Orianna and her mana costs
Is it me, or are her mana costs absolutely outrageous? Last time I played her, OOM was pretty much a factor of her play style, she's just as bad as Anivia. Possibly worse.

If you're constantly spamming her abilities before getting 
or stacking up a 
, then yeah. Her early laning phase before first back is supposed to revolve around how powerful her autos are due to her passive. Zoning with the ball comes once you've built mana sustain.
no it isnt you they are pretty high.
Build tear then build Athenes. congrats, use whatever the fuck you want when you want
They are high, but you'll only go OOM if you practically spam all of your skills the moment they're up. Once you get Tear and Chalice, that practically becomes impossible though because you've got a shit ton of mana sustain with those items.
Either go Tear or go Chalice, and your mana problems are gone. Past that, just learn to manage your mana, even a few doran's helps.
I play a lot of Orianna, and her mana issues balance out her lane phase but really aren't that big of a problem.
I mean, not that I even play Orianna anymore. It's just been boggling my mind lately. I'm an aggressive player and I can't do that effectively with her like I can with Karma or Lux. :P
