How to play it

✓

Don't get run down

Only trade where she can't chase: her Q resets let her run you down in the open.

✓

Burst at your tower

Hold the wave with W at your tower and take burst trades where she can't follow: the only place you win.

✓

Watch her stacks

Track her passive stacks and which minions can stack her up: let her push the first waves in instead.

Never go to the side lane against her: avoid it at all costs, she will run you down there.

Diana · Mid · Patch 26.17 · Ranked Solo · Updated Sep 5, 2026

Diana vs Irelia in Mid lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: she runs you down with her Q resets, only trade where she can't chase, and never in the side lane.
