Jungle Diana

Jungle Diana needs HEAVY nerfs. This isn't a QQ post, even though I know all the Diana mains will say so. Just stating the facts.

I just finished a game where I COMPLETELY shut down their jungle Diana as Nunu. I took BOTH her red and blue buffs and she didn't get ANY of my jungle. She was about as far behind as you could possible set a jungler but she still goes 7/2/7. Despite having pretty much no gold or experience for the first 10 minutes of the game.

What good is it to dominate your opponent if they are just going to carry anyway? That is the problem with EVERY assassin in the game: low risk/high reward. If you are skilled enough to shut down one early, they should be literally worthless the entire game for taking an early power champion and not succeeding.

Lo what? You think if you stole her buffs it will win u a game, really?What's mean dominate ? Counterjungling isn't domination dude...

Seriously?

Denying an opponent jungle is EXACTLY the same as denying them CS. When a champion gets behind in gold and experience, it greatly reduces their ability to impact the game. Taking the enemy buffs is taking the most gold and experience they have in their jungle. I had the enemy jungler cursing me in all chat I was destroying them so badly.

If that isn't domination, there is no such thing.

Do you always base your opinions of a champion on a single game?

No, I have seen this happen in several.

or the shenanigans from bronze 5?

diana isnt OP, by any means, her ult is her gap closer, of which her whole damage kit is still weaker than other damage based junglers like khazix, wukong, nocturne, rengar etc etc.

her strength is that shes AP and most people build early armor.

her greatest weakness is getting her slow AF skill shot Q to land and then getting a second ult on a target. if she cant do that she alone doesn't have the burst to combo someone unless crazy far ahead or squishy herself.

I immediately knew that you had no real counter argument since you had to start your post with this.

i immediately knew you were just goating with the completely unbiased and presentation of evidence outside of "because i lost to it a handful of times".

take the downvotes you will receive and just move on, if its truly as OP and outrageous as you say it is, play it and go climb with diana before she gets nerfed. otherwise stop talking.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who have experienced the same thing. That is why you bring things up on the forums, so Riot can find out about things they may not have seen or experienced themselves.

As for playing Diana, what if someone doesn't like Diana or any other OP champion? Are they just supposed to play someone they don't like or should champion balance actually exist so people can play the champions they like?

then post on the account the match happened in so we can look at the match statistics to prove or disprove your point

Diana is not that OP, despite the fact I hate her guts. I've seen her get penta kills and get insane scores like 11-0, but we win the match anyway.

I am a jungle main and Diana is my mid main and back up jg.(Vi is my go to jg) Through out the first 20 min of a game i will get my blue 1 time, won't touch my red until at least lvl 12 and i frequently get 2.0 or higher kda. Taking camps is annoying for any jg but 2 good ganks and they are caught back up. It's not just Diana but every jg champ i've played. The map has a lot of places to get gold and jg's go every where. A skilled jg should never be useless regardless of how 'dominated' you think they are. However the one thing Diana has over a lot of jg's is her clear speed/wave clear. Now more than ever(thanks to new AP jg item) mana isnt as big of an issue(clearing camps) if you play it right. Now i will admit i don't play hardly any ranked but i haven't seen it mentioned if this was or wasn't ranked. and so here is some unranked game action i did with randoms.(good and bad) http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1875471292/32367689?tab=overview http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1876239866/32367689?tab=overview

So the point of those was to show catching up as a jg depends on how well your team helps.
