Orianna Support feels so good!

So she has mana issues but if you can auto and get to Rod of Ages and then Ardent she feels really good! I would get ardent sooner but the mana regen just isn't enough to keep up with her mana costs.

I've been trying the following

item 3303 item 2003 item 2003 item 3098 item 1027 item 3098 item 1027 item 1026 Then item 3098 item 3027 item 3020 With the intent of something like item 3092 item 3027 item 3504 item 3174 item 3157 item 3020

youre playing her as ap in botlane basically woo for you.

Real supp ori is long since dead. You used to be able to play her as an enchanter but then in 7.16 they nerfed her early e by 25% which was devastating. They had also nerfed grail into the ground over the last year or two, it used to be really good with ori but grail is really a side note to 7.16 and after. Then runes reforged lowered early cooldown reduction by 50% and nerfed mana regen. Then they nerfed mana further, messed up coin and nerfed some heal/shield power. They also nerfed manaflow band into the flaming trash it is now. They then went on to nerf ori along with the shield enchanters because janna and lulu were doing "too well" and yet surprise surprise theyre the only two that survived the class nerf and it is because they have so much useful cc (WHICH IS WHY THEY WERE OVERTUNED IN THE FIRST PLACE but no riot says it must be the shield so fuck shields i guess). They also increased supp item cost so you can nolonger buy it and refill pot which means you cant sell it for 60g lateron to get a priority item sooner which further hurts enchanters. All of that in addition to how much damage has outpaced antidamage via riots meddling hand/negligence in the past couple of like 4 years has really shat on enchanters as a whole and people like ori who were off meta enchanters have faired the worst sadly.

Dude, try her again, trust me

With the build path, take cleanse vs thresh but otherwise exhaust/ignite. The move speed buff from your W and your E can give ardent to lots of champs on your team. I mean you probably know the Q, W, E back through them trade... IT'S SO GOOD DUDE. Honestly, ban Draven and have fun.

Trade over every minion with Q

I've won 5 gold/silver games in a row with it, so it's definitely viable, it's not Ivern supp levels of bad

So basically you played her as midlaner on a support salary?

No, I played her as an Enchanter. The only way around her mana costs is to buy a mana item, I chose ROA because of its price and gold efficiency

I play her mid with something like item 3174(early MR/mana regen and good stats), item 3285 item 3020 item 2065 item 3135 item 3089. You can heal your team while also being a huge damage threat at the same time, basically being a secondary support for the team.
