Diana item 1410 item 3157 item 3001 item 3135 item 3026 item 3020 Is probably a better build since she fringes very close to being an assassin with her kit.

item 3001 and item 3135 probably isn't necessary, usually one or the other depending on your target, then you can swap the other out for either item 3100 or item 3115 ending up with to delete squishies or or for the sustained damage vs bruisers and tanks.

Yeah I just kinda grabbed randomly what I though would be good from the Item list. XD Kinda thought there would be better builds but I don't have much experience playing her. But I do know that many build her like an assassin and it seemed like some good items to go for.

VesarixxFeb 15, 20161 votes

Yeah she pretty much always rushes either item 3001 or item 3157 depending on the enemy laner, and then either item 3100 or item 3115 depending on how tanky the enemy is that she is trying to kill

That makes sense.

squishy builds just dont carry bronze unless you have a very high skill differential over the other team. You litterally have to get so fed in lane that team death match is exactly what you want and need, no matter what stupid-fuck comp your team put together.

With the idea that any idiot can deal dmg to the person shen taunts, its better and much less stressful to just provide a good engage and split with your ulti for the babysitting potential.

Ive tried the assassin diana build from the jg. Its too expensive and im not good enough at applying pressure. I can get everyone ahead in lane after lvl 6, but I cant babysit them all and keep a good gold income. I thought going for some tanky items would reduce costs after lvl 11 which is around the time that death timer become long enough to REEEALLY matter and babysitting is at an all time premium.

shen is probably just better all around, but i thought about my other jg who I have success putting other lanes ahead. Buying wukong or j4 next. Idk who yet.

Well then I don't know what to say then. If you are consistently in Bronze then you (no offense) probably belong their for now. Go into normals for awhile and take some time to learn, CS, harass in lane (aka trading even short trades), adapt to your opponents champions and builds. You should be able to climb out easily if you practice before you try to climb.

Well if im not just getting lucky with shen I should be in silver in about 2 weeks. It really feels like I would have lost my last two games with him if I had been playing an adc instead. Ill talk to you in two weeks.

Void NargacugaFeb 15, 20161 votes

Just keep at it! Once you find that one champion that you love playing stick with them! And good luck! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I dont love shen. I play him because I feel like he won me some games despite the 9-10 really stupid decisions my teammates make every game.

The problem is, I just got lucky they didnt try and do that shit in the 2 minutes after I just saved their stupid ass with a decent ult. I dont like getting lucky..I need a champion who can babysit and snowball lanes, while also winning 4v5 team deathmatch situations with his ultimate (wukong springs to mind).

Woook3rFeb 15, 20161 votes

What I really want is to carry out of bronze so I can play adc in another elo. Maybe it will be more feasible in gold.

Well a bit of advice right off the bat right here: A champion you enjoy playing will find you winning MUCH more often when compared to an champion hate playing but win with or is strong.

Try taking a look at yourself as well. Mainly your stats like CS, wards, and simpler things like that. Then expand on that.

Woook3rFeb 15, 20161 votes

as an adc, I have 80+ cs at 10 min if its a boring lane. Ill drop down to ab 65 if Im either dominating (too busy killing ppl to farm accuratly) or if my support is feeding. I almost never feed in bot lane (3% of games).

Void NargacugaFeb 15, 20161 votes

Well all I can really say is keep practicing and things should start looking better. I really do wish you luck.

Woook3rFeb 15, 20161 votes

Thank you very much. Luck to you as well.

I would forego the item 3027 and go with item 3151 simply because the meta is fast and it wouldn't be as efficient to get it later.

Also, get item 3020 or item 3158 instead of item 3006

you can build diana in many ways. but the best way is just to go full ap and snowball. as you'd fall off on your face with this build 25 minutes into the game. unless your team already has a lot of damage from other champions

Diana .... item 3157 item 3001 item 3020 item 3027 item 3116 then last item as item 3025 , item 3026 , item 3102 , item 3100

Banshees is good if they got alot of CC they spam at you, gives you more breathing room.

GA is the same, if your team is squishy and you need more beef, get that so you can die if they focus you, and by the time GA duration is up and your alive, your CDS are done.

Lich is great for movespeed, proc, damage. obv.

Same goes for IBG but it gives a slow ontop of your rylies to help keep anyone faster than you, close, plus some CDR/Mana/Armor, great item.

I like to take her for jungle since im odd, but for mid, it also works, for runes n masteries..

Obv thunderlords decree. and runes, i like to go...

9x magic pen marks/flat armor. 9x scaling armor seals. 9x mr scaling glyphs. 3x flat ap quinns.

Thanks. I dont think anyone thought the same about this build as me. Diana is too so-so at doing the things that need to be done to carry my elo, I dont think Ill be spending much time with her right now.

Shen is probably going to be my go to for the next month or so. The only thing that wins games for me is lanes that are so pushed, no objectives can be taken for the enemy team after one of my lemmings wanders off and kills himself.

Any advice on using trackers knife more effectivly? Dont want to waste my wards. Deep wards are usually the best and in places I can get an idea of where ppl are moving to. Thats all I know. When to put them down tho?

I can tell you this much about Diana.

I havnt played much "this season", but i have with her, in multiple roles.

She is AMAZING, at starting fights, and securing kills that try and wander off.

Now with this said, she can do one of three things. Be a tanky fight starter, a high DPS thats some what squishy, or a "all around" that isnt great at both, but is balanced.

I like playing her in the jungle, with more tanky in mind, this way your team gets some beef, and a fight starter, thats AP. Not many champions can do this, effectively, and since she has low CDs, this is great to have on your team. A build i would use for this, is as follows.

item 1402 item 3025 item 3027 item 3111 item 3157 then either item 3001 for more MR and AP (plus the reduction around you if you have more APs on your team is great) or item 3102 for more mr and if you need more HP + the shield to help you start fights safely.

For a Mid/Roaming type to do damage, item 3157 item 3027 item 3116 item 3020 item 3001 item 3100 .

Then for a more balanced type... item 3157 item 3102 item 3026 item 3025 item 3111 item 3116

Each build has its obv strengths and weaknesses, but can still get each job done. Diana is made to roam, flank, start fights, secure kills, dive the ADC/Carry, and stick to them. Plus as i said earlier, with her shield and passive proc, she is great in jungle.
