One of my first favorite champions, was about to make her my main, but playing her I just was unimpressed by her early game sustain (both health and mana) and while I did well in late game, her health sustain was just bleh all game long.

Now the recent buff doesn't directly help her health sustain, but basically indirectly. By essentially making it so I have free extra damage now on the Q, I can harass with it more and keep enemies away, making what little sustain I have better. The early game is really helped a ton by this buff, and since I'm encouraged to push q up before anything else, it does help the late game as my Q can now be used more rapidly during teamfights.

The buff, although small, really helps a lot. I know Orianna was completely viable before, but I never would go mid with her because there are many characters who are just better mid. Now I'm considering it because her early game is much better.
