More Clarity on Diana's Passive

I don't understand why Diana doesn't have a number stack stating how many hits she has on her passive. For instance, Maokai has a number stack stating how many charges he has towards his Sap Magic. Why can't Diana have the same thing? I mean, it gets kind of crazy in team fights, when abilities are flying everywhere and you can't even see yourself autoattack, so you can't count the stacks on your passive.

I don't play Diana much, but I really feel like this would improve her gameplay.

The difference I can see is that Maoki's stacks don't fade away if he doesn't attack, meaning its a permanent buff until the next time he attacks (similar to Nunu's passive).

Diana's, on the other hand, loses all charges if she doesn't attack for 3.5 seconds.

That being said, I see no real reason Diana couldn't have a UI counter for her passive... I think it's just less important as with Maoki he can come back to lane and still have the buff up and totally forget how many autos he had done, where Diana's is all in the moment.

It took this post to make me appreciate the fact that the tree has a passive called 'Sap magic'

if you are in the middle of a raging team fight and don't have the focus to count your AA's, how is looking at your hud to see how many swings you made going to improve your ability to focus on the fight?

this would would probably be solved by a visual particle/audio que. diana glows when its up or something like that

so.. you want an icon like this: 1st attack - timer, 2nd attack - timer, (different icon) 3rd - timer. idk is this important?

Yi's Double Strike gets it, no reason for Diana's passive not to.

A timer for how long you got before your passive resets would be amazing.

I suspect its because of the low counter number. I mean, its just 3. 1. 2. Special hit. 1. 2. Special hit. And so on and so forth. Plus if you watch her autoattacks, each one is unique. If you play her enough, you can just see/hear it and you can pick it back up.
