Troll or not, I will argue it in the off case that someone gullible enough to think he's serious would get stuck in one of my randoms.

i would think a malady would do her more good than a nashor's tooth

Honestly, I feel that gunblade and sheen gotta be core for her.

this.

for some reason people just don't seems to understand that more abilities = good for ability-based champs. i can't imagine that Diana won't need to worry about mana, spamming Q and R like that.

the fact is that yes, Diana needs and wants all the stats that Nashor gives. Nashor straight into Deathcap is almost certainly the most optimal build path, slowing only to pick up boots somewhere along the route. considering the current options for AP assassins, everything else will just be luxury. RoA and Rylai take too long, are WAY expensive, and only offer about 40 more AP than Nashor while giving her no stats that help her to be an assassin. Abyssal and Grail are very expensive defense items and they just don't give her as much burst power. Archangel doesn't give the AS and CDR that Nashor does, and so, while it is suitable for long-ranged nukers, Diana needs that CDR and AS much more than the extra MP5 and mana.

tanky brawler Diana is another story entirely.

The slow from Rylais doesn't help her be an assassin? What the hell are you on? 500 health is amazing no matter who you are and 80 AP is beautiful. Did you even think this out?

No matter how viable Nashor's, hybrid, or whatever else is gonna be on Diana, I'm probably going to see most of them build 100% AP or AD anyways. Most people can't wrap their heads around building to the champ.

Gonna get in a bots game for my win of the day, she's going to be picked immediately and jungled, and they're going to rush a Wriggle's on her because that's what junglers get.

Interally, I always really liked Malady on her.

And that makes me happy because I really like malady, but rarely have a chance to use it in a legitimate build (Teemo is the only one I frequently build it on).

Fortunately, Diana has a lot of viable build paths, and I'm almost positive someone will discover something crazy that we haven't thought of that's incredibly effective

This! I'm having fun with a Nashor's/Lich Bane build right now, but I could totally see a tankier Sunfire Cape/Bloodrazor/Abyssal build too.
