I find nidalee is a bit too squishy a jungler, if you find her at level 6 in her jungle, its practicly a free kill, due to your strong dueling skills and nidalee's ability to not take hard damage with landing a q first.
Wukong
Wukong has pretty much the absolute worst clears ive ever experienced while jungleing, you practicly rush trailblazer when you have enough, if you ever find a wukong in the jungle, as long as he hasnt build anything after hydra's and warrior, its a free kill.
Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate, is rarely picked in the jungle, but his late game in the jungle can destroy a whole team, his clears arent very good, so like wukong he rushes trailblazer, before he gets devourer he is practically a free kill, but of course his Gold cards may let him get away
Amumu
Amumu has incredible team fight potential, his clears are also not bad, but in a 1v1 , its practicly impossible unless absolutely fed for him to kill a diana, all he could do is kite with his w
Dr. Mundo
early game, this guy is simply a free kill, but once level 6.. you just cannot kill this thing, he will regen up all damage
Master Yi
Master Yi is a squishy strong duelist, kind of like diana, however your shield gives you the upper hand, until of course he starts stacking devourer, level 3 kills would be ur best bet agaisnt him, but make sure not to feed this demon.
Kha'Zix
Khazix has incredibly bad clears, but his damage output is the opposite, you may be able to 1v1 early game, specially if you have skirmishers sabre, but if he gets ahead of you, he will destroy you pretty easily, you probably still have an advantage though, specially with skirmishers sabre
Shaco
To be honest shaco isnt a threat, but diana requires farm and shaco will counter jungle for days, in a 1v1 make sure to save you moonfall (e) for when he goes invisible, this will give u more chance to catch him, but he is so squishy that unless he lands 4 boxes on you, you probably wont die, specially with your w
Rengar
Rengar is pretty much the same as khazix , but in my opinion even more dangerous when late game and fed.
Fizz
Fizz jungle is becoming more common, his ability to build Ad tank, he is very dangerous late game as well, because he will mostly build devourer, and his (e) just lets him get away without being touched by your e, certainly a champion to watch out for, i'd still think diana can easily 1v1 at level 3 with skirmishers though
Nunu & Willump
Nunu has such good sustain in the jungle, but he lacks dueling skills, you find him, you kill him , done
however he may get away and he may out farm, meaning that your team will not have fun against him.
Rek'Sai
Rek'sai is a very strong jungler, I main her for this reason, she can gank very well and very easily and her clear speeds are pretty good too, early game she isnt much of a threat, but in a team fight she has a huge advantage on you, as well as when it comes to ganking, so I recommend fighting her early game.
Shyvana
This champion, is so broken in my opinion, after playing shyvana and running exhaust and stalkers, her ganking abilities become so much more, and her clears speeds are the fastest ive seen in the jungle, late game and early game she could probably 1v1 you and win. DO NOT FEED this champion.
Hecarim
While hecarim doesnt have the best clears or ganks, he is a very strong bruiser, and his team fight potential is the equal of an amumu or sejuani, early game is when you want to shut him down, you let this champion get ahead and your team will die in team fights
Nocturne
Nocturne has very strong ganks with his ultimate and is also a very strong duelist, killing him quick is necessary, but since most of the time he gets skirmishers like you, I find this to be a pointless fight
Volibear
Volibear isnt a champion ive seen much lately, but he has good ganks, and his clears arent bad, but dueling him isnt a good option, his passive can screw you over easily and late game, killing him, just will not happen.
Aatrox
Aatrox isnt as common in the jungle as he used to be, but this thing's lategame is just op, his early game isnt bad in clears but dueling isnt an option due to his passive, your only choice is his passive being down and you being way ahead.
Olaf
Olaf is very strong late game, he can easily 2v1 or even 3v1, this champion is incredibly strong, even early game he can kill you, once level 6, if u fight him, you will die. if this champion gets fed, he will break through all your defences and just destroy you, dont even attempt building defence because of his true damage
Pantheon
Pantheon is like the opposite of olaf, his ganks are good, and his early game is very good, his clears arent the best though, however 1v1ing this champion is pointless.
Gragas
Gragas is one of the best junglers out there, good clears, good ganks, good tank and his 1v1 early game is very strong, his sustain is also very good, not a champion thats easy to verse, getting trailblazer yourself is best to get ahead in farm.
Lee Sin
Lee sin, is a scary champion to verse, but he is pure skill, this is a pure skill champion, if you die though, its not going to go well, he has good clears, damage and ganks, but his dueling stands out most.
Diana
Skill match , just get skirmishers land your q's and you should be fine.
Jarvan IV
Never experienced this match but i cant expect it to go well for you, J4 has very strong ganks and he does a lot of dmg like Lee sin, i assume he can be killed but playing safe against him, and poking, isnt a bad idea.
Elise
Elise is very strong at the moment but once she builds rune laugh and liandry's she has incredible nuking potential, to be honest if her cocoon lands ur pretty much dead, you do not want to feed Elise.
Trundle
Trundle has pretty good ganks, very good sustain, his clears arent bad, his dueling is pretty darn good, you give trundle BOTRK and Devourer and is deadly, shut him down early, for he can easily heal up poking, doesnt mean you shouldnt poke him, land as many q's as you can before engaging, try not to focus him unless he is way ahead of his team.
Skarner
Oh God how i hate skarner, very good ganks, his passive.. yah he is tanky too, get penetration
If she comes at you simply use the combo : e-w then harass with q and ult
Twisted Fate
Tf has good roams clears, harass but lacks get away, at level 6, all ins work very well
LeBlanc
Leblanc is similar to Katarina, she jumps you, e-w harass will win you trades. all ins work pretty well against her as long as she doesn't start them
Zed
Zed needs to be well positioned to do a lot, diana's e allows her to mess with zed's positioning, her targetted gap closer also wont let him get away, but her shield can also come in handy with his ult and poke.
Morgana
Morgana like kennen, will poke, her clear isnt the best though, but she will always do more than you in team fights, all ins may work if she doesn't land her shield on your e
Akali
Akali and you are pretty damn even, your kits are alike, but your shield should be able to win you the lane, and your poke is overall stronger.
Talon
Zhonias. Rush Zhonias. Done.
Swain
Swain is an absolute monster, make sure u take advantage of lack of mana, because he wont be able to hold up ult or get away.
Ahri
Ahri can be pretty deadly , but to be honest even if she lands a charm u have the upper hand. try dodge the skill shot poke though, she gets near you with ult simply use e-w harass.
Malzahar
Malzahar is an interesting champion, he has easy combos and his ultimate is a pain. make sure he doesnt land his combos on you, and if he ults you, try get out. cc will counter that ult supress, in the other hand all ins work very well.
Lissandra
Lissandra is deadly. You cant all in her easily, her poke hurts. she has 3 cc abilities, an escape / gap closer and a built in zhonias. Good lord. if she wastes ult, her w can let her get away , if she burns both ur good. poke her down, a lot.
Viktor
If you are stupid enough to play viktor jungle like i have, you will know that viktor has very good clears but bad roams and cc. However you get stuck in his gravity field and good luck getting out alive, his damage and burst is deadly, but if he doesnt use his gravity field on you and u can poke him down, an all in will be very effective
Yasuo
Yasuo can block your q, but thats about it, the angle will also make it harder for him to block the q. Yasuo can be a pain to deal with, but you poke him down and ur good, if he gets anywhere near u take the advantage to use e-w harass and maybe even get yourself a kill
Syndra
Syndra has a lot of burst, she can easily kill and get away with her stun, she misses stun and thats a free kill, watch her ult though, that may be overwhelming.
Ezreal
Ezreal with runeglaive is annoying. His poke and damage is very good, but all ins still work out in your favor. later game he is even worse though. make use of his bad clears to harass
Lulu
Lulu.... oh Lulu.., this champion can poke, shield, speed her self up, make you into a tiny animal and has a lot of team fight potential, shut her down early and get fed. try roaming. However all ins wont work very well, if she miss uses w, punish her.
Jayce
Jayce has a very good kit, but he isnt too easy to use. His poke is what makes him deadly however, if you ever see him turn into hammer form when he is near you, just activate shield right away, if he is still coming after you, e and punish him, all ins are effective as long as he doesnt hammer you out of it
Nidalee
The poke is real. She misses a q, destroy her. all in, however she lands the q and you will be in trouble, those spears do a lot of damage and enable her whole kit.
Orianna
Oriana is a champion that can come back during teamfights, her potential there is incredible. her q poke is annoying, her cc isnt bad and her shield can come in very handy, if the ball is poorly placed, take advantage and destroy this squishy piece of metal.
Varus
Varus like jayce needs to poke you down. His poke hurts even more though, his ult can easily get you killed, he misses ult, thats your chance, however dont get greedy ever agaisnt this champion. Varus is very strong early and late game, but he doesnt have much aoe to help him in team fights. He needs to poke to win. make sure he wont land the poke
Heimerdinger
Good Game. you wont get farm, you cant get near him, he can also poke and stun you, you heavily rely on his miss use of ultimates, miss placement of turrets and roaming, you need to roam a lot on in this matchup, however you might lose turret easily cause of this, try poking.
Kayle
Kayle can be death itself. Her ultimate can win games, her q-e combo harass is very deadly, but punish her for failing ults, over doing anything and getting near you.
Galio
Galio is tanky, his ultimate is eeven worse and his damage is good, avoid this match up at all costs
Diana
Skill Matchup.
Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia is an interesting champion, if she kites you well, you wont have a chance, do not let her poison you, or it may be your end, if she miss uses ult punish her, the only thing saving you is your shield and her lack of getaway.
Cho'Gath
Dont bother. Your early game isnt the best, so farming is your best option, but letting cho farm isnt a good idea either, he is tanky, does a lot of damage, has a good execute, good cc. over all a very good champion agaisnt you. Try roaming.
Mordekaiser
Good Game Well played. Mordekaiser is the best diana counter for simple reasons. he is tanky, does a lot of damage, has good burst, decent poke, and will beat you in 1v1s, fed morde is even worse, and recently he can ult dragons and get a new pet. Woohoo, even worse.
Diana has strong poke with her (q) as long as it lands, may be a little hard to angle properly. Her dueling skills are very strong, making her a very good jungler, her clear is also very good. The best start for her is Krugs then you can either go straight for the red buff or get wraiths and secure scuttle. her (w) helps with taking less damage so its a must in any sort of dueling, her ult is a very strong gap closer, but it would be wise to land you (q) before using it, since there is less of a second cooldown if it lands. This build focuses on making Diana tanker than usual to give her the ability to make mistakes, and still do a whole lot of damage.
Pros / Cons
Pros / Cons
Diana Is a strong dueler, she has decent poke and can easily nuke squishies late game. However Diana doesn't have the best early game till level 6. Diana can poke down the enemy and cs at the same time with her q, and respond to engages using e-w.
Creeping / Jungling
Creeping / Jungling
When Jungling I usually start krugs->raptors/wraiths->Scuttle to secure vision->red buff (to allow smite to be up again, maximizing the health u leave the top jg with->blue buff.
Diana's w allows for the best first clear, for it gives diana a shield and does a bit of damage, right after first clear i get her q for the extra damage. Her e can only be used to group up the camp to maximize q damage, but thats about it, it does no damage and it may just be a waste of mana
When in Lane, i start with my q to poke and cs, i lower down multiple minions to get an excuse to poke with my q and get cs. Her passive also allows for good csing.
Team Fights
Team Fights
Diana can easily start team fights, land a q and you can throw ur whole combo, problem is if the enemy expects you to engage. q-r-e-w will group the team right where you are, if you have zhonias hour glass your pretty much have a lissadra like engage your whole team can then follow up and get the kills, you may die if you do not have zhonias or if u you get caught out, it is risky to engage. however if the player your engaging is the AD carry or an AP carry you should be fine as long as they arent near any hard cc tanks.
Lissandra Engage:
Ganking
Ganking
Diana doesnt have the very best of ganks, most of the time if you miss your q the gank has already failed. To engage ganks land q-r and once they are barely of the range of your moonfall (e) use e-w, if ur team mates cannot get the kills after a couple autos, use your ultimate to claim the kill, if they are low enough that is. saving ult can be very useful for when they begin to run away with low health and her moonfall (e) is very good to stop people from running away. when ganking try get your team a couple of the kills, but claim one or two to at least make yourself more than useful.
