Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Orianna's superior range and poke potential with Q-W combos.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure if you can land E2 and steal her R for teamfight-winning potential.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E1-E2-Q-W-AA when she steps up for CS or mispositions her ball.
- You need to commit fully to trades since you can't match her poke damage in short exchanges.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to hit level 6 first, then look for roam timings or all-ins when her R is down.
- You struggle to match her waveclear mid-game, so prioritize map plays over lane control.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't take repeated Q-W poke without trading back, as you'll be forced out of lane without sustain.
- Avoid using E1 without guaranteed E2 follow-up since it's your only gap closer and escape tool.
