Orianna is the most garbage mid champ in existence

Cloud273··1 votes·1,598 views

I made a post about this a while ago (I don't remember exactly how long it was) and someone said that she's "not supposed to have burst". Well, last time I checked, pretty much every mid champ in existence has burst. That's kind of their thing. And all they have to do is point and click. Orianna has to have perfect positioning with her ball in order to do any sort of damage whatsoever. With other champions, it's impossible to mess up your ult because all you do is point and click.

List of mids with point and click burst that is impossible to mess up. Even if you hit the tank, or something stupid like that, you're still doing insane damage. Orianna is punished way too hard for missing her ult. It needs a much much shorter cooldown due to it's lack of reliability. -Talon -Sydra -Annie -Leblanc -Fizz -Kennen -Katarina -Zed -Malzahar -Brand -Veigar -Lissandra

And these champs have much better utility. Yes I consider CC to be utility. Utility is more than just shields and heals. Anyways, Orianna is just garbage overall. Pretty much any other mid champs offers more to a team.

Yea except her ult potential is hilariously higher than most of what you listed. Have you ever seen her ult hit 4 people combined with her W? The wombo power is so high.

Orianna has never been shit... She literally fits into every team comp, and can solo carry games the hardest. You're just dumb .

Yes, yes, she's hilariously underpowered.

That's why she's pretty much been a staple pick at World's since her release.

While she's never really been a FotM "OP" champion, she's always been strong, viable, and adaptable to suit different team compositions.

Evidence please? Even if what you say is true, she probably lost more than half her games.

How about you start watching worlds? Also, tell me how she's weak. Just because she misses her ult she's useless? She has a speed up, slow, shield, and a target anywhere attack. Not to mention, many laners can't do jack when they miss their ult as well.

Except other mid laners don't miss (most of them) their ults. Tell me, when was the last time you saw Annie or Talon miss their ult? The only time it would ever happen is if someone flashed.

There have been terrible Annies and Talons who use their ults for escapes. My point is a Mid Champion doesn't have to be burst (Swain) or have to always use their ult (Ahri) to be effective.

Xerath/Azir/Velkoz/ are the most garbage mid champs in existence too? No burst, unreliable ult, blablabla just read your own post and use your agruments on them. In reality, Orianna is really mobile and hard to kill compared to other AP mids, and she can E her engaging ally to combo it with RWQ and shred like 70% hp of all enemies caught

Yea you're right. Vel'Koz is definitely garbage. According to champion.gg, Vel'Koz has the 3rd highest win rate among mid champs, and the 8th highest overall. Why don't you do some research next time before posting stupid sh*t.

But... but no burst, no reliable ult, no mobility... Orianna is great midlaner, just maybe not at low elo, as well as that 3 champions I named

The irony is strong with this one

You claim Ori is the worst champion in mid lane in existence, then you reference champion.gg, which also says

All you do is point and click on someone. They're not hard at all.

Orianna can literally perform every function in the game except for healing.

So can Lulu, who is superior to her in every possible way (except her ult obviously). It's never Orianna who gets banned in pro games. It's Lulu.

the reason her burst is somehow low is because of the amount of utility she can display and output. For solo Q she feels indeed weak because communication is limited but on teams is a whole different story. She can make any champion with a dash an initiator and can set up fro crazy combos with some other AoE follows up

I think she's suppose to be more of a Utility mage, not a burst mage. She can't 100- 0 anyone 1V1, but set up easy kills for her team.

CC is utility. Why would anyone think otherwise

I think this guy woke up in some sort of acid induced trip and was mistaking Orianna for URF. You know that useless champion RIOT scrapped years ago and WW wears on him as a skin?

Oriana has been one of the most consistent mid laners in the game for a long time, she might be over looked occasionally but she has been pretty much working as intended since release.
