Is anyone else not enjoying the new Diana update?

As a frequent Diana player, I really am not enjoying the new Diana, and I'm probably gonna stop playing her.

It really seems as if they made Diana more confused on what she is supposed to be an assassin or a fighter. The damage nerfs to her W and dash feel awful, and I get it that her new ult is good, but honestly, it feels so.... clunky. To the point where there is no feedback of whether or not it actually did anything. Like 90% of the time when I use her ult in a team-fight I just feel as it didn't do anything where as with old Diana, I knew who I was gunning for. Honestly the ratios are really nothing to write home about, and Riot did the classic thing they do with fighters and made the base damage high.

Everyone played Diana as an assassin, yet every patch they try to hide fighter changes in a way to make her seem more bursty... This is also coming the a few patches after they formally switched her primary role from fighter to assassin.

I know she isn't getting reverted, but I just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way.

R.I.P Diana, you provided me with a hell of a lot of fun for the past 4 years, but I just can't see myself playing you anymore.

The Diana update is the result of incompetence. Whoever let these changes through should be ashamed.

She's forced into an AP bruiser play style, but she doesn't have AP bruiser abilities, and AP bruiser items don't exist. Now her damage is too low to assassinate, but her survivability is also too low to dive.

Diana is supposed to be a diver, but has had such a confused identity for so long that people think she's an assassin.

After what they did to Diana, Aatrox, and, Yuumi i am terrified for Fiddlesticks and Volibear Mains on their gameplay update.

Playing against diana, i like her engaging lvl 2/3 only to realize her dmg is gone.

I guess complaints are unavoidable.

You engage at lv3 with Lunar Rush expecting the same damage output Diana was able to do when Lunar Rush was her ultimate.

I tell you: ofc the damage is not there. Your lvl6 engage kill potential was your reward for having survived the laining phase as a melee, and you were committing your ultimate ability.

Now that her laining isn't a struggle anymore she must give something in return. It's only fair.

I am sure that with enough practice you can adapt. Surely it's much more proficient than crying outrage and "I will never play Diana again".

[slayer-jinx-wink] Leblanc kit screws with my head a bit, but that's the fun in playing as her.

Zed ult is point and click kinda of weakling like. Well Talon ult is more of risk taker move.

Diana old kit was too boring. Wind slash and ult pretty much just like Orianna but more skill need with placement of ball.
