Why Diana Wins Every Extended Trade

Most players panic when a trade goes long. Diana players should be asking for it.

Diana's kit is designed around the same core principle as her lore: she fights against what others accept.

This article breaks down exactly why the extended trade favours Diana, when the damage inflection point hits, and how to read your opponent's kit to know whether you should be looking for it.
