How To Teamfight as Diana

DoctorBloof·Jun 17, 2019·2 votes·2,468 views

So I've been getting back into because she was originally my main champion and I have the laning phase down again with her... ya know play safe till 6 then look for all in potential vs. most match ups. I am still struggling though with what the best strategy is for general team fights. I know obviously a lot of it is game dependent but since she is in the subclass "Diver" and I was looking on here for some advice and couldn't find any so I figured maybe I could get some ideas from you guys for other Diana mains to follow in terms of general team fight strategy, Thank you!

Choose a squishy target, Hit a Q and R on a target then AA them once and they should be dead after the electrocute proc ;)

Your goal is to take down the MVP quickly. item 3157 allows you to attempt an escape or even a second engage.

Understand that your presences can dissuade an enemy ADC/APC from attacking, and you don't need to go in just because you landed Q.

You always want to try to split up the fight and take the group that you can quickly dispatch of.

There are so many mechanics that come to team fighting, but these are a few.

But Diana is not really a team fighter, just an FYI.

Honestly, Diana isn't meant for teamfights. Unless you're extremely far ahead(And able to 2/3v1), she's mostly a 1-for-1 teamfighter. Take out their most valuable target and hopefully stick some damage on the rest of them in the process. Overall she's best for taking out targets who stray too close to the edge of the fight - Look for flank opportunities,rather than looking to go straight into the teamfight like other Divers(Such as J4 or Irelia). While she is a diver, her itemization options require her to play slightly more like an assassin than a diver.

Build her as an assasin and go burst priority targets, or don’t team fight at all and just split push since she had such a strong split push

You kinda can't team fight as Diana. If you're behind, you either die as soon as you dive in OR you make an even 1 for 1 trade. If you're ahead as Diana, you usually pick up 2+ kills before you die (which is bad though, since if you're ahead you likely have a bounty on you so you're accelerating the rate at which you get outscaled). If you have a item 3157 , your chance of surviving after going in increases significantly though, so this is a MUST buy in almost every game if you do plan to team fight. As Diana, you rarely want to engage a team fight yourself, and since she's quite squishy (even when built beefier), you'll want to make your move similarly to an assassin, and wait for major abilities of your targets to be on cool down or wait for them to be distracted.

That said, Diana is better at 1v1s and 2v2s. In most games, your focus should be catching enemies that you can kill that are out of position without putting yourself in a bad position as a consequence. When Diana's R is down, she is one of the easiest champions for the enemy team to counter kill.
