last game i went
double philo -> kage's -> another philo -> deathcap -> elesai's -> sorcs -> deathfire grasp -> shurelia's -> rylais to some success

i'm starting to think maxing EW is more important than maxing QW.

lane with xin, throw E on him, he charges, his slow runs out as he pops them up, you re-slow with W and speed xin, he get's another round of pop-up. deadly combo

with max cdr and some good AP you can keep your tanky dps perma-shielded with a perma shurelia on them. pretty nice

I think that's all relative.

She involves more control then the average LoL hero but that is still less then your average RTS requires.

That and if you're lazy you can always put your ball on someone who's always in the middle of everyone.

What I liked most so far: 2 Faerie Charms + 3 Pots, uprade to 2 Philos, Boots1, Catalyst, CDR Boots, RoA, Deathcap, upgrade Philos (Shurelya's/Elesai's), Voidstaff

CDR/AP is the way to go IMO. Philos will make sure that you can keep spamming your spells from the get to. I've seen others go Tear/Archangel's or massing DRings. The one lacks HP/HP regeneration and the other lacks Mana. Philos + RoA = best option IMO.

In a duo lane against heavy harassment I really like the Q/E-combo with just one level in W. Keep that ball passing through enemies all the time while shielding off most harassment.

In solo lane or when laning with a bulky/tanky DPS zoning opponents with Q/W works like a charm.

Her animations are awesome (remind me of female Bloodelfs in WoW) and her spells need quite some predicting while you need to be aware of your and your ball's position at all time. Very fun and challenging champion.

Sometimes when I use Q the ball won't go where I point and instead to a random spot near Orianna. It's only happened every 3 games or so but it makes me look like a real noob when it happens.
Maybe it's because I smartcast all my spells but it's never happened with any other skill.

Also I found out that trying to be too fancy with her spells just makes her worse. If you're going AP carry style then it's usually better to hog the shields and blast people in front of you with the ball and if you're going support then you just protect whoever's being focused and use Q to put your W and R in useful places. Trying to do both doesn't really work.

QWWE ---> R > W > Q > E
Open with crystal+2pots.

Catalyst -> T1 Boots -> RoA -> CDR Boots -> Deathcap -> Rylais -> Voidstaff -> Zhonyas/FoN/Banshees.


In lane you're a huge bully, abuse that. E seems useless to me until lategame when you have huge amounts of AP anyway. W > Q cause W is AoE and it slows which is nice for jungle ganks. Keep in mind that your autoattacks actually DO stuff compared to other AP carries.

RoA rush to abuse that your spells have high base damage and not that great of AP scaling. Being beefy AND dishing out huge damage/utility is your bread and butter compared to most other AP carries. (Actually this build feels like swain, just with way more punch).

Also: Farm like a boss. Call for gank whenever your ult is up. q/w your opponent like a boss.

Only champ I'm having real trouble against is Annie. Even Malz seems easy cause you just outrange him.


For extra fun, get a singed to lane solo top.
E him, double slow, double fling, poison.

(Had one fun game with roaming eve, Jarmander top, Singed 1n2 bot and jungle Yi. Kick them to 20% health with full combo, let Yi clean up. The end.)

that's a bug that happens rarely with positional skills
it happens to me about 1/500 times i use trundle's pillar too
it has something to do with casting it at max range while you're moving and it casts it right on top of you. real dumb. if i knew more about what exactly caused it i would let you know

These are my thoughts exactly on her. My gf plays singed, its a pretty godly combo. Everything you say about the items and skilling rings true to me as well.

Yay Orianna free week.
Mejai's too strong on GLaDOS.
Step 1) Attach ball to tank/carry
Step 2) Tank/carry kills enemy champion
Step 3) ????
Step 4) Profit!

Seriously though, way too easy to stack on her.

I bought and played her for a week or so. She is pretty strong against people that play passive but she doesn't take well to enemies that suddenly rush on her.

Pretty big manawhore though, even with a tear you often find mana to be a problem.

I don't know how anyone who understands her doesn't think she's crazy broken. She can't lose lane and brings great utility and AoE damage, and her sustained damage outdoes most AP.

. The best part about her is when your team picks another ap carry last pick, then tries to send you bot lane.. even though when you picked her first pick you said, ap solo.

Don't understand -_-
