Its literally so impossible for me to burst her while she has such a absurd high health scaling, litearlly its impossible to burst her all the other champs that I have played.

Can we do something about this??

She's kinda like the AP version of Riven :)

Hey! ):

She has no health scaling, just a fat shield. Her bases are pretty high, but she won't be able to 100 - 0 you unless you eat a passive proc and she's building glass cannon (or if she's ahead). Part of the problem is with the AP items - they give plenty of utility, and 200~ AP is enough for Diana mid-game. She's heavily trade based, so if she didn't take Stormraider's, save your CC until she's running. If she took Stormraider's, you're better off using your linear skillshots and CC when she ults you. She cannot dodge it. And if you stop her from casting her shield, she's pretty squishy.

I play a fighter/bruiser Diana heavily trade oriented, my burst only taking out roughly half of a carry's life. However, I get sustained damage from my passive and Nashors, as well as a 3~4 second CD on Q once I cap Cdr. I generally save my ult for another Q+R instead of burning it for the traditional Q+R+W+R combo (which won't kill unless very far ahead, or glass cannon. That's important enough to say again).

Also, Diana has far less CC. And escapes, she has no escapes (besides ulting jungle monsters/minions).

Yeah just without the aoe stun, a shield that has a built in escape, an aoe execute, 3 dashes and the ability to wall hop on a regular spell.... so much alike..

  1. Define "Her current state", that would be helpful in terms of what you're actually talking about. Do you mean the W shield? Any spell-vamp she has via build path? Just damage in general? Explain a bit.
  2. What champions have you played? If the number is less than 10, you may want to rethink your approach.
  3. Set out a list of reasons, not just a few sentences, why she should be looked at. It makes your reasoning and argument much better that way. Eagerly awaiting your response.
Diana x Me1 votes

Don't worry. You will see less of her if the meta keeps going the way it is. Her win rates and play rate is going down. Also, if you want to beat Diana then dodge Crescent strike(Q) and force her to use Pale cascade(W) so she burns mana. Rush Abyssal scepter or Maw to cut her damage down. Also, if she holds her passive at lvl 6+ it means she is looking for an opportunity to engage on you. She does not cs under turret too well and is meant to be be played aggressive. So push her back into her turret but, keep wards up so you don't get ganked since you are going to be a bit over extended. She is extremely feast or famine, don't let her roam ( if she leaves, either follow her or try to take her turret, she will be forced to come back or risk losing a turret). As long as you deny her of kills she is pretty mediocre because she lacks decent cc and her base damage is actually not as good as people think in comparison to others besides her passive which i admit it is pretty strong Q has a base of 200 lvl5, procd shield has a base health of 200 lvl 5 and her ult has a base of 220 at lvl 3. Ryze, Chogath, Swain, Galio are just a few examples who are good against her. Very few people are capable of coming back from a deficit with her after she gets behind. You might think i am biased because she is my main (and has been since release [8/7/12] ) but, i am genuinely trying to help you.

diana is really strong right now, whoever tries to tell you otherwise is in denial.

but at the same time she is also a very linear and predictable champ that gets shut down by CC.

long story short, pick Amumu stun her mid dash.
