wtf...she is my favorite champ and so much fun to play...in classic mode that is. They keep nerfing her and it's starting to get ridiculous. Tried using her in Dominion and it never seems to work out well. Anybody got any idea on how to make her a worthwhile champ in Dominion?

They might have overnerfed her a bit. The range nerf was probably needed, but the mana nerf wasn't imo. She was pretty normal in lane before, but now she's kinda bad and gets beaten by a lot of champions in lane.

She wasn't overnerfed. She was balanced.

People are just shying away from her because she actually has a difficulty that scales properly her skill-ceiling.
They can't pull off the skill-shots anymore without spamming her abilities senselessly so they're focusing on other champions who are still overpowered.

She's gone down in popularity because she's balanced now and hard to play instead of overpowered and mildly difficult. Anyone who says otherwise either lacks experience or is butt-hurt from the nerfs.

You are 100% right Junsupport. Except of course for the part where you are completely wrong. She was overnerfed. I dont care what build you put on her these days, she just got thrown out of the ring. She isnt balanced. You run outta mana so fast its ridiculous and if u plan throwin your ball around, you put yourself in range to get effed up by Jax (or someone of the similar type) and get killed by a single combo.

All im sayin is, I'm done playin her till they fix her ****. And I hope they do cuz she has such a fun playstyle

@UnXpctd Answers:

Orianna is suppose to be a difficult champion that requires skill and micro-management to properly apply her skills.
She's MADE to have those shorts of risks where she has to get in range to deal her full combo. That's what Clockwork Windup was meant to encourage.

You need skill and timing to pull off getting into close range for your nuke - That's how Orianna is suppose to work. If you can't - You're suppose do poorly.

Riot doesn't need to fix Orianna; true Orianna players who don't care about her being overpowered just need to learn to play her again.

No one cares if you won't play her anymore - Riot doesn't want you playing Orianna if she has to be OP


She was not meant to be easy - If you felt she was fine before, too bad. She was too easy. Her fun play style was suppose to reward people who could actually play her well, not effortlessly.
You just suck with her and liked her when she was overpowered - Deal with it



edit: Browsed your low-post profile.

You think Tryndamere's ult is "bs" ? lolololol - Playing Tryndamere is really difficult, only noobs think it's overpowered and can't appreciate the timing and intuition requires to use it at the right times and play Trynd well.

No, jun. She was a LITTLE overnerfed, but certainly not much ofc. Her lane was never anything more than strong, but nerfing the range of her AAs by 50 and her ball by 100 made a BIG dent in her laning power. Adding the 10 increased mana cost on that would pretty much cripple her in a lot of matchups and she'll flat out lose them..
