I don't think anyone tested him. He needs so many improvements. Hopefully this is the worst champ in 2019. I don't want to see a new champ worse than Diablo.
Also, what is with January and bad champs?
Sentry, Diablo, etc
Well, not every new champ can (or should) be incredibly powerful. He looks interesting, and could be a utility champ; but several effects seem poorly thought through. The fact he runs out of potions seems a strange design choice. Imagine if Corvus didn't regain his Glaive charges from one fight to the next - he'd be vastly less appealing. Basically Diablo has a form of persistent charge that is actually detrimental! It's clearly a weakness, since the only benefit he gains from any of his synergies is the ability to generate extra concoctions. I'm surprised his Sig didn't at least let him recover one random concoction per fight!
Also 6% Regeneration on a Lifestitch isn't particularly great; and the fact that he leaves himself wide open to an attack whilst drinking an elixir after his SP1 makes that Regeneration ability a lot less useful. If you're playing with Diablo, I hope you can interrupt drinking that elixir to raise your block, like interrupting Venompool's Dance Break.
I probably wouldn't be too upset if I pulled him from a crystal; but I suspect the arena scores might take a bit of a dip this week...
Can you please clarify with his sp2 and Emberboon concoction. Does the extra energy damage trigger with passive and active buffs or just active buffs?
For the Emberboon concoction, attacks deal an extra burst of Energy Damage, which is increased by an additional 20% for each Buff the opponent has, so this only counts active Buffs, not Passive Effects.
For the SP2, the attack deals +50% damage for each Concoction that is active on Diablo. This attack also deals +50% damage for each Poison effect active on Diablo. Poison effects would include both Poison Debuffs and Poison Passive Effects.
Trying to think of which was the last champ released that is worse than Diablo? I think it's Vulture from July 2017. Good work Kabam.
I wish he'd get a rework too. Diablo you should be able to cycle through the concoctions and if its not the one you need you can go to next one or something like that. Hes just too hard to use effectively.
Trucos must be using the Reddit submission google doc for posted scores/ranks, and that is getting very little participation. 1st Diablo only had 29 ppl submit scores, and there are huge gaps between someone who got low end of one reward and high end of next reward down. 18.m for rank 120, and 14.4m for rank 366 (no other submissions in between those). So could easily believe the guy who said 16.7 was 142.
Gotta say the +30% Heal Block duration from the Doctor Octopus synergy is awesome. I dunno how useful Diablo is as a teammate but Doc Oc will definitely appreciate it.
Diablo personally disappointed me, the champion he quickly dies and more than that damage is very small

Pics or it didn't happen
trucos released cutoff picture @Zuko_ILC
They showed cutoff at 18m not 17m so looks like it didn't happen.
16.7m was 142 on the leaderboard ... so yeah Trucos can be wrong
To be fair to Trucos he uses ~ symbol which stands for approximation.
