Omg, I laughing so hard.

Diana, currently one of the most balanced champions in this game (not OP, but still not UP) will soon get changes on PBE: https://twitter.com/ricklessabandon/status/879569370036305920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdisqus.com%2Fembed%2Fcomments%2F%3Fbase%3Ddefault%26f%3Dsurrenderat20%26t_u%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.surrenderat20.net%252F2017%252F06%252Fkayn-and-rhaast.html%26t_d%3DSurrender%2520at%252020%253A%2520New%2520Champion%2520-%2520Kayn%26t_t%3DSurrender%2520at%252020%253A%2520New%2520Champion%2520-%2520Kayn%26s_o%3Ddefault%23version%3Dcca34de81609b8fa257997536e2bfe68

Tl;dr: she gets her passive nerfed (losing late game dps) she gets to proc her passive faster per spell cast, and the numbers are absurd (as in WAY TO HIGH) irrelevant buff to her Q

Way to break another champion rito, good game :)

No, what I see is a direction and an ok one at that. Before she didnt really have a direction, was she a assassin with a some tankiness, aka akali 2.0? Was she a AP fighter but squishy? She didnt really have a niche besides being a shittier ekko with a longer dash and a bit more damage with shitty team cc. Atleast now we get to see what direction they want her to go and I find this path ok cause her passive is one of her main sources of damage. What I dont like about this change is that she doesnt need more damage, just better itemization cause the passive mr per level and Abyssal changes fucked her in some if not most ways. I play with AS reds anyway so the early AS nerf wont hurt that bad and it seems it will now be important to take a point into e early at like level 3 or 4 if you want to farm comfortably. This still doesnt fix the issue of needing some form of survival cause the shield is mediocre in tanking in anything other than a 1v1/2, and trying to get autos off before getting exploded by the enemy team is nigh impossible vs any team competent enough.

What I hope to see is hopefully giving her ult some passive Magic Pen and giving her shield HP scaling ratio or better AP ratio in exchange for less damage so she doesnt do a fuck ton of damage and get a big shield.

She's going to be fotm then they're going to nerf her passive damage along with the attack speed. Then she's going to be worse than pre-change I already feel it

Yeah cause Diana is the great aa Champ we all know. It shifts her but i doubt it will make her strong enough

Id prefer if they just added a passive to her e or r that would give some mana back and not mess with anything

Mid Diana has just under a 42% winrate with under a 1% pickrate. If that's what you call balanced I don't know what to say. She's in the gutter atm and the only mid laner worse than her right now is Ryze which isn't saying much.

This doesn't break her at all. In exchange for losing 20% bonus AS she now has to cast spells to gain the bonus. This isn't an ability you would max anyway, so at most, you'll make it to 40% AS scaling PER EACH ABILITY cast. This is only a 20% increase from her previous passive amount which didn't require any abilities. There is no incentive to still max this > Shield. All this does is make her a better split pusher and give her a better late game. It focuses on a more clear niche of using her passive to attack. These changes are what she needed. It gives her incentive to level E up before level 8 so you can get an additional benefit from it.

Tell me again how the hell this change breaks her when it's a nerf to her already abysmal early game and a power shift/buff to late game.

You rarely get level 18 in games anymore so this change will be just fine.
