Why does she feel like a brick wall most of the time?

Yea it almost felt like she had maw last game. Id proc my passive and do auto attack lvls of dmg to her. I think she has some good base stats too tho.

To be fair, her ult takes her into melee range and getting the most out of it (and by extension, her passive) requires sticking power. Champions like Katarina and Zed are a bit more straightforward with their burst, and tend to have a little more safety, so Diana tends to itemize to be a little tankier alongside her kit's given shield.

I wouldn't say it's unbalanced or anything, and I don't think you're complaining? If Diana's ult was get in, get out like Zed's (her's is just get in), or all the burst at once like Katarina's (instead of using the Q reset to get more and more strikes in), she's probably be built more glass cannon and likely wouldn't be as innately tanky.

She's kind of like the Graves of AP assassins

Her shield makes her powerful. If you want to trade with her, force her to use the shield early, let it fade away and then all-in with your trade when the shield is on cooldown. Preferably try to do this only before level 6.

If you also force her to Max the shield, it will increase its Mana Cost significantly to make her back more often for Mana than for Health xD
