User blog comment:AtheistUntoDeath/Which of these Champions Would win? Part 4/@comment-24946635-20140524231644/@comment-10257787-20140526205900

I really agree with your argumentation now

You're right, both her dissonance and shockwave could wreck havoc in a factory and her shockwave could send a big chunk of metalparts flying around as we cannot know in which directly it would fly, as i've always experienced her ingame ult to drag everything in its center, but we agreed that ingame experience is unreliable. The thing is, and i really think it applys to both, Viktor and Orianna, that they both have some kind of shield, and neither of them is strong enough to block the energy fields and death rays they're gonna get hit by, they still should be able to block some basic attacks like sharp metal gears or that things just thrown by viktor

Another thing is, that it is obvious that i highly favour Viktor in this matchup, just like nearly everyone else here. That led to my assumption that Viktor could be quite mobile and Orianna not as agile as described. After reading your arguments, i still believe that what i said is basically correct, but denying Orianna her whole agility was outright wrong. You proved that by pointing out how lore and model clearly show that part of her concept and i can respect that

You also brought up the motivation of the ball, and that's a rather interesting point, because everyone else seems to have forgotten it. After playing her quotes and lore again i can confirm that her ball does in fact have some kind of motivation and it seems like he wants to protect Orianna at all cost, meaning if he identifies Viktor as a threat for Orianna, he'd be highly motivated to take him out

At the end of the day, I think we all can agree that Viktor wins this matchup. It has just gone so far beyond pure fanboy arguments, and nearly every theory I've read here has a good backup by facts from lore and things like that. The problem in this matchup is, that Orianna is in fact a dangerous opponent that should not be underestimated, but everything stated here favours Viktor, not only the environment. He just counters Orianna, let us say it like this.

What makes Orianna strong is the fact, that she and her ball fight together and build a strong team, but that doesn't mean that they have to power of two champions. Someone like Viktor has more firepower alone then those two together. Furthermore, one of Oriannas biggest advantages is that many champions can't concentrate on two opponents at the same time, but Viktor can. He's stated to be one of the intelligent champions, that's why Orianna is at disadvantage from the very beginning.

Let us agree, that this is a fight David vs Goliath. We can argue as much as we want, Goliath (in this case Viktor) is stronger, better armed, more experienced would win nearly every fight. Let David fight against Goliath. He would lose. 9 out of 10 fights he would get killed by the superior opponent, but in 1 out of 10 fights he's the winner. What if that 1 fight is the first one? Then Orianna could surpass Viktor on the battlefield, as she still has possibilites and advantages that make her a force to reckoned with

You fought a battle you cannot win my friend, but unlike everyone else, you tried and gave your best. I really respect that. I think you really got Orianna that better treatment she deserverd.
