I must disagree with the Liandry's Torment for one reason. In the passive you will see the effects take double damage if their movement speed is impaired and that works so well with dissonance.

1. off all a nice guide very short but very detailed BUT i would rather skill e first and max ist last cause then you have an early answer to Syndra and Fizz etc.

I also dslike lyandries cause the life it provides is a bit low and the DoT is very slghtly i mean: 20 per tick on 5 sec = 100 dmg but after that it provides you nothing ...
so i would build this only if the enemy is staking a huge amount of life

and last but not least Ziggs is not a hard counter ^^

but all in all a fine guide

Smart cast isn't a necessity at all some really good players (like Faker) don't even use it ... it only depens on your playstyle

I also disagree with the Liandry's Torment in most situations.

I read your section on Q vs W max and I have to say that I don't think you kept your audience in mind. Remember that those who use guides are mostly new players or are new to the champion. As such, it is ill-advised to recommend W max based on the reasoning that mechanically skilled players do it.

I suggest that you recommend Q max but add a note that if the player is comfortable with hitting Q, W max will provide for a more dominant laning. Then also if they have to do defensive laning, E max may be more prudent.

Not convinced Rod of Ages is ever a choice to make.

Otherwise, pretty okay guide, imo.

Great guide! However, I do not agree with Liandry's Torment. Not very useful on Orianna. Orianna has no DoT whatsoever, making the passive a little wasted.
