Crescents are Hard to Dodge Apparently

Sometimes when you feel like you're going to win your lane in League, you usually think these thoughts pre-level six. This is the case when you're laning against a Diana. She has a very distinct post-level six skill set. She has a passive called "Moonsilver Blade" that activates every third basic attack. It adds a little bit of extra magic damage to her basic attacks, and scales really well into the late game. It almost gives the enemy champion a false sense of security because her basic attacks don't do very much damage, but when that third basic attacks rolls around, there's nothing left in her wake.

Regular Diana Passive
Her Q sends out an energy bolt that looks like a crescent and puts a debuff on an enemy champion or minion that makes it so your ultimate has no cool-down. It is called Crescent Strike.

 The funny thing is, this crescent is unlike any other move in League of Legends. No one expects a curving skill-shot. They always manage to run into it. I have laned against one person that was able to dodge, except for the fact that they had just stayed back. Her W summons floating balls around her and give her a shield. If they touch a neutral camp or an enemy, they explode. If all of them explode she is granted a bigger shield. This move is called Pale Cascade.

 Her E is and a near instant AOE pull around her that slows any affected creatures. This pull is called Moonfall.

 Her final skill, Lunar Rush, allows her to dash to anything that isn't an ally. This gets you in range for your Moonfall and Pale Cascade. I usually do my combos along the lines of this: QREWQRF. F being ignite.

 I was playing against a "poke" champion on one occasion, which is a champion that just sits back and deals damage to you occasionally, He was doing a pretty good job until I got my ultimate. At that point, I was at a quarter health and he was only at half. I hit him with my Q and jumped on him with my ult. At this point he was already at an eighth health or something annoying like that so I pulled him with my E and pressed W, which promptly blew him up. He then rage quit. It's really satisfying to play a champion than can duel easily with the "overpowered" champions. This is why Diana is my favorite champion because no one knows how to counter her. I also have the Lunar Goddess skin for her which makes it better because you shoot flowers at people.

Comment a champion that you want me to play and give reviews like this! I'll do my best to learn them and give you a good way to play them.
