It's not rare at all. They just did with Nunu and Nunu was nerfed season 1 long long long LONG ago. | ||

Anyone who's ever laned against Ori knows how much her AAs hurt. Now they are buffing it so you don't need to rely on mutiple AAs to get the damage out. Hopefully they just make the passive a bit stronger late game instead of touching the early component. The global CD buff is really nice for playing her, but, again, awful for those laning against her. One nice reprieve to laning against her was that she couldn't activate W immediately after Q landed. Now she'll be able to dish out a lot more damage much easier. If they're doing what I think they're doing, they are making Orianna's lane into beast mode. This, on top of her already huge utility, will more than likely move her to top tier mid. Don't get me wrong, having more good mids to pick from is awesome (especially Ori), but I think these buffs were definitely over the top. tl;dr I'm going to be playing a lot more Orianna now. | ||

Buffed ratio in exchange of removing the stacks mechanic? I'm not sure exactly what they're doing to it. But yeah, it's sort of like Ziggs' without a timer. It's going to be really strong vs squishy mids (ie: all of them) On July 02 2012 21:56 h3r1n6 wrote: Oriannas passive is better for longer exchanges and she trades better than Ziggs due to her E anyway. Orianna is already one of my main champions and I'll gladly take any buffs, but this might be a bit much. Although less damage but faster cooldown on Q means going oom faster again. Do you build Chalice on Ori? Been a while since I've played her, gonna have to figure out how to build her again with these changes. | ||

With Chalice and double dorans you shouldn't ever run out of mana currently, not sure how much Q is going to get changed, but I doubt it changes much. I only get chalice when I am getting denied blue buff. Edit: I wouldn't get Tear. It does nothing for your trading and you just purposefully make yourself weaker in lane, just to get a big manapool that you don't need and a bit more ap lategame. | ||

His ult isn't that much of a problem imo, in fact he has been like this since the beta, why would they think it's a problem now. The strength of this champ is the fact that he can just regiflash in teamfight, die and still deal insane damage. Seems to me, the real issue is when a team gets more than 1 "good" global ultimate. Shit starts to get abit "unfair", because of how much pressure you can apply with a global heal (soraka) and global damage (karthus) when ganks happen later on in the laning phase. | ||

The only champ who I feel can reliably kill him without much risk is Kog'Maw, due to his extreme range. Tristana late game too. Requium is just the icing on the cake. | ||

Especially since one good wall of pain is all it takes and they're pretty much dead because the rest of your team is going to jump them immediately if they can. The only champ who I feel can reliably kill him without much risk is Kog'Maw, due to his extreme range. Tristana late game too. Requium is just the icing on the cake. A team that can kite a Karthus is a team that will win against Karthus. Edit: Ezreal, Olaf, Ahri, Ali, Janna - Pro anti Karth team right there | ||

to be clear. Ori didn't need buffs, q was hard to hit but it does so much damage on live you learn to bring it in from weird angles, or (in a team fight) people usually have no Fucking clue where the ball is and you can just send it in on the tank. I know I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, or w/e the saying is but, I really don't like that q is getting changed. should be an overall buff but not to my current playstyle. (been going q first since the flat mana change.) | ||
