Orianna Counters
Champions that beat Orianna
- Akalimid
Orianna has no dash and Command: Shockwave (R) needs her ball planted in melee range. Shuriken Flip (E1+E2) closes the gap onto her face, Twilight Shroud (W) eats the Command: Attack (Q) follow-up, and R1 plus R2 execute her before Command: Protect shield arrives.
- Fiddlesticksjungle
Crowstorm (R) blinks past Orianna's zone control before she can land Command Shockwave (R). If Fiddlesticks appears from fog, she has no exit tool, and Reap (E) silence interrupts Command Attack (Q) ball setup mid-cast.
- Heimerdingermid
H-28 G Evolution Turret (Q) nest baits Command Attack (Q) casts, while Hextech Micro-Rockets (W) chips her. Her ball-handler stance forces her into the rocket spread before Command Shockwave (R) lands; Command Dissonance (W) zone is wasted on stationary turrets.
- Naafirimid
Orianna has no fast escape against Naafiri's Hounds' Pursuit (R) target dash. Command: Shockwave (R) ball-position windup is too slow once Naafiri lands and Darkin Daggers (Q) plus auto-attacks finish her before Command: Protect (E) shield rotates.
- Neekomid
Tangle-Barbs (E) sets up Pop Blossom (R) 1.25s stun before Orianna can Command: Shockwave (R); she lacks a dash to escape Neeko level-6 all-in once E lands from minion range. Command: Protect (E) shield breaks under Blooming Burst (Q) double-bloom AOE.
- Samirabot
Samira's Blade Whirl destroys every Command: Attack missile that crosses it, neutralising Orianna's poke for the duration. Wild Rush dashes through Command: Attack range, and Inferno Trigger shreds Orianna point-blank during her R windup.
- Yasuomid
Yasuo's Wind Wall blocks every Command: Attack projectile and the Ball travel itself when she sends it as a missile, neutralizing both her poke and her Command: Shockwave setup.
- Yonemid
Yone's Spirit Cleave shields him through Command: Attack poke and Soul Unbound crosses Orianna's range with a free return to his body. Mortal Steel's tornado knocks Orianna out of her R windup, and Fate Sealed pulls her out of position from 1000 range.
- Zedmid
Zed's Living Shadow W swap closes the gap dodging Command Attack Q poke. Once in melee Orianna has no escape from Shadow Slash E slow into Razor Shuriken Q, and Death Mark R deletes her before she can cast the long Command Shockwave R animation.
Champions Orianna beats
- Amumujungle
Amumu's Curse of the Sad Mummy is a multi-target stun that clusters enemies in melee around him — Command: Shockwave parked on his team during the stun guarantees three or more pulls.
- Cassiopeiamid
Command Dissonance (W) speed-zone kites Twin Fang (E) range, and Command Shockwave (R) teamfight engage out-positions her no-dash kit. Command Attack (Q) ball harassment outranges Noxious Blast (Q) cast in lane.
- Karthusjungle
Karthus has zero dash and zero blink, so Command: Dissonance slow plus passive ramping autos walk him down. Lay Waste reaches 875 against Command: Attack's 815, but it is a delayed blast Orianna can step out of, and Command: Shockwave pulls him off his Defile aura.
- Malphitetop
Malphite's Unstoppable Force is a long-range dash that clusters enemies inside the knock-up landing zone — Command: Shockwave parked there catches three or more enemies for a wombo follow-up. Granite Shield armor cannot block Command: Attack's magic damage poke from 815 range.
- Rellsupport
Rell's Ferromancy: Crash Down knocks up everyone around her landing spot, and Magnet Storm drags nearby enemies onto her — both setups overlap with Orianna's Command: Shockwave wombo zone.
- Siontop
Sion telegraphs his Decimating Smash channel from a long windup, giving Orianna time to park the Ball on his team's stacking spot. Command: Shockwave pulls all his teammates clumped behind Sion's engage.
