And people will claim she is bad and those of use who realize her full potential shall rejoice as we are not looked at as a serious threat and proceed to kill everyone.

Dumb because it actually takes skill to play? :scared:
I feel like this champ will be very hard to play but immensely annoying if it is played well. I foresee it taking more than the first week or two for this champion's full potential to be realized (even if she turns out to be less useful than average)

I think I play her well, and have had compliments on the other team for 'finally seeing a good Orianna'. From how I play her, she is very squishy and has little potential, but CAN turn a team fight fully around, if her ult is done fight. For example, my teammates (White tiger, me, and other eGO people) were caught off guard by Alistar and Galio *Galio ulted*, and the major dps were fighting behind them. All it took was Orianna's ult to switch the tanks in the back and the squishy in front, which won us the game.
She's only useful for a few things, but those few things can turn the tide.
Still, I think she's one of the hardest champions to play, if not the hardest.

It looks like champion flash abilities and probably flash remove the ball so it may be tough for her to use the ball to help initiate without being too close to the aoe spells. Ult cc seems quite nice and I can see people getting pulled over walls to pick someone off or remove them from a fight.

Dumb as in it physically looks idiotic and the person who designed her needs to get fired and stop playing Portal 2.

It's also from another steam game. Something called 'the ball' or something like that.

Played vs her in a 3v3 and shes ok. The ball can do a lot of damage but it definitely takes a lot of skill to do well. No escapes either so shes an easy mark for ganks in 5v5.

No, Dumb because most of them are just feeding the other team. ^^

True that. Not to mention, against an eve, all it takes is her to pop out of her stealth, use her e, and hit Orianna a couple of times. Easy way to get fed. She's way too squishy with not so much damage.

her skill set lets her save many champions. shes one huge utility bot.
she doesn't do CRAZY damage but her unique utility can be game changing.
she has such a high skill cap, that I don't think she'll become super popular. Like Cassiopeia, very strong, but hard to use

Sigh... "Damage Output and Squishy" Really?
Soraka and Janna don't do damage like other casters and are squishy, but do you see them being called UP? No. Please don't use that as an excuse to say champions are bad or useless. This has been one of the few support champions that have been released.
And as for eve, why are you pushed or over extended when eve is MIA? Eve gets fed on the mistakes you make. Not because someone is too squishy.

My decision is made, one of my favorite champs ever. Support champs are way to much fun. But nothing is more frustrating going for your ult and then you realize the ball leashed back to you

She's not useless, I will admit to that, yet when an eve can tower dive me with full hp at level 9, kill me, and walk off, I think she IS too squishy. These aren't mistakes I make. I play the game with careful thinking and always keeping multiple options. Soraka has 2 heals, a silence, and is able to survive a lot more than Orianna. Janna herself is faster, has a slow, a knockup, and a shield. Orianna has a shield if she puts it on herself, which last for very little, and a slow/speed up for 2 seconds, which matters little for people who can dash like xin or akali, or someone who runs fast like eve.
Orianna can deal some damage, and is useful for a team fight, yet I'd rather go with Soraka or Janna any day over Orianna simply because I believe they are better than Orianna. Yet, I'll still play Orianna every now and then because she is a pretty fun champ.
Her stats are decent when you have the ball on you, but when you're using it to support or fight with.. little armor and magic resist.
*Waiting for more people to argue with*
