I think she falls off a tad late game, but her mid game is a monster.

 

[JTB]

ive had a bunch of friends rise up the ladder using diana, i would say go for it

 

[What's The Point]

Diana is pretty OP right now.

I haven't actually done any mid yet but I plan to use Kass. Just don't pick him if they have Cho mid cause you won't be able to do anything. Everyone else Kass can bully or just mutually farm against. Then winning or losing lane he can always go roam.

Gragas is also good for similar reasons. Push your lane then roam. Later go for game winning ults.


I'm currently doing Mundo jungle or Singed top. Become unkillable and walk through enemies till my teammates kill everyone. Alternatives are Hecarim and Darius.

 

[Vyke]

Diana is a solid pick to climb the ladder. A durable AP Assassin, one that doesn't lose lane often? Sounds good to me.

Also, the Statikk Shiv charges way faster when you're walking than you guys are assuming, I think. It's literally like 3-4 seconds of walking.

 

[Shaya]

Diana is dumb.

Let's make an Akali with hard cc who's a super effective tower diver!

 

[Ussi]

I can't wait for the new and improved DFG :D I missed the CDR on it.

 

[ShroudedOne]

Purchased Orianna finally. Expecting to do work with her.

After losing 100 games due to not knowing how to play her.

[Player-3]

im telling you guys just pick mordekuiser vs diana and do hextech abyssal

 

[Kuro~]

I just played malphite for the first time in a while.

I feel so dirty.

So broken.

 

[Pikaville]

Yeah I heard Morde does well vs her.

I imagine her mid game is a lot stronger than yours unless you killed her in lane or something.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Cho'gath mid is picking up a bit, what do as an AP mid? Trade lanes with top?

 

[ShroudedOne]

Just want to say...the ball is strong. Very strong.

Anyone else think that Ohmwrecker (I think that's the name of the new item, the one that turns off turrets for 2.5 seconds) is a really stupid idea and dumb design too? I don't feel like you should be able to tower dive for free, without any risk whatsoever. Towers are supposed to kind of be the safe havens, and with this item, it feels like ganks will change from "Oh, I would be dead but I flashed and got to safety" to "Oh, I flashed, but died anyways" 100% of the time.

I know I'm still terrible, so if this is off/there's a good reason for the item, I want to know.

EDIT: It's actually super expensive. 2850G. Even so, the idea of it just seems bad.

Is Zed jungle anything special?

 

[Oro?!]

Imo its more of prevention of stupid **** like anivia waveclear making sieging impossible without running in and taking several shots before even diving. The base turrets already give the defending team such a huge advantage without getting popped by a turret repeatedly. Thank you riot for making that item so people can't stall to hour plus games like *****es.

Get your jangler to perma-camp his lane.

Also had a lot of success picking characters who can push quickly and then just destroy other lanes like eve or diana, as long as they can farm reasonably safely that is. Cause you're not killing cho 1v1 in lane unless they do something incredibly stupid.

But but, i like making seiging impossible via anivia waveclear, hour long games da best!

 

[What's The Point]

Ohmwrecker isn't designed for outer or inner turrets. It's basically only for the base turrets, during seiging against Anivia-like champs as mentioned. By the time a person would buy an Ohnwrecker people would be diving non-base turrets regardless.

That's a good point. Though the current, and presumably future item, Promote makes instaclearing waves impossible, so the Promote team can get some hits on the tower without taking tower shots. The Ohmwrecker might do a better job at that, since it allows you to actually attack the other team without worrying about the tower. The only problem I foresee is that once the 2.5 seconds are up, I assume you can't really control which champ the tower will start attacking, so it would sometimes be better to have your tank initiate and just tank the turret, instead of it targeting your mage or AD carry.

 

[Espy Rose]

I just played malphite for the first time in a while.

So broken.

I avoid Malphite for that very reason.
I mean sure, you win, but my god it's the most boring champion in the world.

 

[Player-3]

[adumbrodeus]

Lol, i love you play 3

 

[Boofy!]

Best Avatar NA..

and no. It's fun though, E clears pretty fast.

 

[Oro?!]

Promote staff is better for ***** poke comps during siege to take tower while ohmwrecker is for manly diving comps.

 

[Dekar173]

Why the **** would azubu sponsor clg?

 

[Ussi]

Playing ARAM.. Other team is super pokey while mine isn't.

I had Lulu, teamed with Singed, Blitz, Trist, and Shyvana (and my poke wasn't good compared to Sona, Ziggs, Ashe, GP and Maokai).. So i built support Lulu, lose early game, win mid-late game team fights, gg

 

[Skadorski]

I found this a lot of fun to do.

Then someone tried to report me~

Espy should add my summoner name.

 

[Asdioh]

I'd imagine half of the people in here's first champion was Ashe.

Having just come from dota1, the concept of a "tutorial" was foreign to me. As was the entirety of pvpnet, so I just ended up playing some normal game or something.
