Why don't I ever hear anyone complaining about Diana.

It's the one champion I see that no one builds correctly, and no one knows how to play right. But whenever the occasional Diana one-trick comes on, boy they are a real chore

And I'm not exaggerating here, this was just like Kennen back at the end of last season where I mained him for 300 games and no one else did and then when he was played in pro play everyone started playing him and he was later nerfed. Regardless of this, I can't think of any other assassin that can one shot anyone at level 6 with two abilities and has a bunch of utility and DPS attached to her burst, like what the hell is this.

Just like some other DIana mains, we had a Diana jungle because you know that's the only place she seems to be the most successful and once she got two kills I knew this was over. She rushed Rabadons because none of us had magic resist and had this ginormous shield on her W, she could even miss her Q and still delete a person with just her R because her AP scalings are absurdly high.

Every time I see a Diana jungle, my only chance of even letting her not get ahead is pick Mordekaiser and invade her jungle at level 4 because she can't do anything without ganking people and because he's the only potential counter to her bullshit burst, utility, knockup, and DPS all in the same package. That brings up another thing, why do we have champions who are ONLY weak if they are shut down early? These include Cho'gath, Nasus, Kled, Mordekaiser, Irelia, Veigar, Tyndamere, and Singed. They are obnoxious champions that shouldn't require to be killed more than 4 times to be irrelevant. But this is different, Diana is an ap class hybrid, similar to Lee Sin, but instead when Diana gets ahead she scales better than Lee Sin. And it's not that difficult to get ahead as Diana, just press QR once you have sheen. If I was playing Ezreal ADC, if I die one time in the laning phase, 20 minutes of the game is lost into the enemy team's favor because he doesn't have strong wave clear pre-6.

Because Diana has a nearly nonexistent play rate.

She's solid but not really that big of a deal. She also has no broken abilities like Yasuo

She was pretty bad for a long time until her 7.14 buffs.

Diana jungle is out-meta since S5 and tbh the most jungler can invade her pre-6 because she have one of the weakest early of the entire game.

Because Diana isn't that good. She has alright stats since her buffs, but even that can be attributed to her low play rate.
