FYI Diana's W just got nerfed on the PBE, so what I said about W start being valid at level 1 will no longer be true if that change rolls through.

Harsh comments, some do have some truth in them though. I like the whole idea that you have of top diana, building her pretty tanky and such, but this guide does need some work. I would encourage you to add some situational items to the build because top lane can be very situational :). Also, that boots 3 start probably isn't the best for diana, I would suggest going flask and mana (since she's mana hungry early) and a ward. This way you have good early sustain and can watch for banks. No vote atm but please message me if you make any changes! Good idea, just needs some work :) Good luck!

In a level 1 teamfight situation, your W is much more likely to deal damage because it only blows up if it hits somebody, and since it's a double shield that refreshes, you get 110 + 80% AP as a shield amount, which is HUGE.

At level 1, Q and W have completely equal base damage and cooldown, but Q's AP ratio is 70% instead of 60% and it costs 5 less mana than W, making it slightly better as a damage spell. Depending on the matchup, being able to shield level 1 damage from other melee top laners who have good level 1s ( Akali, Riven) is way more important than having a ranged skillshot poke. The choice is yours: be forced to farm at long range with Q and potentially miss a lot of CS, or take W and be able to safely last-hit minions with autos without being afraid of harass or trades.

You're probably right so now I'm just curious as to why. I can't see W bringing more utility than Q or E in an invade or defending buffs. I suppose if you just start at toplane with no early skirmishes it could be valid, but even then I feel Q would be a more effective start in lane.

By this, I'm guessing your ELO goes up about as much as this guide's percentage does.

Thy sins
1. Dat title xD
2. No comment to vote
3. You need more armor in your runes huehuehue
4. Dem cheatsheet
5. Such an incomplete guide
6. I mean, you talk about bloody matchups, but did not speak 1 word about items, while items are a quite important part of your guide.
7. Then we didn't even speak about your tactics, I mean, how do people play games as Diana if they have no idea what to do.

Thy blessing
1. Coding + structure is 'k

Result: Path of Redemption
You are not a complete idiot, for that I gave you path of redemption.
It still means your guide is bad, but you have a chance to get better ;D
Better work on it asap, no slacking! :O

Have fun :D

what everyone else has said, and this guide needs better coding as it looks pretty cluttered as is.

W start is valid. Your other point is correct.

I see the anticipation of an AD Midlaner in these runes.

Loljks. -1

who in their right ****ing mind starts W at level 1 of all things....and armor glyphs instant -1

Long story. Not really happy with the outcome. I used to be one.

Wait, shouldn't you have been promoted to Scout also after hitting 150 rep?
