Orianna Mid and Late Game
What Orianna does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Orianna farms well (percentile 76): keep catching side waves between fights.
- Orianna wins 7.9 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Playing Orianna
- Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.
- Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.
- Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.
Playing Against Orianna
- Orianna can only affect the area the Ball is around. Use this to your advantage.
- Watch out for Orianna's Ball returning to her due to leashing. This may cause some unexpected situations.
