Where Is The Diana Remake?

If I recall correctly, Riot did tell us that they were going to remake a bunch of champions that they classified as "Divers" and a bunch of other champions, which was planned to be throughout this season. Also, if my memory doesn't fail me, they listed the following champions: Irelia, Pantheon, Xin Zhao, Aatrox, Diana, Evelynn, Swain and Tryndamere. Up to present, Xin and Eve have both successfully received their own gameplay updates/remakes/VGUs and I would like to say that Riot did a wonderful job with that. Furthermore, Riot "Reav3" recently made a post about their plans for champion updates/releases. Swain, Aatrox, Irelia and a new champion were confirmed that they are under work currently. That leaves Diana, Tryndamere and Pantheon. These champions are extremely outdated and need a lot of work and reconsideration in multiple aspects.

Personally, I am a very big fan of Diana and I just love the design concept and character theme behind the champion, and I honestly think that, even though her current design concept is good, she has a lot of gameplay design problems. A fighter "bruiser" who is supposed to be versatile enough to fight in the frontlines in a teamfight is forced to go damage-focused items to have an impactful presence, lacks any means of escape, little means versatility/survivability and a rather static playstyle. Besides the static playstyle, she sounds more like an assassin than a fighter in my opinion. Whether this is a problem that arose due to the champion being very outdated or because the game itself is just way too modern for it, rests on Riot's shoulders to judge. Pantheon is in the same position as her, too.

I am not trying to force anything here on Riot, I just would like a clarification whether or not they are currently considering these champions in their line of updates, and I would like to hear everyone else's opinions on the current upcoming reworks and plans for champions.
