Diana Q-R time frame?

Diana Q-R time frame? - An Old Analog Clock Hanging on Metal Rock

I've noticed when playing Diana that if you Q lands slightly after your R it still resets your R.

Is this because of one of the following or because a time-frame is allotted, if so is the time-frame known?

  • Misconception of when Q & R 'hits' the target. Possible misconception seen here (YouTube video).
  • Latency
  • Combination of both
  • Something else


Best Answer

You already answered, but yeah, the "trick" is that the check for the Q stack happens after Diana reaches the enemy, so if a Q is mid-flight when you use R it reaches the target in time for the refresh to happen.

Be careful trying to "abuse" that: if opponent dashes out of Q range during your R, the Q will miss and you won't get the refresh.
