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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Also, the ball's movement speed is really slow. If the ball is attached to her, and she straight up tries to hit you with it, she isn't going to hit it. It has to already be on the ground near you. Her ultimate has a really long casting time, so you can almost always dodge it.

Want to know why Amumu is bad at high elo? It's because people spread themselves out so they aren't caught by their ultimate. Orianna's ultimate is actually really small, and they have to be basically on top of your ball for them to get hit.

If you think she's ugly, then that's your opinion and that's it. Personally, I think that she looks great.

Even though she counters all these champions, all those champions can still counter her - with knowledge. Read the part about the ball's movement speed.

No, you can build her with many items. item 3165 item 3001 item 3027 item 3040 item 3151 item 3100 item 3089 item 3116 item 3135 item 3157 item 3020 and item 3174 if you're still a fan of it.

Slow, shield, knockup, and knockback? You mean Thresh, Nautilus, Blitzcrank, Poppy, and Maokai?

I think this is satire lmao.

Good one op. I do think she needs some toning down if only slightly.

Hey, why don't you tell us how she's the most OP cancer in LoL, and then go on to tell us no one plays her or notice if she's gone. That makes perfect sense:

"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."

You do understand Orianna has never recieved hard buffs/nerfs in 7 years of existance, she has won the most polls for the most balanced and well designed champion in the game by far, she is one of the 5 hardest champion in the league, she has very original visual design and has a huge playerbase constantly... I really hope you are joking, otherwise please dont ever play this game again because people like you are ruining this community (ffs you said Ori is more toxic than Cancersuo...)
