Orianna Tips and Tricks

Use poke combos to chip away at the enemy's health bar, but be aware that you’re an easy target for ganks, so don’t go overboard when trading. Play for team fights. Stay in the backline and keep your ball E on the champion who is most likely to engage and set your R up. Prioritize farming well and making safe coordinated plays. Orianna doesn’t have the luxury or the survivability compared to other mid laners, so smart plays are important.
