Playing against Orianna
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Watch the ball's position: if it's close to you, move away to avoid the R (pull).
2
Orianna is immobile and relies on her positioning — assassins who can gap-close punish her well.
3
Her R is powerful but has a small radius: spread out so she can't pull everyone.
4
If Orianna E's an engaging ally, expect the R when that person dives.
