Diana Rework Concept

Just had an idea for a new Diana kit. Basically would remove her mana costs and make her focus on the moon orb resource. With this kit she's more focused on auto attacking / being in the fray than as an assassin, as the resource forces her to go in and attack to continue using her abilities. The numbers / costs can be adjusted as needed for balance but here's the general idea:

Diana Diana Diana Diana

Passive: Every time Diana auto attacks, she gains an orb of the moon. For each orb of the moon Diana has, her auto attacks do additional magic damage.

Q: Costs 1 orb of the moon. Essentially her Q now. She can spend another orb to reactivate the ability and dash to her target for a brief period after it connects.

W: Costs 2 orbs. Diana becomes the moonlight itself, granting her a shield and increasing her movement speed. While the shield persist, she ignores unit collision and can move through walls.

E: Costs 1 orb. Diana bathes targets around her in moonlight, damaging and slowing them briefly. Targets are revealed while bathed in moonlight and attacking them restores health to diana.

R:* (short-ish cooldown) Costs atleast 1 moon orb. *Diana expends all of her moon orbs to do a tremendous magical slash in an area in front of her. Depending on the amount of orbs this gains additional effects:

2: The ability gains 30% spell vamp. 3: Units are are afflicted by a mini knock up and slow. 4: The slash is projected out from diana as a wave.

This would change the core identity of Diana too much. As a big fan of Diana, I don't like this idea. Good work though. It's an interesting kit. Just not the right one for Diana.

It doesnt seem like the best idea to me. Respawn, no orbs, teamfight initiated, cant do crap.

Yeah, I don't like messing with a gimmicky new resource when there is absolutely no need of it.

"Can only use abilities while attacking"

WHELP we're done here.

I understand that she can be fairly easily exploited and is an EXTREMELY strong AP Nuker, maybe even on the caliber of Akali, but this wouldn't nerf her, this would make her LITERALLY UNUSABLE.

The kit idea is definitely interesting, but I feel like it would go better with a new champion and not someone iconic like Diana. Also, I think we're all overlooking the fact that one of her abilities here literally allows her to move through walls.
