What's the current state of
Yasuo? What happened that puts
Diana in t3? Wasn't she like a contested pick for a while? Is there a specific reason why
Cassiopeia is that low in t2? Her dps is insane, and there are quite a few great Cassio players out there (Easyhoon comes to mind).




Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!
Yasuo seems very inconsistent in general tbh. I mean sure, he works fairly well when your team has a lot of reliable knockups and he can hold his own without feeding vs most lane opponents, but he feels outclassed by a lot of things and if your team has no reliable knockup for you to capitalize on, his q is very clunky :X
Diana tier 3 jungle or mid?
Jungle should be obvious, she has decent clear and great dueling potential but can't gank to save her life, and even after lvl 6 her ganks aren't that special compared to say Vi, nautlius, Jarvan, gragas or sejuani...
Mid lane she's just in an awkward place. You either have to max shield so you don't get wrecked by poke, but then have no way to poke on your own or you max q for safe waveclear and some poke. Either way her all in at lvl 6 is pretty scary but it's relatively hard to get there due to the fact that you usually get auto-attack poked to death. Also, she sucks at setting up ganks and following up on ganks pre 6 :/ She does have some good matchups though - I reckon she fares quite well against kassadin, katarina, chogath maybe even zed if you have proper runes and rush a zhonyas.
Basically lissandra does what diana does but instead of a shield she has immunity to damage and instead of a pull and 2 second slow she carries a massive aoe root + two sources of aoe slows, one of which is very spamable =D

Diana was a contested pick at IEM, but I feel like it was false hype. She didn't look strong when she got played, and didn't ever get played again after that. Just goes to show that even pros can be wrong. Kinda like when BotRK into Youmuu's was a standard ADC build at some point last season or the season before, then pros just stopped using it all of a sudden because they realized it was a super bad build. (On most ADC's at least)

Not only is that statement not actually true (Jayce can chunk multiple targets, Varus can only really chunk 1 at a time due to damage drop), Jayce is also safer in lane and has higher all-in kill potential. Jayce is likely actually seeing less play because why not play
