Lunar rush: Magic Damage: 100 / 160 / 220 (+ 60% AP)
Shadow Dance: Magic damage: 100 / 175 / 250 (+ 50% AP)
So after 300 AP, 1 charge or Diana outdamages Akali + has bigger range... I know that Akali is easier for playing by newer players, but is it fair Diana (tanky, can initate, AOE sustained dmg, can poke) to be better version of Akali (yea, she has mana...)

Its this trio of Irelia, Diana, and Akali.
thinking man3 votesand both champs are cancer at the same time!
YumaS2Astral3 votesTo everyone that says that Akali has a spellvamp passive: Diana has a shield and insane base stats, so she doesn't need sustain herself.

Sir Yamazuki1 votesA shield does not equal sustain.
He never said that.
UdoIkOSc4u2 votesDiana hasn't a cancer passive and 3 dashes and doesn't need to hit 1 skill before
Vistha Kai3 votesDiana doesn't have a cancer passive, 3 dashes and has to hit 1 skill before
FTFY
7ha7guy7772 votesAkali has 3 charges. Diana can only use her ult 2x if she lands Q. In an extended 1v1 fight, diana can use her ult more provided she doesn't use it without landing Q.

MLDzXnRRR1 votesMeanwhile Diana can only use it up to maximum of two times, and using it the second time requires some major setup and can be extremely hard during teamfights. Akali has 3 dashes, and are all point and click without fail.
Also...did you just say Diana can initiate? Are you kidding me right now?
Yes, she can R + E the enemy team + Zhonya - it's also great for some nasty combos with other AOE abilities...
Maximum Zilean2 votesYes, she can R + E the enemy team + Zhonya - it's also great for some nasty combos with other AOE abilities...
And then Diana instantly explodes the second zhonya's wears off because you tried to initiate as an assassin.
MohawkBird1 votes[deleted]
MLDzXnRRR1 votesExactly the point I was about to make. Sure, it can potentially work as an "initiate", but remember you are an assassin and you shouldn't be the first one jumping into a team fight. Not to mention that you just wasted Zhonya's for the sake of initiation, so now what are you going to do when you get focused trying to assassinate their carry?
I forgot that the game is 1v5 and you don't have a team that follows, my bad... You can also check how was Diana played in competetive - players "never" did exactly that play, right...
pleep1 voteswel the sustain and resets is what balances it out for akali
SwiftKitten881 voteslets not forget 
's pounce which has a 750 range she can ONLY use on your AFTER she lands a skillshot (unless your count the 375 range normal pounce).
can use her ulti with needing to land the skillshot (granted it will activate the cooldown... but she still can) diana's also can land the skillshot through minions where as cant.
and 
.. she doesn't even need to land a skillshot...
MLDzXnRRR1 voteslets not forget
and
Diana can R, then Q you and still get reset on ult...
SwiftKitten881 votesDiana can R, then Q you and still get reset on ult...
your not making me feel any better...
Only Play Darius1 votesThis is how certain champions are. Two champs are so similar that one gets played and the other one is considered an inferior version of that champ, depending on which one got nerfed last.
