Riven vs Diana

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Riven wants to snowball by punishing Diana's cooldowns and denying her clean all-in windows.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Diana a passive scaling lane and force her to use cooldowns defensively.

Trading pattern

Trade with short combos using (E) shield and (Q)+(W) crowd control, then disengage before cooldowns expire.
Punish Diana immediately after she uses (Q) or (E) without a reset to limit her burst threat.
Avoid committing if Diana holds her (E) reset or (R) ultimate as she can all-in predictably then.

Danger windows

Respect (Q)+(E) burst combo availability, especially when (E) reset is ready.
Be cautious during Diana's level 6 ultimate window as she can force all-ins or roams.
Avoid trading when your (Q), (W), or (E) cooldowns are down, as Diana can retaliate hard.

Early game

Use level 1-2 to poke and position to bait (Q) and punish if she misses.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Diana unlocks her full burst combo.
Prioritize cooldown sequencing to trade safely before (E) reset is available.

Power spikes

At level 6, set up all-ins by baiting Diana's crowd control and use (R) to execute low-health targets.
After first haste/damage item, increase trade frequency to pressure Diana before her item spikes.
Respect Diana's level 3 burst combo and level 6 ultimate; avoid extended trades during these windows.

Win conditions

Snowball early by punishing missed (Q) and cooldowns, then leverage (R) for lethal all-ins.
Use cooldown sequencing and mobility to create short burst trades and avoid Diana's burst combos.
Transition lane lead into side-lane pressure and skirmishes to extend advantage beyond mid lane.

Tip: For Riven vs Diana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
