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

Most comments seem in support of Viktor. I think we should focus on the fact that we have two very, very squishy champions here.

As far as direct damage, I find it obvious that Viktor has more raw power. No question there. But does that matter? Neither champion can handle much damage anyway, so even if VIktor has way more destructive potential in his blasts, both champions attacks can be qualified as "sufficient to kill". Basically, I think it's obvious that either champ can rip the other to shreds pretty quickly, if given the opportunity.

So the question is not who is stronger, but 'who is going to land the first big shot'?

I think that Orianna will be the one to land the big hit. The main reason I say this is that we're really dealing with a 2v1, which gives Orianna a much better chance of landing shots. (I'm not counting Viktor's drone because it does not act independently.) The ball can communicate with Orianna instantly, can fly though walls, and can think for itself. So that's a big plus.

Also, Viktor's advantage of knowing tech so well will not help him much directly. Orianna was made with a "different type of techmaturgy" and was made by her father without collaboration. So, Viktor does not have any inside information about what makes Orianna 'tick'. She's even notoriously difficult to understand.

So people right now are probably thinking about all of the objects and stuff to hide behind. Lots of little things can complicate it. Maybe Viktor can create a little shield robot to follow him around and take hits. Maybe they'll just be playing cat-and-mouse all over the factory. Please think again. None of either champion's damaging spells are blockable. Viktor's Q never misses, his laser cuts through things easily, and the ball can fly through walls and damage through them too. It can even freaking teleport (when leash is overextended.) So the key element is the ability to dodge an attack without using cover. I think that Orianna has a huge advantage here. She's a dancer and smaller and has practice dodging things in the open. Viktor is not.

We have one final issue, "''Help from sentient allies (such as Gangplanks Cannon Barrage) are forbidden." ''I think that the ball doesn't qualify as fully sentient, so it's still in. That was my two cents.
