How do I play vs Orianna?
I think this is the matchup I hate the most in the midlane. I cant deal with anything this champion has in her kit, I feel like she doesnt have any weakness.
-She zones you away from farming with the ball -She has very low cooldowns -She wins every auto trade -She can shield damage while also getting extra resistances -She clears waves pretty fast if she needs to -She is a lane bully -She is pretty strong early -And late -She has some of the best teamfighting tools in the game in her ult and shield
I cant remember the last time I went out of the laning phase considering myself as the winner in the Orianna matchup, I cant do anything against this monstrosity of a champion, no matter what I do.
People have told me before to bait her Q and fight while its on cooldown, but for that to happen, I need minions in my favor which is not easy to do since she can control waves better than most champs in mid, also the moment she throws Q, if she fails it she would just back off and wait for it to be back again or just shield any dmg that goes her way. Dodging her ball is very difficult, it moves way too fast. The range on her Q is indeed low, but it doesnt matter if the simple fact of her moving forwards forces you to back off and not farm. She is also very difficult to kill or engage on since she can just put the ball on herself and ult. And even if I manage to somehow win the lane against her, it only takes a good Orianna ult to win a teamfight.
And before some idiot tells me the typical: ''If she's so strong why dont you play her?''. Well the reason is, I shouldnt be forced to play a champion that I dont feel comfortable with or I just simply dont enjoy the gameplay of that champ.
