ADC Orianna

[quote=Ilynx]The other day, I played a game where someone played Orianna as adc. The player was convinced that it was a decent idea because of her passive. So far as I know, Orianna's passive doesn't aid her that much in terms of the extra 50 damage + 40% ap. The bad thing about her passive is that, as I have said, its damage scales with the [b]ap[/b] that she has, not the [b]ad[/b]. Any thoughts on the position?[/quote]

[quote=Deadlydave]I think ADC [[Orianna]] sounds terrible though I think with the coming buffs to on-hit items, on hit [[Orianna]] may become viable.[/quote]

[quote=luizdeh]^ this. New [[wit's end]] and [[nashor's tooth]] should work wonders on [[kayle]], [[teemo]] and [[orianna]] (if that's what you're going for). Basically, any AP caster with a decent AA steroid should benefit from these items.[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]It does work. Max E first and go mid, shield yourself and autoattack enemy to death[/quote]

[quote=MyRepublic][quote=DarkPercy] It does work. Max E first and go mid, shield yourself and autoattack enemy to death [/quote] wouldn't adc Janna be better for that purpose[/quote]

[quote=DisturbedFox]useless piece of crap[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=DarkPercy] It does work. Max E first and go mid, shield yourself and autoattack enemy to death [/quote] I think that's just AD mid Orianna. ADC Orianna (like, if you're trying to play her as if she was a normal ADC in bot lane with a support) has 525 range, which is a bit shorter than most adcs. She also has no escapes, no AD scalings and her CC is fairly lackluster without accompanying burst damage. Basically there isn't a great reason to play her as an ADC. She'll get outscaled pretty hard in team fights because her range and kit doesn't suit an ADC and I doubt her laning phase would be particularly strong. To put it in perspective, you could play a real ADC without an escape like [[varus]], deal a lot more damage with AD items and you have a stronger CC on your ultimate. Any ranged champion can use autoattacks to harass in early laning phase and they can always throw some autos in between spells or when they're waiting for them to come off cooldown. Just build Orianna as an AP carry and you can use her passive effectively. Just because it buffs her autoattacks doesn't mean she would work well as an ADC.[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]There's no ''bot lane'' included in ADC :P. AD carries can go mid. But yeah, the thread is probably about regular bot lane ADC Orianna, which doesn't work so well.[/quote]

[quote=ValeCallampaXD]One thing is that you "CAN" do it or its "viable", and the other one is that its really a good choice. I use [[orianna]] a lot, mid and support, and both are good choices, but adc..... at least [[kayle]] has a LOT of damage scaling in his e, but ori would have no critical, would be pretty weak as with no ap you'll have no shield, and would get eaten by any [[tristana]] [[caitlyn]] or any regular adc.[/quote]

[quote=Joshified]You could potentially build her similar to [[Kennen]]? Starting out with some early [[Doran's blade]]s then building ap would be interesting...[/quote]
