Dude - your items in the build section and item text choice guide are inconsistent.
Different items in the beginning and different items in the texts session.
Liandry? Protobelt? Etc?
Which one is outdated and which one is up to date?

First off I love the guide it has helped me so much, I had a question though which runes should I use because in your guide it has precision and domination but at the top, your phase rush runes are slightly different. Still kinda new so I don't know which to use

Thank you

Amazing guide, simple but effective.

Despite it being updated recently, I was wondering what parts of the guide I should consider up-to-date and which are outdated. Reason being the discrepancy between the runes in the overview and the guide themselves (phase rush V conqueror).

Great guide! It was very helpful for me. However, I was wondering if Steelcaps are a viable choice for Diana against heavy AD comps and/or match-ups. Thanks for the guide!

i just started playing diana and this guide helped alot

As someone who has just started learning her, this guide was extremely helpful. I hope you can add more situational items to the item list :). How do you prevent yourself from taking too much poke early on against ranged match ups like Xerath/Lux/whoever? I have a terrible time against them and rarely ever win the game. Also, why do you take phase rush? (not trying to bash you but I'm actually genuinely curious since my friends all recommend conqueror or electrocute)

Great Guide! but it needs updating since the new item updates some items need updating and the runes are different so that needs updating aswell

ROA on Diana?

Very nice guide, however the only problem I had was that some of the descriptions don't match up with the images (like electrocute). An update would be really helpful. Thanks!

Tk for your teaching.

some mistake and update needed.
The RUne reectrocute discussed is diff from what was highlighted above, i.e. the conquerere. so which rune do u receommend. Tk

Hey this is a really good diana guide and even taught me a couple of things and im a diana main and have been for years however im still not sure on her match ups anymore due to playing other champs and the meta/game constantly changing, so can you do a detailed match ups guide or at least give advice on really hard match ups thx

Yeah I'm trying to work on matchup sections for all of my guides. I've been really busy lately so I can't give an eta, but it's definitely high on the to-do list :)

Ah right totally get you. OK ill give you a run down of my situation. My highest mastery champ is Diana however i barely play her anymore and when i do its mainly in the jungle so atm when im trying to play her mid and climb im struggling to figure out my match ups and how i should play that lane and what ban i should do specifically for my lane etc. For example as far as i know here hardest match up is kassadin but in your guide you have said that talon is someone i need to avoid cause hes hard to trade with and diana struggle to match his roams. see my predicament XD

Yeah, I totally understand. When I first started playing Talon top, I would lose so many games not because I didn't know my champ, but rather because I didn't know matchups and rotations for top after playing mid for 2 seasons.

For learning a different role, I'd strongly recommend watching Diana players like Arcsecond (https://www.twitch.tv/arcsecond) or S Diana 2 (https://www.twitch.tv/sdiana2na). Arcsecond uses the ROA + Nashors build (he hit rank 1 mid-season 6 playing Diana/Fizz/Cho) while S Diana 2 uses a burst build (he's been hovering challenger for 3+ seasons on Diana with literally 3k+ ranked games played). My stream might also help a bit as I play a melee mid laner, but Talon and Diana have fundamentally different playstyles throughout the game so I'm not sure.

The thing about the Talon vs Diana matchup... it favors Diana unless the Talon knows what he's doing. Bad Talons will engage while Diana's w is up, which results in an easy trade for Diana. However, if Talon just sits back, baits the shield by walking up, waiting for the shield to run out, then going in or using w to harass, the matchup heavily favors Talon. I think Talon players learn how to do this around Diamond 2 or Diamond 1. I just wanted to mention this matchup as I disagree with the common .. "myth" of Diana countering Talon :P.

For Kass vs Diana, I agree it's a hard lane for Diana as you cannot pressure Kass hard enough in lane, resulting in a free farm lane for Kass, which then leads to a snowball because he outscales you.

If you have any other questions, check me out at my discord. Much easier for me to answer questions there.

Hope this helps!
