Uh oh, a 50% winrate

Last time Orianna was at a decent winrate she was considered too strong and got nerfs to her laning phase.

It looks like she got a bitty buff to her Q move speed. Considering her entire kit revolves around the ability, I'm not surprised her winrate went up a bit due to this compensation for the buffering changes.

Is this bad? Maybe. Contrary to the opinions of the uneducated, Orianna has a disadvamtage against highly mobile champions who could easily dodge her telegraphed skill shots. (Godamnit Lucian get out of mid) This missile speed buff slightly compensates that weakness and might make Orianna a liiiitle to well rounded.

Maybe tone it back a smidge rito? Thanks, from an Ori main that doesn't want to see her nerfed for no reason.

Orianna is considered one of the hardest champ in the mid lane and she has around the same winrate as Ahri currently.

I don't understand why they did that buff. It just reduces counterplay and she was already a good mid laner.
