Briar vs Diana Matchup Summary

The Briar vs Diana matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 208 recent matches analyzed, Briar wins with a 55.3% win rate compared to Diana's 44.7%, giving Briar a 10.6 percentage point advantage. Briar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Diana players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
