How come nobody plays Orianna support?
LoL EuW: Zhiroo - By starting this squabble you've proven nothing but how vast your stupidity is.

You can, and while her harass is pretty top-notch she has no hard cc like Zyra does until 6, and it's nowhere near the huge range. Her AP ratio as well are pretty ridiculous and without AP Orianna is more or less a wasted pick.

Lux support is really similar, with a level 1 snare.

Do people consider roots to be hard CC? I always heard the definition that hard CC = things that break channels but that counts silences in and roots out, although I think generally people prefer roots to silences if given the choice

As far as I know, hard CC is what prevents you from controlling your character. (stun, fear, knockups and -backs).
Snares are borderline, some people say it's hard since it prevents one from chasing/running away.


Quite some time ago when the support Orianna question emerged, the worst answer was: play Janna instead.
Her mana is way easier to manage.
Lulu also works imo.

diana E breaks channels but i hardly see it as hard cc. it wont stop a bruiser/adc from neutering you with just autoattacks

My definition:
Hard CC: Prevents a character from moving (Root, Stun, Knockup)
Soft CC: Slows a character down
Disables: Prevents a character from performing actions but doesn't neccessarily slow him or prevent him from moving (Silence, Knockback)

And then there's Amumu ult, which is a tangle and Lulu W which screw up every categorization system.

Hmm, I don't think Irelia needs a nerf. :O

I think Vlad is the champ with the most nerfs still though. Irelia close behind.


Irelia does not have one bad matchup. I mean she can still hold her ground against Jayce. That should tell alot.
I think her kit is way to good. I think its her "e" which resets when you kill a target.

and mvp white may have lost the game at this point.


I just had an irelia in my team, the enemy picked udyr, irelia said that was a bad matchup, and lost pretty hard. True or just bad play?

udyr is probably biggest counter to irelia, he completely shits on her in lane

He has to push to do it tho, so he can quite easily be camped if she doesn't let him freeze the wave. But she can't get near him before level 8 or so (when her stuns gets longer so she can get some hiten hits in before he turtles).


Why do you need to push? Tiger > Phoenix for lane udyr.

You have to auto her, contrary to, say, Shen or Jayce, so you'll push the lane.

I just learnt the hard way that DFG's projectile speed and Eve's ult are too fast for the delay in Sivir's spellshield to kick in, unless you cast preemptively when she runs at you but isn't in range yet. Urgh. And that game had also Sona and WW in it, so even QSS on top of that wasn't enough. I should prob have just bought banshee in retrospect, the passive is only "bad" if the opposing team has poke (which they didn't).

Pushing early game on udyr is pretty much a death sentence since he doesn't really have any escapes you want at least say level 4 turtle stance before going agressive unless you're safe from wards or something else.

Isn't it a bit late then, if you can't bully Irelia early on (unless she pushes) and you have to wait for her sweet spot before making your move?

I'm a big fan of support Ori. She's no Soraka/Sona/Taric but if you want to do something unconditional she's pretty fun. Her biggest problem is you're going to need chalice, and it's going to delay your aura items.

I found her best with a lane bully like Draven. Her ball provides MR/AR even when the shield is down, as long as the ball is on the target, so he's bullying you leave it on him, when he's last hitting you keep in the bush for zoning/control.

if you go draven, nunu support da best. BB really helps w/ mobility because draven has no escape (i dont really count the E) and lets him catch axes ez, and that atkspd means you do ridiculous damage.

id go lulu or janna over orianna personally. she's not bad, but lulu/ janna has stronger poke and more utility. lulu passive is useful, but orianna passive needs money to be good.

Like, Draven + anything isn't bad, saying a support is good because they can win lane with Draven is like saying everytime I play Karma top and Froggen is my mid we win the game, I think there is something to this Karma top.

The fact of the matter is Draven does really well against Graves/Corki and better than most vs Ez .
Carrilord has arrived.
