Every time I play against an orianna, I find myself laughing about how unfair she is

Deceptively difficult to kill, does a fuckton of damage and has one of the most game changing ults in the game. She's really not all that difficult either, I've watched people first time here in ranked and get penta kills. Why is this allowed? Why is she allowed to be so unreasonable? She is the epitome of what a "generalist" is and frankly, between her, Syndra and Taliyah (not nearly as much as Ori/Syndra) they invalidate any reason to play other mages. If oriannas main focus is supposed to be utility, let that be her main focus but for fucks sake tone down her damage.

You dont need to post fake stupid shit to get more attention, your post is already stupid as it is. One of 3 hardest mages in the game gets penta first time playing and then the fairy came and gave the person a magical flying unicorn and then they fly into the Wonderlands. Smh...

Unless you have another account, I don't see how you can complain? You don't even play mid, you are a jax main... Are you complaining about her in teamfights, the area she excels in? I wonder how ADC's feel about your main as Jax?

Yea I agree she deals too much for her utility and has no meaningful cooldowns. Team fight? Shield diver and press R. Lane? Throw your Q+W, auto once (or don't she deals enough without the auto) and call the ball back to deal some more damage and shield yourself from anything they fire back

Well I mean she has a shield, a slow and a MS boost, otherwise she'll have to blow her R to 'run' from people trying to kill her. She's like Lee Sin. She's hella flexible, always viable, always impactful and initially harder mechanically to play.

But now that people play Lee Sin a lot more, ward jumps and insecs are no longer uncommon. And thus neither are good Orianna ults/plays.

She's been around for long enough for even average players to be able to play her 'well'

Don't know if she's worth nerfing though

i agree nerf mages

"Viktor should feel rewarded for setting his schemes into motion (like trapping multiple enemies in a Gravity Field), but the ability to follow up with instant target deletion puts the ball too far in his court. By shifting Viktor’s damage to be higher over-time, we can hit two birds with one stone. Opponents aren’t evaporated for making a single mistake, and Viktor gets to carry a fight through intelligent play like the diabolical mastermind he is."

Orianna Q > R > W

First things first, my main mages are Viktor and Orianna. The reason they nerfed Viktor is because his burst was instant, you just press Q-R-E and you can kill a few people absolutely instantly, they cant even flash it. Orianna first has to send her ball, then she has to cast her ultimate and then she bursts you. That takes quite a bit of time, giving you more than enough time to use mobility or flash away or even walk away from it. It has lots of counterplay, unless of course she uses it on a Malphite or Rengar or somebody who got into 5 of you, but you only see that shit in pro play.

Jinzo TorranceJul 18, 20171 votes

It took time for his ray to detonate and for his lich-bane empowered auto to go off, it could kill multiple the same way as Orianna can kill multiple, which is if they stack up.

You can't "walk away" from Orianna ultimate if she has a brain, stop saying bullshit.

DoktorKaiserJul 18, 20171 votes

If somebody or you yourself gave you a speed buff you can dodge more than easily just by walking, if she wants to ulti multiple people which she always will, she will have to make a decision as to where to place her ulti so that she can catch all 5, somebody will always be a bit further away, on the edge of the hitbox, so he can walk away from it rather easily. The problem is if you are trash at this game and you cluster then she will always get a 5 man ulti and kill you all, but this game is not balanced for bronze trash.
