PS I'll make the statement that if you play diana and you don't think shes OP, you're just biased and don't want to admit it for pride reasons Disclaimer: I don't play diana, I don't own her. Zyra on release couldn't lose. Diana can. She's on the very strong side, approaching OP but not in the same way Zyra was. Toning down the AP scaling on her passive/Q and knocking a slight bit of base damage off the higher tiers of her passive would probably be sufficient to bring her in line. (knock .1 off her passive, .1 off her Q and 40 damage off the level 18 passive base damage, scaling everything else accordingly). Right now, the primary problem is that if diana charges her passive on creeps, WQRER+autos any mid and gets two passive procs, she has 3.8AP scaling, more than pretty any other mid out there and pretty stupidly high base damage scaling on her passive at 6. If she gets ahead, it's literally impossible to shut her down since she starts being able to 100-0 the enemy mid without ignite and because of her shield, gains tankiness through AP, especially since the shield's guaranteed to proc twice if she gets within melee range. Once she's ahead, she can easily 100-0 one of the two people ganking her which is rather scary. She scales (aka snowballs) too quickly off of AP, nerf the scaling and she'll fall in line quickly enough. | ||

You just have a string of trolls and you either respond by going on tilt or respond by trolling right back. Either way, you'll lose ELO. It's generally not a problem to earn it back though. | ||

She feels kitable by many mids with CC in a way that Akali is not due to Akali often fighting you within her stealth bubble. Dealing with Diana is like Dealing with Akali, and I haven't seen any matchup where Diana lanes significantly better than Akali. She brings utility to a team that Akali doesn't, but doesn't have the escape potential of Akali. | ||

She brings utility to a team that Akali doesn't, but doesn't have the escape potential of Akali. The problem is that most Diana's will WQR onto you and wait til you run to either E you or R you. If they bring a passive proc into the fight, there's almost no way you're getting away without eating a second passive proc without a dash/flash or a snare. It is around 4 seconds of autoattacks but diana with the combination of E/R, it's really easy for her to get that second proc. Most AP mids have cooldowns of 6+ seconds. It's long enough that most people can't afford to stand around eatiing diana's damage until it comes off cd. | ||

I've never encountered this magical Shaco can do these things people claim, like Deceive through wards (that he doesn't know where they are exactly) etc. If someone was that good, they wouldn't play Shaco. | ||

in dota the ppl who are/where really good in scrims/leagues/tournaments where completely stomping inhouse leagues (=soloq) and pubs(=normals) even with shitty champs and trollbuilds. what I want to say with this is: being extremely good at soloq is the absolute basic requirement for being a competitive or even just a good ranked5's player. | ||

The fact that she needs to be in melee range to do most of her damage, plus having no escape, means that she will never truly be OP. I think Diana is not OP - she falls off quickly in late game comparing to most ranged APs. The question is whether or not it is good to have a champion with this kind of power curve. | ||

Her E is really strong though. Squishy Diana probably really strong if someone else on her team can initiate, then come and clean up while rest of the team is distracted. Like any other assassin. Just not sure if you'd want to have your jungler to fill the assassin role. | ||

I've mostly been playing as Twisted Fate and Anivia lately though but if I see Diana she usually tries to dive me or someone on my team proceeds to get stunned and then gets destroyed by my team. Her R is just really predictable because of the interaction of Q/R and it only takes one stun to effectively fuck her (unless she's so tanky that she builds no damage, in which case my team just ignores her). Her E is really strong though. And this. My experience with Diana mid is that she has a lot of weak matchups. While I found that she can slap Katarina and LeBlanc around, she has difficulties against ranged pokes and CC. Laning against Ahri and Brand were particularly difficult. You could jungle her. But her ganks are really poor and the jungle income really does not do justice for her AP ratios. So yea, while I admit that she currently stands at around 53% winrate, a lot of champions currently do stand in that area. Given how her kit works, I am not convinced at all that she is OP. She is most likely fine as it is. | ||
