Talk:Orianna/@comment-89.158.42.68-20120701073648

Hi everyone, I recently fell in love with our clockwork lady and I wanted to have feedbacks about a stuff that I tried quite a lot of times and that always worked:

It's a mix of utility/dps/burst orianna. So far I always dominated my lane and I always found my place in teamfights.Orianna's passive has quite a huge potential of dps and there are few items in the game that scales well with ap and as (such as guinsoo's for instance, or nashor's tooth).

The runes I run are:

-attack speed red

-flat mana regen yellow

-ap scale blue

-flat ap quints

I always start with boots and 3 pots (classic starter :D) stay quite passive til lvl 3 and then start zoning with q + w. Orianna farms pretty well so you won't have much money problems.

after my first back, I like to pick 2 doran's rings, cause it gives a good mana regen, a little hp pool (even after the nerf) and 30 enjoyable ap. (Don't forget to buy wards too :p).

Warding is quite important cause with this orianna you should (as long as the enemy mid laner doesn't have a huge range) be able to zone hard the enemy even if he is under his tower and then being able to deny him hard. If the enemy ap carry isn't a big threat for the team, it's also worth it to gank bot/top (otherwise, keep zoning and denying him) and try to counter jungle with the help of your jungler (ward wraith ftw)

I usually take my items in this order:

fiendish codex > catalyst > finish nashor's tooth > finish RoA > Guinsoo > Rabadon > and a situational 6th item. The order of the items is also situational, if you can face a hard damaging ap carry (leblanc/brand/etc) an early abyssal scepter is the way to go. QSS is also a good item if you face a heavy cc team (supressions are heavily affected by QSS)

The boots are also situational, you can go mercury's treads (cause they are the best boots in the game) but berserker's greaves are very nice cause with nashor's tooth and guinsoo your auto attacks will deal significant damage, sorcerer's shoes are also a good choice..

If you want to try this build out, don't forget that you need 4 things: A good ability to farm/warding/good knowledge of orianna/good positionement in teamfights

In mid game this build can make you deal around 500 damages in 3 sec only with your auto attacks, add your abilities damage for a hard depop of any squishy.

I would like to have your feedbacks 'bout this build.
