I always feel like people are trolling when they say diana is good at stuff. she just seems so incredibly lackluster to me in every way.
Diana has a similar thing to Riven where because most of her scaling is offensive (both of them use an offensive stat as their main defense in their shields) and she's melee it makes it really, really painful if you fall behind in the game.
It makes Diana feel really binary alot of the time. Though she's definitely still effective if you don't wind up trailing.

She's super binary. She's a fighter that wants to be an assassin but unlike most of the others she has pretty garbage tools for getting out of a fight, so she's actually more like Xin Zhao.
I haven't played her yet this preseason, but I think I'd take Stalker on Shyvana for the slow, for the same reason you ran exhaust/smite on her in the past. She has no sticking power early game and thus hardly any gank threat. With a 60s CD targetable slow, it gives her more of a threat to come to your lane. I could see people going poaching on her since counter jungling has more potential with longer respawn camps, but I don't see it being as useful as Stalker.
I think on Nasus you have to take Ranger, but it's more due to the fact that the other options just aren't that good for him, not that Ranger is great or anything for him. Skirmisher active's wasted on him, he doesn't need a slow so Stalker is meh, and he surely doesn't want Poacher. Might as well get a lower CD on smite and mana back when you use it.

Except even Xin has better tools to get out of a fight than Diana.

I'm having reasonable success with Shen in the jungle. Starting on the marksman side with minis or gromp (for the easy leash), then to buff and the third camp on that side for lvl 3. Q offers pretty reasonable sustain, and the shield on W comes up quickly enough.
If my lanes are pushing, lvl 3 nets me a point in q, otherwise I'll grab e and look for an early gank opportunity. If I get a good leash, I'll have enough health and pots to get to lvl 4 and put some lane pressure on before I need to go back.
For items, I rush trailblazer/juggernaut. I'm not sure if I have a single boots commitment, but mobi helps me get in position for ganks best, I think. I've been assuming sunfire first, but an early raptor cloak into ohmwrecker will be worth a try. I could even see righteous glory working well, even if the mana stats are wasted.
Endgame build of trailblazer/juggernaut, mobi, ohmwrecker, sunfire, banshee's, (warmogs/triforce/righteous glory) should be pretty monsterous, but I've not gotten that far yet.

Sadly you won't ever get a game, depending on your ELO. I was something like 14 hours in queue until I got dropped for inactivity.
Maybe now that the SR rework is done they can return MWAB to us. They could kill the draft and blind queue and give us the compromise blind with bans queue that Ascension had.

The new jungle still seems pretty overwhelming to me. Having a lot of options doesn't mean much when they all feel like the wrong choice.
I'm finding that the best choices are either minigolem or gromp, working through that side of your camps. If you have sustain enough that you have a pot left at lvl 3, get lvl 4 by clearing two camps on the other side. Otherwise, b and get your upgraded jungle item, 2 pots, and a ward, swapping to sweeping lens. With pathfinder giving health and mana, decreasing smite's cooldown, and its ability to stun both monsters AND minions, I have a hard time recommending anything else on most champs.

Is there a link to the replay? Or just to whichever game it was on the playoff site so I can look at it later? Anything that defies Morello's Ranged AD circlejerk will put a smile on my face.
Interesting that this is still possible, although that's a very specific two champs that they're doing it with. Probably not doable on all of them without taking a decent amount of damage or too much time.

Looks like xsmithy in the jungle as well.

But the longer your queues get, the more productive you can be during the day while you play.
I mean, queuing up for Dominion ranked will get you overtime while you wait for it to pop.

Do the mp5 runes add to your base regen or are they just more plusses to your +% base mana regen?
anyway ahri in TT is lol. oh look they picked 3 melee champs and I have a rylai's
Same with dorans shield.
Right? Right?
AKA pay attention in champ select.
I mained support for a long time when I got sick of it.
So brutal it knocked you into the wrong thread it seems.

Somewhere, deep underground, suspended in some sort of cryonutrient gel, Morello awakens.
She's already getting deleted SoonTM.
This game is something I definitely needed after work today.
