Here's a thought on Diana: Reduce damage on Lunar Rush if the target isn't affected by Moonlight

darkdill··1 votes·455 views

Riot dislikes the following Diana combo: R->Q/W->E, because it's impossible to dodge.

Here's a solution: If Diana dashes to a target and it isn't affected by Moonlight, Lunar Rush does less damage (and doesn't refresh). If the target IS affected by Moonlight, the cooldown refreshes and Lunar Rush deals extra damage.

Good or bad change?

Sounds like you're just nerfing her but I assume you want her to get compensated somewhere else?

Somewhat better damage than live if you Lunar Rush to a Moonlit target?

I would vote to make Q>R>R combo do the same damageas live but make the moonlit R do more damage while unlit R do less and then to compensate elsewhere preferably with utility either increased MS, bigger vacuum (you know maybe bigger than melee range like lives...) or increased range on R so you can actually reach baron/dragon

Her Ultimate's damage is gated behind whether the target is Moonlit or not. Not using it on a Moonlit target is already giving you half the damage you could get out of it otherwise, why nerf it even more? Also, Lunar Rush is a dash (or rush) and not a teleport; it is fast, but it does have travel time and can be avoided by using stuns/knockbacks/troll pools & poles/flay/Zhonya's etc.

Your change would be overall an enormous buff because people don't generally try to Lunar Rush if they didn't hit Q because they won't get the reset.

The op is refering to a combo that was more popular before she was nerfed (and was a large part of why she got nerfed) that was where you would r first and then q while they were knocked up by your e guaranteeing a hit by the q and would guarantee the W would all hit especially prenerf when W's hitbox was huge.

I'm assuming the op wants to put more of the damage into the moonlight proc so that they can compensate elsewhere without risking that old combo becoming too strong

If they're talking about a past Diana that no longer exists then this thread is pointless.

Not really because shes in a bad place right now and so to buff her you would want to avoid buffing her into the old toxic play style that got her nerfed in the first place and I could see how this could very well fix that problem.

Also it doesnt no longer exist its just not as abusable because they nerfed her into being unviable. Diana can still R->Q/W->E and it is virtually undodgable and keeping her unviable doesnt solve that.

PS that was my interpretation of the OP

Basically that's what I was getting at.

Riot hates Diana because she is a tanky assasin.

I dont think this will do.
