Short guide but with good tips.
Theres only 1 thing i see in every build, the sorcerer's shoes.
When i'm playing orianna my biggest problem is here q cooldown.
Isn't it better to pick the boots with cooldown ratio?

ah thankyou guys for the feedback! yea this is my first guide so it is pretty basic and lacking in imagery. I agree to some point with you sakeburst, Orianna can't carry ranked games consistently past 1500 (i've tried lol) imo so in comparison to other mages she could use some better scaling.

Forgot to vote first xD.

+1! Nice description and I aggree with the items.

You should add coding and pictures.

This is the most common code: will show Command: Attack

Only one word code: will show Ignite

Pictures: will show

You can change the size of the picture by changing the size number(50 to 40 or any other number).

Hope I helped :).

Very thin guide in several ways, but it's not bad.
I've played Orianna much, and I agree with you on the harassing. It is easy to avoid most skill-***** with her, and you can STILL harass.
In some ways, there isn't really much to be said about Orianna, but one needs to play her to understand her role. She's a very strong mid, but lacks some end-game damage.
It may be that I haven't done enough full-mage Orianna, because I've experienced that since she lacks end-game damage, it's better to go for Crystal Scepter, Abyssal Scepter and such semi-tanky items, so that you may be a semi-support after lvl 18.
Her abilities doesn't scale enough IMO (or her base damage is too low), so I view her more as a disruptor/poker in late-game.
Still, nicely written.
