I just played Diana jungler for the first time today and she felt amazing! Super easy to play, fun, great sustain, high damage, good engage, great balance of offense and defense thanks to her shield W move, and an ULT that has super low or zero CD sometimes. And all her moves cost little mana or free sometimes.
I am new to her, so I am curious what the community thinks of her. Share your thoughts and thank you.
I haven't played too many games as Jungle with Dianna (about 20-30) but I do play a decent amount in the jungle. Personally, I don't think she's too powerful. Any early game jungler can abuse her pre-6 with constant invades, and her ganking potential pre-6 is also pretty low, flash W being your best engage. After 6, ganking is much easier but only as an all-or-nothing kind of play style. It's difficult to land your q if the enemies see you on a ward and begin backing up (comparison to lee sin, who can ward-hop and then q as gap closers, or Kayn who can walk through walls for a movespeed steroid and better angle to cut off) so if you do miss, you'll need to use R with no reset to engage. Alternatively, you can use Q after you use R to guarantee the damage for a better burst, but if your team doesn't follow up or the enemy jungle counter ganks or the enemy can kite you, you have no escape and just die. Alternatively, I would recommend Evelynn, as she still suffers pre-6 like Dianna, but is way more powerful post-6.
Overall, I think Dianna is a fun jungler, but will always be outshined in the current meta by aggressive early junglers or mid game power-spike junglers. However, when you do succeed, feels amazing. Maybe something like Predator as a rune will help secure those ganks better, give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Champion falls off hard as you climb.
Ever since they removed her RQR interaction(you could Begin R and Q almost simultaneously and it would reset) she is not viable vs good players.
