Something REALLY annoying on Diana

ToKAnNe312·Jul 5, 2017·9 votes·755 views

When you have runic echoes or Luden or just a build with a lot of AP, your Q kills minions and you can't Q+R on them to chase an enemy because your R goes on cooldown. Your only hope is to luckily find a canon wave on your way.

Same goes for when you want to get in a fight by dashing on a low HP enemy, if your Q kills him your R goes on CD and you become useless.

So Riot, could you please change her R so it still resets when you R on a target hit by Q even if it died before your dash ends?

Just use R+Q...

Unless your target is really low HP, Q won't kill it and you won't have any dash left to catch it. Chasing an enemy doesn't mean it has 10% hp left. And BTW please take time to think about situations you're talking about instead of giving obvious ideas.

Admittedly I don't play Diana nor have I seen her recently, but I thought I remembered Riot changing it so her ult reset occurred on cast rather than on landing.

No it resets on landing: when you cast it goes on cooldown and if you land on a target affected by Q, it resets. The only exception is if you're CC'd mid dash, you still get it reset (it was made a few patches ago because you were totally screwed if your R was canceled, you both lose its damage and its reset and the ability to enter a fight for a while).

You can q and then instantly r and it will reset. You actually can land your r damage before your q actually hits. There is like a 0.5 second delay that allows for this. This is because q and r have the same range however an enemy can move out of range right ad the q hits them making you unable to r.

Yep, you roll your qr smoothly together and as long as your q eventually hits the target you dashed to you will get the r reset.

I've said this for a long time. The only really nice fix to this would be if it left a little patch on the ground and then r to the patch but then her r would have to deal aoe damage and Diana would be fucking insanely op

Not necessarily, I'm thinking your idea would work. if this type of change would be applied it should work like fiora Q, where you can dash anywhere but it only targets the closest enemy.

What about if the closest thing is minion

Have it work kinda like katarina E, it deals damage to the closest enemy. prioritising enemy champs

Maybe they can make contacting your q projectile reset R cooldown?

Makes sense, she can use this buff.

You aren't doing the combo fast enough - you're waiting too long after you throw q to r. If you throw a q and then r to the target instantly before the q lands, you will get the r reset as long as the q hits the target you dashed to. This is an important mechanic to get the hang of for a variety of reasons, but one of them is the situation you just described. If you use this mechanic to leapfrog a target you won't have this issue you're talking about anymore as long as your r isn't enough to kill them on its own.

No, i see what you're talking about but even if done instantly it doesn't reset. If you don't trust me go to pratice tool, buy tons of AP and Luden and try to Q+R very fast on minions and you'll see that your R will still go on CD.
