@Nelseus

You aren't experienced with match ups. Diana is VERY VERY Dangerous at 6 due to her double tap ult (Again unhealthy and anti-fun but not unbalanced). It is why you need to take control of lane early and at least be prepared to deal with Diana.

I don't like Lissandra in the match up but she is better than some champions and at the same time terrible for the match up.

Facts that are good for Lissandra.

She has some CC to prevent her escape or chase great in follow up ganks.

Has a long range escape ability

Good early trade strength on Diana

In later team fights your ult can make Diana's engage useless.

Facts that are bad for Lissandra.

Lissandra's damage is lower than most mages she will struggle to 100 - 0 Diana.

Lissandra is a slow champ so dodging also is a bit harder

Lissandra is a low range mage. You will be in Diana's kill range if you aren't careful.

Lissandra is squishy

THINGS TO DO

Take advantage of Diana's weak 6 and try and be aggresive with pushing and trading. Either push or let her push to be in position for a gank.

You need to avoid her Q's on you especially after 6, she needs the hit so she can reset double ult. Back off till the mark is gone.

Rush health items or MR items because ultimately Diana is a burst assassin while Lissandra is more of a DPS (Q spam) champion, which sucks for this match up.

SKILLFUL HINTS THAT ARE TRICKIER TO DO

If you know what you're doing try and find optimal trades, poke Diana's health low and get it to a state where you feel confident going all in.

With amazing timing you can interrupt her ult dash with W or R. She will still have a reset but if stopped earlier enough the dash damage won't hit you.

Bait her dash on you and have the E ready to dodge reposition once she reaches you, then she won't be able to E you back.

The best action honestly is to not win but try and play safe so you are useful to your team later. You will need your team to win your lane unless you are skilled and know what you're doing in the match up which I already pointed out isn't the best (still not the worst champion for it).
