I mean it's a Diana buff from every aspect, now she can just all in at level 2 or 3 and her knockback does a huge amount of damage, which is ironic because that skill didnt do any damage.

Is like I give Yi his ult instead of wuju style, make wuju style his ult, but I make wuju style does 100 true damage on-hit and slow enemies for an comparation, would that be anything that an huge buff for yi!?

Diana most of times will always one-shot you with an R W auto, and maybe an R again if you flash away, now she will just E R auto everyone in enemy team, literally like an malphite but with 2 abilities combo instead of an all in, the diffrence is, then she can run away if she doesnt kill everyone somehow.

it gives her a useable dash just like all other champs where it isnt an ult .

it dont have the same damage or scaling that it had when it was her ult.

They also nerfed Diana’s base Shield HP. She’ll take more damage than before in early laning.

Not....really?

They removed 10 base shield and she got a health ratio for it.

Maybe before first back?

BASE SHIELD (total shield 80/110/140/170/200) ⇒(total shield 60/90/120/150/180)

And you’re assuming Diana is building HP first which is what her new shield scales off of.

Besides rod of ages (if the Diana goes for it) what else is she gonna be building besides damage?

item 3152 item 3151 item 3165 item 3027 item 3116 (no cc without ult now)

Besides morello why would she need any of those items?

And I’m sure Diana needs CC when the target dies in one Combo, and if they don’t her dash resets for a reason.

Uhh...her base damages and ratios are getting gutted. She's not killing anyone in one combo without a 5 man ult.

She's probably going to need rylai's+liandry's and to proc her passive multiple times.

She already has to reset her ult to kill someone...its a part of her combo. Q basically automatically lands now anyway.

You realize she's getting her passive and dash damage gutted, right?

The video i just linked is the EXACT same Diana on the live servers right now [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Here's me thinking Riot were finally going to make her into a fighter. But nope they just doubled down on the oneshotting Diana playstyle oh well Morde it is.

That was the point.

Glad that you got it.

They hit the AP ratio on her passive which will greatly reduce her burst(I doubt she'll continue going the spellbinder build)

Her base damage on dash was almost halved. Her kits scaling was halved, and it was all moved to her new R.

her damage got gutted. the only way she gets it back is by landing the ult. please dont complain until you actually play.

I Agreed with "Garen is adopted". After playing against her as Ahri, I feel pretty hopeless in lane. Her abilities come back pretty quick and they use so little mana now so that she can spams every wave. Everytime Ahri goes for cs, Diana can just Qs and jumps on her while Ws to cancel out any damage ahri does to her. I actually raged after playing against that match. Once she get a kill, forget it. She will roam top mid jungle and nothing can stop her. IDK what Riot is thinking but its very stupid. To just buff CD without nerfing mana.

When you say her damage was gutted in half better mention you refer to one single ability and not her whole sources of damage, her base stats got buffed, her attack speed even if you are to blindly to read everything is just a straight buff, she now have always bonus attack speed not only when she's casting something, AND when she cast an ability she get triple that amount, that being still higher at any rank than her old attack speed (up to 120% attack speed tho, but i understand if that is considered half of 90% somehow), her Q get mana reduced (after they alerdy buffed her mana lmao),her W got and very unnoticeable reduction on damage, the only thing halved was her gap close damage. She still will do insane amount of damage just from her auto passive and Q. She was overkill before anyway, now she's just one shot, that not makes her any healthier, the thing that her dash is more accesible now just make her more unbalanced and toxic because her lane phase was her only weak point of the game.

Oh and a little small detail, very insignifiant, her old R did damage on a single target, now her new R is Malphite ult, but even more damaging, the only reason no big faces like streamers still complains about it is because it is literally first day of rework, I bet if you will compare in few days her winrates in plat+ will see even an increased banrate or winrate comparing with last patch. Btw 49% wr plat, 51 dia, 60% MASTER, 70% GRANDMASTER, those winrates seems pretty low alerdy right? Do you think they will decrease now that she have an aoe nuke cc in her kit and more mobility early but less damage on the dash!?
