Very easy, Can chase her through her ult charges if you hit Q and play patient with her dashes. she will try to charm you out of your ult make sure to flash it or bait it.
Akali
This lane is 50/50 If you get behind you could never be able to kill her, You can snowball and out duel with jungle help.
Annie
Annie is a counter most people say, but usually if you can just rush enough burst and try to predict tibbers because she needs to get close for her spells you can win this match-up.
Brand
He can stun you and burst you in a group but if you hit your q and use your second charge of ult early he usually misses stun so just chase him down with E
Cassiopeia
Her new W makes it very hard to run or kill her when she gets in on you just get early MR if you can't seek an opportunity with your jungle before she does. If you get behind you can't do much but try to look for picks in other lanes.
Ekko
Most ekko's don't know Diana's damage so you can easily win fights against him before he ults if you get your 3rd auto up before you burst him. never all in him when he has full health he will ult away last second and you will have nothing left. The only exception would be if you are really fed and just want to scare him off. But do not waste your second ult as it has a high cool down.
Fizz
Fizz will be easy if you can dodge his shark. He most likely will back off if he misses. You can Follow him through his E if you lane Q then R then wait for him to get out to finish off the kill with your last charge. If you are not winning vs him try to get early negatron or just play under tower.
Kassadin
Kassadin is basically the on paper counter because of the magic damage reduction passive. But if you can get him before he builds health items he wont be much of an issue until late game. late game with the element of surprise you can win a fight.
Katarina
With rework she is extremely strong. Pre-6 you cant fight because of her resets. However. Once you get Ludens boots and abyssal you can easily secure the 1v1
LeBlanc
Leblanc favored. But you can still win if she misses her chain. Try to dodge her poke early on to survive mid and late.
Orianna
Oriana has no escape so once you land your q you can usually win the 1v1 with ease. beware taking too much poke she will capitalize off it and punish.
Ryze
Ryze is a piece of shit champion who is getting a rework. But he is strong so only fight him when you have a numbers advantage. Avoid going near the wave.
Syndra
Skill Match-up. If you can flash her stun/Push you can kill her but if she lands it she can kill you.
Twisted Fate
He would be a higher threat if you didn't take teleport. You can keep up with his roams with it. He has his gold card which makes you vulnerable to ganks and usually rushes rod making him a little hard to burst before he gets another gold card.
Viktor
Viktor is not an issue anymore but if he ever comes back in meta his stun and ability to burst is an issue so avoid being in the stun field or you are basically dead.
Talon
Talon can easily trade with you because he will land his w on you almost every time. This would be when you max W and play back until he uses ult. He will roam a lot so make sure you pick where he is going and also try to follow if you think you can 1v1 him fully.
Yasuo
yasuo is easy if you just e him in and land your q before he can wind wall but he can wind wall your q and w if he gets it off so only go in if he wastes it or if you don't need a full combo
Zed
Zed will always go in on you so you can easily play back might need to rush hourglass second if you cant beat him fully because he will take ignite giving him more kill pressure.
Galio
Just try not to fight him because he will most likely only fight if the jungler is around. Build to scale mid to late game.
Lissandra
Shes going to take aftershock so you can bait her to use it before you go in. remember she will most likely have help if she engages on you so be careful not to over extend or dive because of her R
Tahm Kench
Complete counter makes it very hard to burst when he eats them and also can eat you and spit you in front of his team.
Braum
Can block your q and make you mess your whole combo up, or catch you out with ult and passive and get you picked before you can do anything.
Maokai
Very tanky target with a root making it hard to escape, also is too tanky to burst.
Leona
Hard CC and someone to tank for you is always good.
Thresh
Hooks are always good and they cant move perfect for your combo on a hooked target.
Camille
Good jungler to have when she ganks she also does a lot of damage and stunning for you so it helps with pressure,
Sion
Pretty good synergy with the large amounts of CC
Tips
You should take teleport because you can match your lanes roams or split if you aren't winning team fights and still have an impact. If you are going to split build on hit for more tower push. If you are facing someone who duels a lot ignite is the go to option providing a good amount of extra damage. Try to build for the game and make sure you focus the right target, Diana is almost a 1v1 for one champ if behind or even so make sure you make it count.
Thoughts on Jungle
If you are taking Diana jungle you are forfeiting a lot of early game pressure to the enemy jungler and he can easily invade on you. If you are below platinum I think it could work but not later once people start to know your weakness. Diana can't gank until 6 really well so try to power farm and ward for your laners so the game ins't over before you join it.
Diana power spikes
Diana isn't the strongest before she gets some items so try not to take extended fights because your cooldown's and damage aren't great early. Once you get a revolver or some AP items try to get your kills, Diana is a mid game champion who thrives off of positioning errors and catching people off guard. Late game you are not the greatest in team fights but you can 3 shot towers almost instantly and you are a huge threat to anyone without resistances. I recommend you try to get a flank on a fight or draw pressure because in a 5v5 you are fairly easy to lock down.
