Swain smashes her face in along with a few other champions that don't mind being in melee range. Morgana is another one that doesn't care about her jumping in (pool, ulti, bind)
Well I think Morgana will have some serious problems with Diana because Morgana's damage is only so much and if Diana survives Morgana's combo Morgana is screwed.
Most AP mids with more than 500 attack range can just run AD runes and auto her when she tries to cs. There is absolutely nothing she can do.. unlike Kassadin, Diana does not have a targetted harass and she does not have innate mana sustain. If you run mana regen runes/masteries, you forego armor and will be punished for it. If you run armor, your mana pool will be really sad and you can't put out much harass.
Also your harass is AOE. So if you harass you can easily push your lane. Diana has no escapes and she is easily ganked.
Morgana does have trouble 100-0ing diana in the few games I played since by virtue of being in melee range, diana's shield procs twice and negates most of the pool damage. Unless you land a bind on diana, what's usually happpens is diana Q's you, jumps to you, you pop spell shield, diana's moonfall is negated and then you pool+ulti+bind+ignite. If Diana's shield doesn't refresh, you kill her, if it does refresh, you both walk away from each other at low health. Neither should be able to kill the other without securing some sort of advantage or screwing up.

Trundle's Q still has a scaling AD ratio, and Pantheon's Q used to before they nerfed it.
I believe that the scaling with levels thing refers to skill levels, not Champion level, it's similar to Jayce's W where it deals base AD*a percentage depending on the level of the skill.
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Their % AD ratios scaled.
This is the deviantArt gallery of the guy that made the original concept art for pool party ziggs and astro nautilus http://mattcomgo.deviantart.com/gallery/ Imo ziggs now looks better,nautilus sucks in comparison. I don't know if he got hired by riot but I can't wait for the legendary Brorelia. Judge trundle is also amazing hahah.

Now that I've played a bunch of Diana and gotten used to that "all in balls to the wall" fighting style, I picked our favorite Axe-man up for a jungle game and absolutely rolled face with him. Holy shit, he got out of control faster than you could imagine.
Lack of mobility sucks, but who cares when tunnel vision and NOXIAN GUILLOTINE.
Also, friends list notes is obviously best part of the patch, who cares about the rest.
Edit: I TAKE IT ALL BACK BEST PART OF THE PATCH IS ASTRONAUTILUS

iirc, they are working on a Soraka re-work after the Katarina one is released. They're supposed to release a new skin with her re-work too but we'll see.

It's pretty simple. You get punished when you leave a game. You don't get punished when you make someone else leave a game. You can't even get reported unless noone leaves. Making someone else leave apparently works often enough to deal with the few games they then actually have to play their ruined game for 20 minutes for the benefit to get to play what they want to.
I don't like how they literraly change the way a champion is played because he's not competitive enough. You're gonna have non competitive picks in a 100 champions pool, that's inevitable. No need to be obsessed about it. ;;

We had a decidedly and intentionally uncompetitive champ in Evelynn. No one liked that. Keep in mind that there is a BIG difference between "not to the taste/playstyle/strategy of worldclass teams" and "this champ is bad and you should feel bad".

Pretty sure he was talking about kat, who atleast saw play in soloqueue and won games.

Evelyn and Twitch are understandable. Katarina, meeeh.. I guess it's okay, it's minor stuff. But I don't understand why changing Garen so much. He's a fun champion, nothing wong about him not being a competitive pick in the end.
Might just be me.. But I'm okay with some champions being average. Not everything has to be played at the highest level.

Kat wasn´t average, she was binary. She either dominated hard or her ult got interrupted and she did nothing at all. Garen is similar in that he is earlyloaded which for balance reasons had to make him turn into a liability late. No player EVER enjoys being a liability even if it´s theoretically justified. Remember that Leblanc got buffs to he lategame despite being the godqueen of the earlygame already.
