Yet... Diana with a quarter health one shots a Poppy with 90% health despite being stunned on the wall, ulted, hit by multiple Qs, all that. Yeah, Diana is just SUPER fair and balanced. I can see why she's never nerfed!

The game in question

When this occurred (13:45), the items were as follows: Poppy item 1001 item 3706 item 1027 item 1029 item 1036 item 1036 Diana item 1001 item 1056 item 1056 item 3001

  • You had no health or magic resistance against Diana.
  • You had little in the way of offensive stats (20AD compared to 90AP + Damage Amplification).
  • You fought Diana inside of her own minion wave.
  • You were a level below Diana
  • Diana had ~100 less health than you did when the fight started

Quite frankly, you picked a horrible fight and were punished for it.

Honestly, you would have won that fight if you didn't waste your first Q on the minion wave.

Quite frankly, LITERALLY any other champion would have died. But no, Diana has the base stats of a hyper tank, a free shield for half her health, and clicks on you to do 500 damage instantly when she hits 6.

so 110 shielding at lvl 10 + 63 (105 AP * 60% ap = 63) is half her health? so... she doesn't start at lvl 1 with 346 hp (173 [(110 + 63)] x 2) hp so I call hyperbole

You were playing Poppy ...who had a free shield as well + usually runs Courage And you were building her wrong. Hold on let me go play ADC Anivia and go fight Assassins who are higher level than me and record it and put it on these boards complaining about it.

Items please? Cuz diana was a higher level, and who knows what items they have. It's like posting a video where someone got rekt but all they had was Armor and an ap mage killed them saying 'look op!' Cuz from the looks of DIana's HP bar. Diana was pretty far ahead.

What this guy said. Also, that was a super squishy looking poppy, judging by health bar alone

I was right lol. Although poppy didn't even have mercs... That's even worse.

Yeah diana will wipe anyone with a build like that.

It's like posting a video where someone goes in on someone who has quarter health but loses because of bullshit shields on an assassin (despite doing everything right) or absurd amounts of lifesteal on a squishy ADC, or some bullshit like Yasuo sustaining through a 2v1.

Poppy had no damage items. No resistances that were relevant to Diana. No bonus HP. Tanks have to realize their itemization matters, and that if you have Thornmail, Frozen Heart, Ice Borne Gauntlet... You are a squishy to a mage or assassin that does magic........ What do you mean I take FULL DAMAGE FROM AN AP MAGE WHEN I HAVE AN AWESOME 40 MR!!!!????!?!?. The thing is. Not much about Diana's shielding at that point was bullshit. Poppy just failed at killing Diana. Simple as that. It's not like "I HIT MY STUN! WHY SHE NO DIE?!".

So is there a reason you wasted your W for when Diana was being CC'd, instead of using it when she could actually retaliate, which would keep her from ulting you twice, which would have won you the 1v1?

You also ignore that the Diana had a level and a significant item advantage. Also, you built wrong. Poppy jungle is garbage shit as a general rule, but cinderhulk at least lets her be tanky. You weren't tanky (Diana actually had more tank stats built than you did), nor did you have nearly as much damage.

You're a bad player Sciela, and you lost to that Diana because you're a bad player. This video proved it, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

She blew the entire damage of her kit on you and you had no MR or HP items and had a level up on you. Its like she has burst and you were squishy, or something.

I've gotten to the point where I can just downvote your posts before reading them.

I mean the skin thing would've been a good argument if she had actually been touched by Riot in the past dozen or so patches, from which I don't recall any changes.

Niyumi1 votes

You know what Riot did? they ignored her, despite her being ABSURDLY broken, and even buffed the range on her E (while small, it's a buff).

Remember that Riot has a skeleton of a skeleton crew in every department, and it takes them half a year to make a simple retexture of a model. So, they've known BM Diana was coming, and that's why she's never nerfed.

Diana has been very much middle of the pack for mid laners for a long time. Overall position = 25/50... Win rate = ~50%, etc,etc. Diana is fine.

despite her being ABSURDLY broken

Right. A champion who can´t jungle because almost the jungle roster outperforms her. A champion who can´t go mid because more than half the mid roster fucks her up.

That champion is broken. Lmao.

I'm going to presume that poppy jg had only mercs for mr. Judging by the health bars...no tank items whatsoever...

Combine that with a 99% chance of a scepter on diana and you have yourself one dead poppy.

I am going to guess it is one of those full ad poppys.
