Darius into Dianamedium

Overview

Secure Scuttle only if nearby lanes can support counter-ganks to mitigate Diana's mid-game roam threat.

Power spikes

Respect Diana's level 3 -- combo and level 6 to avoid isolated fights without vision.

Win conditions

Convert jungle tempo into objective control by contesting Scuttle and dragon when Diana is forced to farm or reset.
Use superior dueling and extended fight potential to counter-jungle Diana and deny her scaling.
Coordinate with lanes to secure vision and ganks that punish Diana's predictable all-in pattern and cooldowns.
