To all the Dring -> Deathcap rushers, especially those beyong 1800 elo: wtf do you do in teamfights when your blue buff is down? QRW, another round of EW or QW and then bluepill back cause you ran oom?

lvl 18 mana pool: 1150
Spamming all spells as soon as they are up:
0 sec: QWER: 380 (mana used total)
4 sec: Q: 440
8 sec: Q: 500
9 sec: WE: 670
12 sec: Q: 730
16 sec: Q: 790
18 sec: WE: 960
20 sec: Q: 1020
24 sec: Q: 1080
27 sec: E: 1140

If you had no regen, you'd be oom here. But 27 sec have passed. 3 DRings + 3/3 Meditation + natural regen gives you 30 MP5. So after 27 sec you have regained 165 mana, so you now have 175 mana left over.

27 sec: W: 110
28 sec: Q: 170

Now you're officially oom. After 30 seconds of constantly spamming every single of your abilities.

Sure at some levels you use a bigger percentage of your max mana for each cast, I'd guess lvl 9 would be the worst (11 and 16 are not worse than others as the ult lvl up only increases the cost by as much as your max mana increases and you only cast your ult once per fight). But then again you typically don't spam all your abilites as soon as they are available either.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

You are assuming
a) No CDR
and b) full mana pool in the first place.

Without mana items a single QW combo to farm a creepwave already costs you a whooping 15% of your total mana pool. Throw in an EW to shrug off a poke or get better positioning and you're already in major mana trouble since you already blew 1/3rd of your total mana. Since farming a lot quickly and buffing her team here and there are huge strenths of Orianna, I feel that those builds completely reduce her to something she isn't by default: A pure AP burst caster.


Don't know really, I keep trying the DRing -> Deathcap build and I keep feeling like a worse version than Annie for the above reasons.


Edit: Actually, let me change my original question.. what is your mindset when playing Drings -> Deathcap builds? Is it "I will get off 1-2 bursts and do enough damage so my team clean up."?

That might explain why I'm failing so hard with it, 'cause mine is more like "Get the maximum out of buffs/debuffs on everyone, whenever possible while nuking people if possible." - I think I actually focus more on helping my tanky dps shred their targets than to target people myself.

I don't think you get how much 30 seconds for constant spam off max mana is.
For example:
Malzahar goes oom after 18 seconds without bonus mana.
Anivia goes oom after 8 seconds without bonus mana.

Simply said: Orianna's mana costs are low compared to her base mana.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Malzahar also rarely builds bonus mana. Orianna only has mana problems for poking situations not teamfights.

Ill try cata first then next time I will still get tear for AA later on.

r.Evo: Yes, what you wrote is correct. 3dring to dcap gives you about 300ap with standard caster runepage (scaling aps and stuff), which at that point of the game is huge buttloads of AoE damage. Your mindset is to catch as many high priority targets as you can with R, then combo them and win the teamfight.

You can easily, easily, EASILY kill the bot laners with a burst rotation + ignite, and leave either solo / jungler with about 30%-50% hp. You need to treat your ult like Annie, waiting for a great opening and blowing them all up. I only use my skills defensively like you mention when it's obvious we lost the teamfight and we need to cut down our losses, or in small skirmishes.

I might upload a replay later today, although I only have replays with cata opening...my play-style is pretty much the same tho.

Here's a 3dring dcap game,

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3881391/replay_23-07-11_12-27-30.lrf

I play alright save for a super herp derp moment where I try to bait arrow and zhonyas it and instead end up shielding myself out of habit. But basically it's just to show the playstyle of the build path.

lol nice flash ganks on bottom. Although you'd think they would start warding the tri bush after the first one. One thing I noticed that you do differently is that you had deathcap, or at least the components, before buying boots 2, so I'll try that out.

edit: works as advertised :|

also i'd love to see more replays in general, could be a nice addition to the op

Yeah, I started trying to think I'm Annie and not the spambot I started to love Orianna for - working since then. Personally right now I'm going for RoA versions when I expect to be exposed to burst a lot, the Deathcap versions any other time.

Add some general information about the replay (short 2-3 sentence comment, elo, server etc.) and I'll add it in the OP.

Heh thanks, I was actually purposely hunting for those opportunities because I've been playing too passive lately. I often finish dcap before finishing boots 2, because if my hunch is correct, it gives the most damage come midgame. I'll do the actual math later today tho, I'm curious now.

I'll look through my replays and see if there's another good one.

1850~ US Server game, blue side, using the dring stack into dcap build path. Went mid-lane vs ???*, ganked bottom lane a few times and overall had some good teamfights with only 1 or 2 big mistakes.

*please confirm for me, I don't remember and can't check atm

Start mana crystal + pots into catalyst if you're just starting out, and just focus on farming safely by applying pressure with your skills. You shouldn't die much as Orianna, abuse your range and the fact that your Ult is such a strong threat in teamfights. Tear will just make you easy to kill and easy to ignore.

Learning exactly when your ball teleports back to you is apparently a really good skill to have.

Every now and then I look like a total tard cause I'll try to ult people while fleeing and whoops, the ball teleported right before I clicked it and i miss everyone.

Or I shield myself but die before the ball gets to me but if I'd just walked like another 2 steps and THEN shielded me I'd have lived because it would have warped and been instant. Derp.
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

It's ok I do this all the time too.

Especially the ult part why I'm running away.

Uh. All my old replays stopped working after this patch, so I'll have to wait until they fix this or I record new games.

Does anybody else have this problem?

Added your replay, not sure on the recorder thing though. Can someone confirm/deny it? Don't have access to it on this comp.

@Everyone: Feel free to submit replays with the format posted in the OP if you feel you had a particular well-played Orianna game. Please make sure to have your links sorted out, I'm not gonna proofwatch/reupload unless it seems to become necessary.
