Easiest matchup once you hit 6. Yes she can dash more times to you however if she dissapears in her shroud you can just W and you will still hit her. Your base damage is higher than hers at all levels of the game.
Anivia
You have to be cautious with her. Before level 6 you will get wrecked in lane. At 6 jump on her every chance you get, you will be to quick for her to ult+E or Q+E you.
Brand
Keep moving and you will never die, once you land a Q, kill him he is so squishy.
Cassiopeia
SUCH a big lane bully, you will have so much trouble killing her once she gets 100 stacks (Passive CDR, AP and Spell Vamp). Roam often to catch up to her, because if you get ahead you can incinerate her. Cassiopeia is a DOT champ, so if you can get close to her she is screwed.
Elise
You can win this, but if you screw it up you will die.
Ezreal
Just like brand, keep moving, once you land a Q, R to him. He will most likely E away so you can free farm. When he comes back do it again until eventually you do so much damage you kill him.
Fizz
With this build, you out tank and out damage him. Once you hit level 4 you could probably kill him if you play it right.
Gragas
Gragas is actually a great fighter, just like Diana. This is who can land their skills first basically. Poke him down with Q's until you can go in for the kill.
Karma
Wtf is this champ, I play Karma a lot and I know all melee fighters or assasins get wrecked by her. Get your jungler to help you as often as possible.
Karthus
He is very passive early so once you hit 6 go in for the kill. That way when he becomes the late game monster all Karthus's are you can kill him with ease.
Katarina
Your E counters her ult, your Q does more damage then hers and your all in is harder to avoid. You should be winning this. She will try to roam a lot so buy wards and notify your team when she goes M.I.A
LeBlanc
She can use her W to poke you and avoid your poke, roam as often as you can because you are not winning this lane.
Lissandra
She's pretty difficult before 6, but she is also pretty squishy, keep in mind her team fight is better than yours, so if you two are even then you will lose all fights.
Nidalee
Double-ulting (Q+R+R) will mess up her combo as the second ult will put you behind her. This is still more of a skill matchup cause she can become a really strong assasin.
Orianna
Early, she wrecks you. Mid - Late, you destroy her.
Riven
You basically have a stronger kit than Riven, just make sure you double ult or flash to avoid her R skill shot.
Syndra
Avoid going in when she has multiple balls out, stay safe pre-6 and then afterwards go ham.
Vel'Koz
You cancel his ult, just avoid his W poke in lane and once you hit 6, you can kill him
Viktor
Viktor is squishy, as long as you can avoid the laser this should be a very easy matchup for you. You can use your ult to get out of his W and you can poke just as often as him in lane.
Vladimir
This is difficult as he becomes very tanky late, so get your jungler to help shut him down early.
Xerath
His range is stupid, but if you can bait the E he's an easy kill, this is a skill matchup, so dont expect an easy win.
Ahri
Oops forgot to put this at the top. Anyway, Ahri is an annoying champ in lane, but if you can bait the charm, then you can go in for the kill.
Yasuo
The passive shield and the windwall screws over your long ranged farm and your poke, but you still have your W so try and trade early with him, and whenever you get the chance jump on him, you dont have to kill just push him away. A trick is to Q him and some minions, R once to Yas, then R back before he can respond.
Zed
RoA, Zhonyas, W shield and your set. He cant kill you, you can kill him :)
Ziggs
Get help, fight when you can.
Zyra
Her abilities are too slow to react to you, jump on her the moment you hit 6. care for the passive though.
Lux
Very skilled based matchup, your abilities are quite similar. However, the speed boost you get from your E should allow you to avoid either her Q/E or possibly her R, which should allow you to win trades and duels
Talon
He's a tough duelist, but his lack of immediate burst in his early game (pre-6) should let you win a few trades and gain a slight advantage over him. Your kits are both just as powerful as the other, what matters is whether you can land your Q on him. In lane, hold on to your Q unless you're sure he cannot teleport to you (out of range, CD etc.) or at the very least, you have your W ready to be used.
Azir
Your early, mid and late game is countered by this champion. Rely on Q to farm in lane to avoid harassment from his soldiers, take all opportunities to jump on him if he uses his Q offensively, but focus more on roaming, don't bother with ganks.
Kassadin
This is...tricky to say the least. Your attack styles are very similar in the sense that you get in to melee range to do the most amount of damage you can. Be careful pre-6. Once you hit 6 however, take opportunities to start trades with him before he stacks his E. The more auto-attacks you use on him (utilising your passive) the more damage you are likely to achieve. But do not expect a free lane. Aim to roam more often and keep the rivers warded - because he will have similar ideas.
Pros:
- Split Pusher
- High Damage
- Can go top/mid/jungle
- Is very good at skirmishes and team fights
- Able to reach the back lines quickly
Cons:
- Weak before 6
- Needs at least RoA or Zhonyas to survive
- Highly reliant on Q
- No escape
Farming
Farming
Use your Q to farm if you need to reach the back lines, your passive will help kill cannon minions or fighter minions. Farm untill you have enough for catalyst before you back. If you have 1500+, buy Catalyst, Boots, Wards and maybe a dorans ring.
Unique Skills/Combos
Unique Skills/Combos
Escaping Top Lane Ganks from Red side
If a jungler comes to gank you and he is behind a neat little trick is to ult to him and then flash (if necessary). Basic Combo
- Q
- R
- W
- Auto
- E
- Auto
- R
- Q
If you have RoA or Lich Bane, this is a guaranteed kill on any mid laner. You auto 3 times for your passive, and you E between the first and second auto to slow them allowing you to walk up and auto and once the slow wears off you can R to them again to proc your passive.
Summary
Summary
Diana is a great yet underrated champion who deserves to see more play. She has high damage, and a unique combo and can survive a lot. Enjoy playing the scorn of the moon!
