What makes Orianna dangerous
Orianna commands a ball that she places on allies or enemies, poking and shielding around it. Her ultimate (Shockwave) pulls or knocks everyone near the ball together — a game-ending wombo when paired with AoE follow-up. She controls space and zones you off objectives.
How to play against Orianna
- 1Always track where her ball is — her damage and ult only happen around it.
- 2Never group up when her ball is on a frontliner; that is her wombo setup.
- 3She is completely immobile: dash or engage on her and she has no escape.
- 4Punish her early mana issues; her combo is expensive before she has items.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓No mobility whatsoever — highly gankable and easy to engage on.
- ✓Retrieving the ball has short range; catch her without it nearby.
- ✓A misplaced or expired ball leaves her with almost no threat.
- ✓Mana-hungry in the early laning phase.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Orianna's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
시계태엽 감기오리아나의 기본 공격은 추가 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 같은 적을 연속으로 공격할수록 추가 마법 피해량도 커집니다.
Strong: her autos scale up and hit harder around the ball. Weak: melee-range magic damage on autos — she's still a squishy caster.
Q
명령: 공격오리아나가 구체에게 목표 지점으로 돌진하라고 명령하여 구체가 대상 지점으로 가는 동안 마주치는 대상에게 마법 피해를 줍니다. 여러 대상을 맞히는 경우 뒤로 갈수록 피해량이 작아집니다. 구체는 목표 지점에 머뭅니다.
Strong: sends the ball to poke and reposition it for combos. Weak: mediocre damage alone — its threat is the ball's position, so track it.
W
명령: 불협화음오리아나가 구체에게 에너지파를 방출하도록 명령하여 근처에 있는 적에게 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 이때 생긴 자기장은 아군의 이동 속도를 높이고 적의 이동 속도는 늦춥니다.
Strong: an AoE burst around the ball that speeds allies and slows you. Weak: fixed radius — leave the ball's area to dodge the damage and slow.
E
명령: 보호오리아나가 구체에게 아군을 따라다니며 이들을 보호하고 도중에 마주치는 적에게 마법 피해를 입히도록 명령합니다. 구체는 또한 보호하는 챔피언의 방어력 및 마법 저항력을 높여줍니다.
Strong: shields an ally and recalls the ball, resetting her setup. Weak: recalling the ball leaves it far from you — engage while it's away.
R
명령: 충격파오리아나가 구체에게 충격파를 방출하도록 명령하여 근처에 있는 적에게 마법 피해를 주며 잠시 뒤 적을 구체 쪽으로 잡아당깁니다.
Strong: pulls or knocks everyone near the ball together — a fight-ending wombo. Weak: it only affects those around the ball, and she's immobile — never clump, then dive her.
Itemization
Magic resist and anti-burst help, but the key is discipline: never clump for her Shockwave, and dive her since she has no escape.
