Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-5 as she auto-attacks freely between your Q casts while Q/W poke forces your empowered Q into sustain mode instead of trading.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R+E+empowered Q if she mispositions, but she counters your engage with R and maintains safer wave control for mid-game advantages.
How to Trade
- Use Q on minions when Orianna's abilities are on cooldown, then look for E+Q trades when she steps up to harass.
- Pool her R+W combo or use it to gap close for all-ins once you have kill pressure.
Wave Control
- Accept early CS deficits and focus on sustaining through Q on minions while avoiding unnecessary poke.
- Post-6, look for aggressive positioning to threaten all-ins and force Orianna into defensive play.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Pool defensively against her basic poke - save it for her R+W combo or jungle ganks.
- Avoid using E on minions when Orianna can punish you with free Q+W trades during the channel time.
