downvotes due to all the haters out there and the ones who like to play Diana like this, but I for one feel as though Diana is a brusier and that her current state is unfair and unfun to both the player and those playing against Diana. I personally would like to see her auto attacks deal the majority of her damage. In return she would have to be a bit tankier though. Honestly if Riot is worried about making an AP bruiser item they could always make an item specificly for Diana (like victor) that could give the lacking stats that she needed for the Diana mains dreams to come true.

However if Diana is not going to be changed for a long time I feel as though if the players are going to be allowed to rape everyone with her easy to land combo and item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 then the amount her shield gives her needs to scale with health. A super shield and super damage is just unfair and every Diana player knows this and takes advantage of it.

I think a lot of this is going to be changed in the Diver update. If I remember correctly Diana is considered a Diver, not a burst assassin, so her build might get adjust, or at least her numbers with this update.

I do love playing Diana every now and then, especially in the Jungle since her clear is pretty good.

Hopefully they fix her disconnect. I agree having big AA power is what makes her special, but they really missed the mark since her abilities can do way more damage than an AP AA build can :/

I could not agree more. I fear for Diana in the future because she is secretly OP and it has'nt come to light yet because she is'nt played that often. It seems like everytime someone picks Diana mid they just take easy kills all game become fed and steamrole faces off.

if you can find a good diana build, then you should probably keep it to yourself instead of saying the recommended build for diana is wrong. if people play enough diana and just experiment they'll find some better builds.

I main Diana. Im saying that this build should not work as well as it does and it completely ruins Dianas identity as a champion. You dont ever have to auto attack enemies with this build making her amazing passive useless to them because the rest of her damage is easier and more effective. Its toxic.

A lot of Diana's build item 3001 and item 3157 early and sometimes item 3116.

I don't think she is overpowered, and she doesn't have a true escape like Leblanc. She is in and has to kill or she will get bludgeoned by the opposing team. That is also a really expensive build that only a late game jungle diana or a midlane diana could afford earlier (still late).

I think she is one of the few AP champions that can really build a lot of different ways.

I agree. i dont think she is overpowered either but in all seriousness the build i posted is toxic on diana because she shouldnt really be able to do it given how much health she has and the fact that she has a wicked high shield to block about 800 damage with just those 3 items. Im not talking about any other build other than item 3285 item 3089 item 3135 . with those items diana can point click and eliminate.

Diana isn't a bruiser? I always thought of her more as a bursty assassin type of champion.

Rozair1 votes

shes a diver. More in line with a champion like xin than anyone else. She is forced into the assassin catagory due to a complete lack of AP bruiser items. This is always why you dont see Maokai anymore

Pick her top vs ad's. Armour quitns, scaling armor seals, magic pen red, ap glyphs.

Seeksers armguard rush, ninja tabi's -> ANYTHING you want after because your sitting around 160 armour
