How to play it
DO
Dodge her Q
Her Q arcs to the right of the way she faces and reaches further than it looks — walk in close or to her left to dodge it.
Don't W into her
Never use your W on her — she answers with her own W, nullifies your damage and hits you back.
Keep your distance
Her dash is targeted and damages on impact — stay spaced, or you get poked out then one-shot once she has ult.
DON'T
Never throw your W onto Diana — she retaliates with hers, cancels your damage and punishes you for it.
