I think this champ is bad... and before you start attacking me hear me out.

a) she is totally outclassed by akali. her q is dodgeable and she needs it for ult reset when akali does not deal with any of those things. also akali has higher burst and does not have mana which makes farming from range easier for her.

b)her burst without her passive is nonexistent. while this is not much of a problem in lane, in team fights its not that convenient to be forced to aa 3 times.

c)her base damages are nonexistent. even kassadin has better burst than her without items... (he also has better ratios but thats another issue)

d)her arc does not change. i wish there was a way of determining if the arc comes from left or right but there isnt so most of the time changing your direction towards bot assures your dodge.

yes i know that people do have success with her in soloq but its just because its something that they are not used to. she is just as good as tryndamere in mid lane. she is so out of meta that most people screw up against her. also zhonyas is a stupidly strong item on any ap champ so she looks scomparibly ok against ad champs.

also i hear many say diana counters katarina which i find funny. post lvl3 diana has not good way to deal with katarinas q. kata can q her all day long and if diana tries to resiprocate to the dmg, kata can dodge her q by using shunpo on her and use w movespeed to move out before getting outtraded by diana passive. meanwhile diana wont have the chance to use her e to extend the trade because if she does kata will ult her face. however there are many kata players who saw a reddit post saying kata is op for elo boosting and play her without knowing assasin vs assasin matchups and feed others. its not that diana is good vs her its that kata users are usually pretty much of trash...

i think it would be healthy to nerf zhonyas (its like the old athenes a certain rush item) and buff diana
