Okay, lot's of QQs for Orianna for her free week. Expected I suppose, but let's take a look at what people all QQ about.

Damage. Damage. Damage damage damage. Low AP ratios, low base damage. Damage.

So I went and flipped through the patch history: the only time her damage has ever been nerfed was on Dissonance, which received a -0.1 AP ratio and -20 base damage. Ulti damage was said to be 'fixed' but there's no real numbers to whatever the 'bug' caused it to deal. Shield strength received a -0.2 AP ratio, but not on the damage part. She was considered OP before her range nerf: with practically the same amount of damage.

Conclusion: either the meta's changed since the time of her release or there are too many people who try her, cannot realise her potential and rage about it.

I will let other contributors ponder as to which conclusion is the more likely.

PS: Against tanky DPS's, buy a Deathfire Grasp.
