Also Diana's record against lanterns is terrible. Kyle has oneshotted her, John has oneshotted her and then beat her again, a clone sinestro was overpowering her untill hercules saved her, she admitted that she couldn't beat a random GL untill he was distracted etc. I mean just look.
Uh, this scan seems to indicate that Superman was taken out too... and he's shown down while Diana is still fighting.
And iirc she was able to break the constructs of the Sinestro clone. I'm not sure it's 'she was being overpowered' so much as 'the fight was ongoing, then Hercules helped finish things faster'. Also if I remember right... the clones were supposed to be stronger than the originals. Like the Doomsday one, it's strength was constantly increasing and it kept growing more and more bone.
In Gail's run she let a random GL just pound on her and she just tanked it all. Healed it up in the next few pages too.
Sure, she used distraction on him a bit earlier, doesn't mean she's reliant on it.

Wasn't the time with Kyle when she was taking a fall as part of a plan? There was an occasion in Kyle's run where she wanted the villains to believe her dead and Kyle evil so she let him 'kill' her.
I will admit that her melee-oriented powerset isn't the best against lantern types. Constructs help avoid a lasso throw, and her martial arts skill and reflexes don't come into play too much since the lantern would mostly be avoiding close combat. Though in return she can block energy blasts very well.
She can still overpower many of 'em, but it's a rough matchup against the stronger ones.
He was hit in a weak spot i.e his eyes since John couldn't hurt him otherwise. Wally was the first to recover after the blast, diana woke up some time later and she was beaten again.
Hercules suckerpunched the clone after he nearly choked her out and the clones of flash and sinestro were specified to be less formidable than the originals. Even doomsday clone was only getting stronger when the power to him was increased at the end.
She also admitted that she couldn't beat him straight up. Sinestro isn't a random lantern.
