Gotta love that you read my comment.
 * You are forgetting one fundametal factor: Poke

You claimed that if talon were to use e, diana would use q and trade him back. What if i told you, talon can hold on to his e until diana releases her q? If you use it while q is in mid air, it is impossible for diana to hit you with her q, and at that point even if you dont have your w, aa q will still outtrade diana shield considering it is an ad vs ap matchup. 6 hours ago by Talonmain Two notes on this all. You want to poke with Q when your passive is ready (regardless of the enemy laner), and against mobile melee champs Diana can max W. Suddenly you take a Q's worth of damage, while Diana gets a shield.
 * There are three main scenarios.
 * a) Diana uses Q, lands it. She wins the trade, end of story.
 * b) Diana uses Q misses, Talon uses E. Diana pops W. Talon can either go for an all-in, that he won't unless Diana is low-ish HP already, or use Q+W, and try to disengage. Burning Talon's ult is a win for Diana, and the passive is incredibly potent.
 * c) Talon uses E before Diana Q. Diana can tag him, and she wins the trade.

Also, as Q has longer range, Diana can poke with Q and backing off immediaetly. IF she hits it, she can engage. If not, talon is out of range.

And lastly. Talon is well known to one shot squshy guys. Get a RoA. This is the biggest mistake people make about Diana. She is not a burst mage. She is a bursty bruiser, and should be played as such.
