Intro
I'm Lambda a Diana jg otp. I been playing Diana since I started in season 10. I always liked her in the Jg even when it was offmeta so I have a lot of exp with Diana jg and a bit with mid. This guide is a Jg based guide and will help you understand Diana's build paths and rune pages.
My mains IGN Is Lambda Diana (NA) My goal is to be the best Diana jg otp.
Why Diana ? Diana as one of the fasted clears in the game and if done right can have a strong early game and mid game while keeping near 8cs a min if you path right.
Runes (Loadout)
I would always take conq with Diana jg but Elec can work if you like it more.
- Riftmaker
- Belt
- Conq + Inspiration
- Elec one shot
Summoner Spells (Loadout)
Since you are Jg you need smite and Diana needs flash for some combos + its your only way out of fights
Diana
Item Builds
You want to go rift into 2 or more tanks/fighters Belt into a team of mostly adcs/mages.
Lich is a good item to replace boots with at the true late game.
With Rift Steelcaps most games. Mercury's Treads into comps with 4+ ap champs
Always go Sorcerer's Shoes with Belt as your mythic
Nash as a 1st item helps you with early fights and objs and makes your clear speed really fast.
Matchups and Synergies
I will be updating matchs ups thought out the patchs as some may become better or worse based on the meta. A lot of match ups are 50/50 a few very hard. Only one I would perma dodge/ban
Trundle is one of Diana's worst jungle matchups. You can never 1v1 him, at any point in the game. Try to focus on getting objectives and farm. Pray your team fight is good and attempt to out-scale him that way. He is worth a permaban if you are onetricking Diana jungle - never pick Diana into him.
Xin Zhao is much stronger than you in the early game. Conceed scuttle crabs if you need to. Prioritise farming and out-scale him in team fights. He will look to invade you; just back off if your laners don't come to help you. Vision control is important to keep track of him!
He out scales you and is strong then you early. You clear faster then him so if you can get a lead end early but don't 1v1 him early unless you have hourglass/stop watch His Q and save R for when his Q is on CD and he uses W.
Stronger Then you early but you out scale and clear faster then him. Rift is the build I would go into him with some anti healing early on. His E doesn't given him MR but will just make him take a less damage void is still good into him if he stacks MR.
You win later on in the game but he likes to spam gank and invade. He will try to lvl 2 gank one of your lanes spam pick that he will. Look to farm up and out scale try to get objs when you can but he can out smite you early with Q + Smite so don't 50/50 objs if you can. You can stop his R with your R.
You are stronger then her early and clear faster then her as well. Try too get a early lead and keep her from hitting 6 if you can. She will most likely camp a lane to get fed try to counter gank if you can do everything in your power to keep her from snowballing. She also can out smite you with R smite.
You clear faster then him and are strong then him early game too just try to dodge his Q's if he has smite and Exh don't worry about fighting him early as you will lose then all in. Try to just gank and keep your farm up and snowball before he items.
Remember: you're the expert, not us. Add the content you want, whether it's combos or custom assets. Happy writing!
