Every game a see her i struggle to find a weakness. What do i do? She can free dash even if u dodge here moonshot thing Burst like crazy Has a barrier and is tanky as fuck so i cant even burst her like you might a normal assassin. And she can pull u in and slow u so u cant run away. I'm sure theres a way to deal but the only solution i found was banning her. Any ideas?
Abuse the hell out of her pre 6, Katarina can all in and win by level 5 if you've been poking and dodging her Q's.
At 6 and after? Don't ever 1v1 unless she misses her initial Q.
She's easy to harass in lane, since she doesn't get her gapcloser until 6. Just don't get close enough for her to E you, and all she can do is throw out Q's, which are also easy to dodge.
If she shoves (which Diana tends to do naturally), she's super gankable.
Diana is one of those champs that feels super oppressive to play against if you don't hard punish her early (similar to champs like Akali and Kassadin). I will say that I think she's even really good right now with the new runes, especially being able to take Resolve secondary (Second Wind does wonders for bad matchups).
I'm actually super grateful that she isn't played often because, as a support main, I hate when a champ like that is on the enemy team because I have to rely on my teammates to properly punish her, and relying on your teammates in soloQ is...unrealistic.
build a defensive item or two. mercs with some mr because regardless of how much you poke her and have her stay out of lane, after 6 you're done for regardless if you're tanky or not, if you're ahead or not etc etc. she falls off only slightly late game if your team has enough mr because she won't be able to one shot anyone and you can survive. her burst is really strong and her r cd is good to catch on to another prey. idk why youd say she isnt good in teamfights, but she is.
when she Q's walk towards her, the arc punishes you beating her to the punch when she wants to go in, and her ult CD of 20 secs hurts her alot when it gets CD'd when you're bursting.
Don't underestimate the power of auto attacks when harassing her pre-level 6. If you deny her enough farm or even kill her enough times before then, you don't have to fear her power spike as much.
Stop playing squishy adcs. Play someone that can actually take hit or lock her down from range.
Treat her just like Akali. If you're playing a squishy carry you don't go near her period.
Abuse her early. Diana is an extremely snowbally champ so if shes not ahead she is behind.
Provoke extended fights. Diana sucks at long term noodleslapping. If you have extended fighters or champs with sustain like Vlad then she will pose no threat.
Build That item that reduces repetitive magic damage. It reduces the damage from her orbs and R spamcast.
Team-fight. She's bursty as fuck, but generally she can only chunk the hell out of a single target. So group, and blow her up. Her shield is strong in late, but your damage is higher.
I don't think I've seen a lane diana in forever. Pretty sure she's a jungler.
