What do you think about adding a little of damage to the build?

(43) |

Alas I’ve tried many versions of adding any amount of damage, and it just falls flat every time. This makes sense to some extent; using the abilities for their utility is usually mutually exclusive with using them for damage. You kind of have to pick one or the other.

Would love an update to this guide.:)

honestly great guide, ever since ive wanted to get into orianna support this has been a great help

Dear Aqua Dragon, could you update this guide? coz it is awesome

Hello Aqua Dragon. The guide is good, and i'm pretty sure it still is with the new changes, but what about the new cosmic drive? I'ts still worth building it?

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! After taking the last month to experiment, I think there's a place for it, though it's more niche than it was previously was since there's almost always something more specific I'd rather have instead (until like, the last two items). I'll be updating the guide very soon.

Awesome breakdown of what to do in each phase of the game. Really helped me understand how to use her better as a Support VS a Mid laner. Good guide!

Great build, but I slightly disagree with the runes. I personally use Sorcery + Resolve, the opposite what you do. It changes Guardian and Font of Life into Aery and Gathering Storm.

That's actually what I used before, interestingly enough. It's noted under the runes section. I think it's a powerful style in its own right, but over time I found myself less impressed by Aery's shielding and didn't find as much value out of its shield procs to make it feel as worthwhile as I'd like.

I feel like seraph second with an early tear is a must. Ori as a champion can spam abilities extremely fast and, as your guide says, she's very mana hungry and as a support your job is mostly to stay behind buffing your team, I find myself constantly going oom in fights without it

To some extent, as you get more experience on Ori Sup, you waste fewer and fewer spells, meaning you become more efficient with your mana.

So what I've found is that while I struggled initially without tear, nowadays I have pretty much exactly just enough mana for every fight without tear.

I think tear is just okay, if excessive, but even if purchased, there's no need to upgrade it to Archangel until the very end, since Orianna Support doesn't make as much use out of the raw AP that much compared to just having utility items.

I just made my own account on MobaFire to write up a SuppOrtianna™ guide, and I stumbled upon this one! It's cool to see other people are finding success with SuppOrtianna. I first started playing her as support waaaaaay back when Windseeker's Blessing first came out. One day I said "hey, Windseeker's Blessing armor/mres + Orianna E armor/mres would be pretty strong" and it sure as hell was. Years later and SuppOrtianna still kickin butt. While our playstyle and intent with Orianna seems to be identical, our builds are completely different. If you're interested I will notify you once I finish writing it up. Maybe we can discuss some stuff and give each other feedback?

That's pretty cool! May want to wait for the new items first; on Wednesday all guides will be somewhat outdated so don't put too much effort atm

Yeah I realized that shortly after posting this comment. Sad to see Athene's go as that was a core of my build. But some of the new items looks pretty neat! Gonna have to do some testing.

I am not a fan of Orianna, but I will probably share this guide with some friends who play Orianna, I have checked few of your guides before and they are useful, so I am pretty sure that those who play her will find her useful... Thank you so much for the effort :>

I am a support main that LOVES Orianna's design, so I wanted to see if there was any way she could be a support champion. Seeing this guide made me so, so happy! It's so in-depth and very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make it!!

Your words are so kind; thank you so much! I honestly think out of all my off-meta builds, this is the one that has the highest potential for high-ranking success too. Very underlooked.
