Orianna as a support

Trash MammaI··3 votes·880 views

I know most people don't like mages being sent bot and I know orianna is a really good spot for mid, but am I the only one who has tried orianna support and found it 10x funner than mid lane and feels so much more rewarding?

her kit fits it nice but I kinda wanna see more into Orianna allowing her to support easier, like more ms along with ap or something even if she has to lose some damage.

She's just so amazing as one

No reason to play Ori over lulu, they bring the same stuff but Lulu scales better with no items.

She's not as boring as lulu imo

While I love Lulu, Orianna is a bit different and that difference can change it up enough if Lulu gets stale.

Besides, if you build item 3116 then all of Orianna's abilities slow now, since cc is already built onto Lulu's kit.

Orianna is quite boring to play in the mid lane. Not saying that she's not strong, or challenging to play, I just find her really boring. As far as support Orianna goes, it's okay. I would prefer to play someone like Lulu over her though.

I've tried her support a few times, I like the idea of it but I haven't really been able to pull it off well. What do you usually build on her?

It's not very different from mid lane. Just build her as an AP carry and use your shield to block early harass until you get 3+ points into "Command: Dissonance". A Tear should give you the cheap early game mana you need after you've upgraded Spellthief's Edge into Frostfang.

I don't really have a usual build on her I only played it a few times and found it very enjoyable. I know mikaels and arcane censor are nice on her due to mana regain/ap. I guess you could build her as a normal mid with SS

Please don't take her support. It's like you're asking to lose.

How so? She doesn't provide any CC until 6, but she is a viable support, and I found her fun to play.

She has no lane presence from low damage and high mana, and if you think 30 extra resistance (at 9) and 120 cooldown knockback count as "utility", you clearly don't main support. Even if she does try to harass she'll hit the creeps. She's great if you hate your ADC, not so great for winning lane.

Her AA's + spelltheif is amazing together..her armor/mr + shield are great for her carry the MS boost is also tons helpful when being ganked. The Q is just for harass.

She's like soraka a backline support, you sit in the back and shield the person that needs it then speed up the other etc. It may not be AS GREAT as other supports but it's most definitely viable and works fine.

Yes, she takes 2 steps forward to AA the enemy team and gets 2 shot. Great idea.

D..did you only read the first 2 lines? Actually w/e people in league just aren't worth dealing with. Good day.

Your first 2 lines were justification for the second 2 lines. The first 2 lines are bullshit, therefore there's no reason to even mention the 2nd ones. You feel brah?

Orianna support is as "viable" as Ahri ADC and Bard jungle. You're gonna throw and waste everyone's time.

Her ball gives vision in bushes, her ult is almost unavoidable CC, she can give a speed buff to allies and slow enemies at the same time.

I love her as support

Agreed, she just seem really meh early game because of cd's/mana cost but late game it becomes the funnest thing ever in teamfights as you're in the backline controlling the ball you just feel like you're the one controlling the team.

Could just be me but once a teamfight breaks out as support ori I just feel so important lol

to me youre never good at orianna or at least have experienced her true potential until you throw the ball on rengar and have him dive the enemy team and then ult

I've never had any luck with her bottom. She has a great support kit. But I always runs out of mana so quickly that I am worthless in lane. And from there it is all down hill.
