Learn how to Diana counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Back away immediately when hit by her Q - Diana's E cooldown resets when she dashes to a Moonlight-marked target, enabling her full burst combo.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Be extra cautious at level 6 - Diana's kill potential spikes dramatically with her ultimate, allowing her to pull you in and deal heavy burst damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Look to trade when Diana's W (shield) is on cooldown - this 9-15 second window significantly reduces her survivability in trades.
Lane Phase
Place Control Wards to the sides when contesting objectives - Diana looks for flanking engages with her ultimate rather than frontal approaches.
Late Game Team Fight
Track her E cooldown (22-14 seconds) when she misses Q - without the reset from hitting a Moonlight-marked target, Diana has limited mobility.
Advanced Lane Phase Skirmish
Engage aggressively when Diana is low on mana - her full combo requires significant mana, making her much less threatening when depleted.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Focus on poking Diana before team fights begin - reducing her health makes her hesitant to engage since her kit requires her to commit fully.
Team Fight
Ping missing immediately when Diana leaves lane - she will often roam to side lanes if she can't secure kills in mid.
Basic Lane Phase
Diana's auto attack glows when her passive is ready to deal bonus cleaving damage in a short radius around her target.
