Orianna Buff Idea

TheGrot·Jul 2, 2016·9 votes·1,167 views

I think it goes without question that she could use a small buff. We haven't seen her in competitive or solo queue in while. I think that if her dissonance cooldown and her shield were reduced by 1 second, then it'd be a nice buff.

I don't really think she needs a buff, back in Season 5 her winrate was lower than it is now, yet she is seen less often in competitive. I think it's around the fact that Juggernauts aren't meta (and Orianna counters Juggernauts really well), and Tank Assassins just shit on immobile mages in general right now. Add the fact that Viktor can do a lot of the things Orianna can do, (and better) and we get Orianna not seeing a lot of play in competitive, she's fine as is.

wake up call, she hasn't bee picked in nearly 6 months. At least not that I can recall

Viktor and Orianna aren't really comparable. Viktor is a burst/battle mage and Orianna is a control/utility mage. Viktor fits in the criteria of champions like Annie, Veigar, or TF while Orianna is more in the area of Lulu, Galio, Zyra, and Karma.

But Orianna can do a ton of damage with her Q R W combo

She can oneshot entire teams if played really well.

Tbh orianna is in a fine place right now. If anything, she should be the "renekton bar" of midlane. Keep her where she is, bring other people up or down to her level.

Fix her or delete her.

I wouldn't say her cool downs need a buff. For me, I'd like to see her shield range extended.

I agrea, I can't remember how many times I tried to shield someone that was just out of range. It sucks

i would love to see her back in pro play. Orianna is one of my favorite champions to watch there. Plus fk viktor

Orianna's late game cd's are low so no!

TheGrotJul 2, 20162 votes

I don't think of a 4.8s cd with max cdr as low

So you think 15-20s is fine? 4.8s cd is low.Also her shield is enough.Also Orianna is high skill champion and her win rate 48%.Isn't it normal?

When you consider her Q doesn't deal very much damage and most of it comes from her W, yes. I consider an essentially 5s cooldown to be pretty long.

What Orianna really desperatly needs are two things: -Allies carrying the ball get an indicator showing how far they can go befor the balls snaps back to ori. -Casting her ult supends the 'snap-back' till the ult is fully cast+0.5 sec. Nothing is more anyoing than the ball carrier geting slightly out of range duering the cast time of the ult.

After that has been done, we can reasses if she needs further buffs, and if she does, cd buffs might no be the worst idea. 5 more base ms or slightly more base health would also go a long way.

My buff idea: W can now be cast while the ball is moving.

I think the best buff would be just some minor damage changes, she already got an amazing amount of utility that makes her a reliable character in the long term in comparison to any FotM champion.

cdr isnt a problem - thats what she needs to build along with mana in early game (mid). all ori needs is just a boost in popularity so better builds can be established and shared. she was in free weekly a few months ago..

My buff idea: Make the Passive stack to 5 to make farming easier when she has low mana (and rageblade orianna)

The most annoying parts for me are twofold: When her ulti goes off, it happens at the spot the ball WAS when it started, not where it IS when after the cast delay. Her passive doesn't work with Runaan's hurricane

Of course, I really miss the ability to scout bushes with her ball from a safer distance, but that was a previous life at this point.

Your thoughts scare me.
