It's Time to do Something about Orianna
I've been playing League of Legends for about 4 years now, and i can honestly say Orianna is the worst cancer in this game. I can handle Fizz, Kennen, Yasuo, and even Urgot, but Orianna is absolutely ridiculous. Here's why:
-
Orianna has so much utility its insane. She has a slow, a shield, a knock up, and a knock back. How can something like this be allowed in League? There is not a single champion in all of League that has this much utility on top of all of the insane dmg that she deals out.
-
Horrible design. By far the worst design of any champion. Oddly enough, i've seen a lot of people saying that she is perfectly designed, but i challenge you to really think about it. The ability to place the ball on top of a champion is the most broken thing in the entire game. All you have to do is put it on Malphite, and as soon as he knocks them all up, dealing a ton of dmg, you stun them again, and nuke them yourself. This is just disgusting. The worst part, it takes no skill to pull this off. All you have to do is click R when they're in range.
-
Ugly character. I dont know who they hired to do orianna's art and general character design, but she is by far the nastiest champion i have ever seen. Even Urgot looks better than her. The splasharts are all awful, and none of her skins are remotely good. When i was mystery gifted Goth Orianna, i was about ready to pay Riot to take it off my account. Potentially the worst thing i've ever seen.
-
She completely counters a ton of champions in an unfair way. Have you ever played as Yasuo against an Orianna? I've only done it once, and it was almost enough to make me quit playing league forever. It's the most unfair matchup ever. Orianna doesnt even have to go near the wave to cs perfectly, her mana costs are way too low, and the dmg is insane.
-
Finally, She's extremely one dimensional. You build the same way on her every game, you play the same way, it's the exact same thing in every single game. This makes for boring gameplay and boring to watch.
I can think of some ways that you can fix this champion. First off, you could simply delete her. Her fanbase is small enough that it wont really matter if you get rid of it, honestly if you didnt tell anyone and just did it, i dont think anyone would notice because no one cares about this champion. Obviously though, i know you guys dont like to delete champions. So some recommendations are nerfing her dmg, raising her mana costs, and deleting her passive. Her passive is insane dmg and doesnt belong on an already strong champion. I think these would be good placeholders until you inevitably have to rework the champion. I hope some Riot employees see this and can give me some insight on what is going to be done about Orianna.

if you're still a fan of it.
