Diana buff/E rework

Diana needs a buff or an ability rework. Her extremely low win rates exemplify how weak she is at the moment. She is very predictable and her decent-good late game does not make up for her really weak early game. Her mana cost to mana pool ratio at early levels is terrible. She needs either mana regen buff or buff to her mana pool/ability cost. Her e could also be reworked to give her more complexity. Maybe a single direction ability that can either push or pull enemies away, depending on how you cast it, mix of weaker syndra E and Darius E with the type of cast like a thresh E. Please Riot give this a glance and let me know what you think. Also other summoners please give ideas if you have better ones which you probably do. I want to see my favorite champ become viable in the jg and mid again.

IMO she's perfectly fine mid lane currently.. 1M mastery one trick here.

Mana pool issues are resolved through double / tri dorans, or Catalyst items (ROA, GLP. GLP buildpath being her best currently, because of the burst you can hold onto with revolver while finishing other items. The slow also has great synergy with stormraiders.

She's not a champion you can pick up and learn in this meta, and she's getting reworked into a fighter at the end of the year anyway when the divers get a class update.

Once the items change, or once she gets her rework she'll be in an ok spot again.

Jungle is another story.. I've been avoiding it like the plague and queuing top lane instead. Everyone clears better and is more relevant early. Until they buff her pre 6 gank potential in the rework she isn't going to climb any higher in that role. Nerfs to the AP jungle item + EXP changes + less gold income = A watered down income. Diana needs lots of gold to function unless you go for low burst options early.

Diana is B Tier mid lane, D Tier jungle. I'd love to see a reasonable buff, but making her E cast from a certain direction wouldn't resolve the issue IMO. The ability itself is iconic in drawing enemies to her. She starts fights and sticks with them until the end.

As mentioned in previous posts, they will most likely swap her E and R around.

I feel like some of her skills need a touch up to be honest; the e being the primary tool to change its useless especially going up against mid lane mages. it should be scrapped all together if im honest. Now that galios out I definitely think dianas passive needs to be increased since they share similar passives (make her unique). Feel like she's a hodge podge of champion skills.

I completely understand the fact that you are able to build certain items to help with her mana problems, but seeing how games are lasting lately it doesnt seem like a viable thing to actually go about and doing. Double or triple dorans seems like a pain to me, just be cause its basically the cost of a amplifying tome. And the fact that you have to wait 10 minutes after building a ROA to benefit from all of its stats kinda sucks and is only viable if a ahead.

But I definitely cant wait to see what they do to her. Thematically she's perfect, but a bit too behind in the times.

Btw dont most bruisers have some sort of sustain? Like Fiora and her passive, and Irelia with her W. Diana's W is phenomenal but could be better.
