Tips Against Orianna in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

twin7zz says “Very hard matchup if the player is good, if you need to go dshield second wind dont be afraid to do so, you need to bait out her Qs by pretending to go for last hits, its your only way to farm Q her dmg, and play the war of attrition correctly.”
Soul0fghost says “Skill shot matchup. She will Q-W when you walk up to cs so bait it out and E her. Dont get ganked and push her out of lane. You also outscale”

uramakyo says “She outranges you slightly but struggles in extended trades. Bait her ball positioning then punish with Q+E spam. Scales worse than you overall.”

star zall says “I generally like to go ROA Shurelia, with early runes setup, as in this matchup if you do not try to get prio, in lane , she can easily use her ball to bully you under turret, for the rest of the laning phase, however early game do try to position yourself to hit the wave a bit, and be far away from the ball, and get a decent first base, whether my build setup with sapphire crystal and faerie charm with refill potion, or tear with refill potion, depending on what setup u go.”
V222 says “You should be careful about E'ing in lv1 if she has boneplating. Some Orianna players might start E or even W to deny your passive proc lv1 and run you down with her strong passive autos after. You can click on her and see if she has bonus armor/mr, which would mean she started E; or just wait for her to place the ball down/try to bait her to Q you to see what she starts. It is viable to jump on her lv1 if she has Q on CD. Your main goal should still be to preserve HP and proc her boneplating with Qs for level2. If she doesn't have boneplating E'ing on her lv1 can work very well. Lv2 you can start trading more. Try to bait out her QW with E. Even if you can't get a trade dodging her QW damage is very worth for the mana to HP ratio. Some Oriannas will go E lv2, but if her ball is far away you can still EQ her and even proc your passive before she can shield most of the damage. You will get a feeling for how far away the ball has to be for this timing with HOB. In general you want to hover the opposite side of where Oriannas ball is so you have more space to dodge it . Orianna has very short cooldowns and extremely strong autos earlygame so make sure to not extend the trades unless you have extreme killpressure on her. The best openings to trade with her earlygame are when she either Q's the ground to setup her next Q and when she wastes her QW trying to poke you. Otherwise she can just EW herself and then Q you after while having shorter cooldowns to set up her Q again. Usually this won't happen though so it's best to trade with your W shield. After around first reset you should look to play to push and move and especially around lv7-lv9 her Q becomes so low cooldown that Orianna becomes extremely hard to deal with in lane. W yourself and try to avoid her from this point on to make plays with your jungler and your sidelanes. E to dodge her poke. You can buffer Oriannas ult pullback with a well timed E2. When Orianna ults you after a trade to pull you back, make sure your ult is in a good position so you don't get ulted and then cant ult away. Most of the time it's better to straight up ult her ult. You can try to dodge forward with your E into her ball so you don't get pulled back in case you are not able to fully dodge the R. Even in sidelane Orianna can beat you 1v1 if she has seraphs/mercs/phaserush as long as you dont flank her or she gets to poke you before so try to flank her and play to hit and run.”
Young Ryze says “Skill matchup. If shes good, just clear waves and perma roam post 6. Keep distance and poke using minions.”

Soul0fghost says “4th hardest matchup. Setup ganks and play for early push. Make a triangle out of her and the ball. Try to roam and stack drags.”

V222 says “(D shield) Orianna is skill matchup, U can E start into her level 1, grasp or lethal tempo are both fine, I would recommend running ignite in this matchup, try to windwall her E if u are close to her ball so she doesnt get shield, u can kill her early levels, after she buys boots and mana items its hard to get a kill, but she is still killable on sidelane. ”

Soul0fghost says “If she gets a isolated 1v1 its the hard but if your jg ganks you and punishes her its easy. Make a triangle with her and her ball to dodge it. You can also E in when she throws it out. You will out scale if you go even.”

LoLTriton says “She can keep your passive down forever while also staying out of tower range, perma slowing you when you try to engage, and she's better at team fighting than you. Recommend playing extremely safe or dodging”
