So recognize this and change your pattern? walking straight backwards or sideways is the worst way to dodge. I prefer running straight at Diana and engaging since her Q is now on cooldown | ||

Or she'll just use her other abilities and do 2-3x more damage than the Q. Its range needs to get nerfed pretty badly, as does her ult range. Damage on Q could stand to go down, too. | ||

Add the shield to mitigate your DoTs (the free renewable shield, should I say), and the fact that she can spam all day with her ridiculous mana costs and I believe she could easily wear down a Swain by running him oom. This is why you run AD runes on Swain and destroy Diana pre-6 via autos. | ||

Armor items? Armor runes and get a chainmail for Hourglass. Not that Tabi's a bad buy or anything, though usually I go for Mercs. I haven't played Swain vs Diana, but I think Swain would beat her. Torment is comparable to her Crescent Strike in mana cost and cooldown early, and she's melee range so you get a few autoattacks on her if she tries to close. Crescent Strike does outrange torment, but you should be able to make it to level 6. From 6 on, if she goes all-in on you she might get a kill but you should win otherwise because of the crazy healing on your ult. Buy some magic resist and/or doran's rings early. | ||

A lot of your early control comes from Torment amplifying your autoattack damage, and last hits are how you keep your mana topped off. Armor items? Armor runes and get a chainmail for Hourglass.

I guess this is kinda an old post but if she ults onto you pop ult and shit on her. If you have cata(i.e arent fighting boots vs boots or something) you'll poop all over her. If you need armor id just get hourglass, really like running HP/L Yellows on Swain. Im quite convinced he's one of the stronger AP mids atm. Reading one of the LoLPro guides posted in GD, im kinda liking RoA-> Hat, was doing RoA Abby with a chalice mixed in sometimes, but liking DC atm. | ||
