A most peculiar sensation came over me when I logged in to see that orianna is on the free list today... Not quite sure if it was an extreme anger or a burning rage and desire to kill... Either way, I picked up some flat mp/5 and gave orianna spin. Only a few games so far so this may be an early analysis, however it seems like the mana and range buffs helped her owning phase quite a bit. She now has the option of poking her opponent down and forcing both to leave on her own or sustain to a fairly decent degree. Forcing a back is probably a wise decision when you have enough for a catalyst. The only complaint after the laming phase that I have is the ball's range. It's just on the edge of where you do and don't want to be, but it's often not enough of a buffer between you and the enemy with the dash, often leaving you and your team exposed. A small range increase might (only might) be that little kick that will afford orianna the ability to poke as well as support when the fight hasn't begun yet.
