Oriana op?

AR URF·Jun 5, 2017·3 votes·302 views

Well darn, I had a huge list of comparisons with oriana, ahri, and ekko and I couldn't post it because i had the wrong region selected.

Anyway I'll just have to summerize what I was going to post.

So Oriana is a ridiculously strong midlaner right now with aoe damage and more base damage and ap scaling than ahri and ekko. I've always considered ekko an annoyance to fight because of his damage output, but Oriana definitely takes his spot.

ahri and ekko have like 30-40% ap scaling with less base damage on all their abilities. Oriana has almost twice that amount with the same amount of mana cost on her abilities. IMO left alone someone is going to discover tank Oriana and start a trend just like what happened with fizz before patch 7.10

Anyone else feel the same way? If you're an Oriana main I already know that your answer is most likely going to be biased.

Tank Orianna won't work. Her damage is highly reliant on building ap, and her bases are laughable when they aren't coupled with a good amount of it. She offers good utility, yes, but with her range she works far better building for damage. If you built tank Orianna shiver you'd be losing out on huge amounts of damage for the reward of living a bit longer, which just isn't worth it. She has no abilities that reward you for building tank, and she doesn't have to proper kit to function well as a frontline.

Also, it isn't a good idea to insult a large group of people who will respond to your post, it'll just end up worse for discussion.

You remove a lot of your trustworthiness by saying that. Before you even open up your post for discussion you're already bashing the people who will most likely respond to your post.

Well I might have come off a little strong with that statement, but for the most part anyone is going to say that their main is just fine. I've witnessed it over and over. You find a champ that you like and decide to main him or her and will most likely be triggered when riot nerfs.
