You dominate this matchup from level 1 through the mid-game — Diana has to land her Q sphere before she can safely commit with E, and any whiffed attempt leaves her standing in your poke range with no escape. Punish every failed engage with Q/E trades and shield through the little damage she does land. Keep shoving to deny her easy CS and force her to either overextend into your poke or fall behind on gold. This is squarely your lane to control from minute one.
