So what's the truth behind this matchup because I main Diana and I always hear that morde should counter and destroy me and the first time I faced him that's exactly what happened yet that was early into me learning Diana and now every time since that I've played him I've stomped him in lane and ended up carrying the game I just don't understand how this can be Diana's biggest counter that I always hear it is

That's what I thought at first but I've played the matchup 6 times and 5 of the 6 I've gotten completely fed and carried the game and the only game I lost was my first match up. The only changes I made were some slight positioning changes and played slightly less aggressive first life or two. The main thing was I just moved away from my minions and he couldn't poke while farming which just shut him down because if he went to poke Id combo him and run because he wouldn't gain a shield from just hitting me or at least not a ver large one anyway
