What do you mean by fizzles? Do you use smartcasting? Do you by any chance have a video of this?

There are times where she will use her ult and run into a wall, which stops her and means that she doesn't consume the mark, setting her ult on cooldown...I don't know if this is the bug they're referring to, but I saw this happen around the cliffs above dragon.

I'm not sure what the OP is referring to, but I've noticed that sometimes Diana seems to cast her Q at her feet if you aim at a target that dies or moves out of range at the same time you cast the spell. I've noticed this especially when I try to target an enemy who flashes away as I cast Q. This is with smartcast on.

Okay, so the ONLY way to make a nerf thread get answered is to post a bug on it also? ok

she was present as a mid laner. and again its because people finally got good with her. did you see how khazix was dominating the field? he will be present in more pro level competitions once people really figure him out. he needs nerfed, especially if you max his skills in the right order. maybe ill make him my new pocket champ.

and it seems silly to me to start an ap jungle with a machete and/or as runes, or to run 21 point in the defense tree with diana. i dont run 21 points in defense for any of my junglers. but ill give it a shot, i do not fear change!

she is an Akali with double tankyness
escapes is not needed when you can instakill every body
and her E provides a nice CC and slow to escape
and if you want to dodge her Q you almost always have to move towards her
and having a passive giving 20% atkspeed AND a 250 damage is insane :P

well needed nerf

ive never seen this. may i suggest always casting q at max range? learn to catch people in the arc, not the circle at the end.

Can you really look at her damage on paper, and then the raw power she brings to actual games in experience even when you are behind, and really say she is anything but overpowered? She's one of the huge power creep champions as of recently, along with rengar, jayce, and zyra.

Wait, are we playing the same Diana? Because the one I play against has basically a pillar of fire AoE slapped on the end of her Q. Kind of makes any skill used in landing it irrelevant when it's just an easier to use Brand W...

yep. because i play against diana and she loses. everyone would just rather see her get nerfed than learn to play against her.

some people are just good at coming back. i can go 0/5 with any of my mains and come back for late game dominance. ahri, mundo, elise, hecarim, yorick, vlad, noc, ori, morg, ryze, kat, karthus, kha, fiddle, leona or maokai. obviously theyre not all my mains but i listed them all to show not only the op champs like mundo can do it. you can also add to that list any adc. just learn to last hit and keep the jungle farm on cd.

also those other champs you listed are not farming monsters. youve just been playing against people who are good with them. anyone can get 200 cs in a 30 minute game, even support characters(if youre playing them as carries, which is bad i know, but its possible). rengar is good at laning early.
