Seriously, I can't even hurt anyone, despite building a ton of AP. My ult does nothing, and Q and W together do a quarter of someone's health, if that. Meanwhile I can mash buttons on Syndra and pick up triple kills, or play Kassadin and instantly delete any squishy I see.
Serevas3 votesWell you built Rod of Ages into Archangel's staff according to your match history. That's not exactly a good build for Orianna. Orianna is also along the lines of Lulu, where her utility is most of the reason you pick her, but she does more damage. You had 3.5 tanks on the enemy team and had no magic penetration.
Finally, do you really think a game in which the ending kill score was 33 to 9 is really a good way to judge how good a champion is performing? Their support was almost matching you in level, that wasn't a game you guys were going to win.
For the record, you tied their 7/0/13 Hecarim in damage to champions. The only person on their team that out damaged you was their Tristana.

Dreadlocks1 votesShe's mostly played for her utility, don't get me wrong, Orianna is capable of doing a lot of damage too, but it generally takes 3 items before you start seeing it.
In lane, despite popular skill orders, i like to max W as it has better base dmg and scaling compared to Q, and imo its easier to "hit" But yeah, Orianna is a tough champion, but def not pathetic.

, use it.
Also, as many people mentioned, her utility and overall safety while laning is what makes her so strong, not her raw damage.
Furthermore, her damage is all AoE, so when you look at it in a 1v1 situation, it's not that strong, but considering she can QRW a whole team, the damage scales up quickly. Add that to the fact that QW combination has a low CD, and boom. Low numbers on paper, more than decent damage in practice over the course of a game.
