Except for when she first came out I never really had a problem dealing with diana mid. Her Q is mostly dodgeable and if you play smart she cant ult you without severely overextending or tower diving. Any mid with a snare can just burst her back and then hold her within tower range for an easy kill. Jungle diana is a different story, you dont get as much luxury when it comes to punishing her for her mistakes. That being said these nerfs are just gunna make it even easier to punish her overall, at least for me anyways.
On the topic of Kat vs Diana, I decided to put the new champion builder from ask Mr.Robot to use and its interesting. Pre-15 minutes or so Diana seems to dominate Kat, but afterwards whoever get their next item first crushes the other, and late game it's Kat hands down. Of course Mr.Robot doesnt factor in player skill, it just assumes the two are sitting there trading blows and landing every shot and what not, so actual player skill will skew those results greatly, but safe to say it doesnt look so hot for Diana unless she capitalizes on her early lead. A passive kat maybe with a few ganks to help will crush Diana.

Diana is definitely still viable, she's just not OP anymore, but she's still strong. However she's rediculously easy to lane against in my opininon. She's gonna max Q first and its rediculously easy to dodge it. Obvious animation and takes some time to get to you. Also because of its shape you just have to move a bit to the left/right to dodge it. If she ults you place a CC on your location (veigar stun, ahri charm, kassadin silence). Basically what im saying is that she is strong but its fairly easy to outplay her. but then again im playing in EUNE which is basically "easy mode" for LoL :P

so as the title says, is she still viable after all these major nerfs ? i was really looking forward to play with her, been told she's a fun champion !
She's still good, just like



The nerfs were needed IMO, but fortunately the viability of the champion is still there.
+Rep pls if I helped! One click doesn't hurt :D Check out my first guide featuring Darius (NEED MOAR VOTEZ)!

1. never been outburst by her as kat.
2. the shields help her but only really delay her dying.
3. Her E stops her ult if the kat is a complete moron.
4. Why would Diana ever chase kat? Kat chases Diana bro.
5. Good luck getting your Q to hit a Kat who is worth two s***s. Might happen like... twice in a whole game.
Diana has outburst Kat 2. The sheilds are a tremendous help blocking Kat burst 3. using Diana E is a good way to block Kat ult I wouldnt sit there and let her ult me to death thats stupid 4. They chase each other everyone chases stupid 5. If you know how to play like how I do I hit Diana Q 9/10 So get your fact straight
