AP Trist will be power pushing God

I'm getting straight wrecked as mid-lane orianna and I don't know why. Maybe I should just stick to support where i'm stronk.

Also, i'm gonna guess that the doc for summoner names in NA is a bit outdated, who all plays in NA that's active right now?

[frostshotgg]

You're probably getting wrecked because you don't know how to play her. May sound pointlessly harsh, but it's probably the truth. Ori was hailed as garbage tier for a long time after her release, until one day she suddenly became god tier and has been a strong pick ever since despite a steady stream of nerfs. Nobody knew how to play her, because she is so ridiculously difficult for how easy she appears.

The important thing to do is keep track of your ball at all times, know exactly where it is and how long it will take to get to a given point both with Q and with E, they have different speeds. The ball has a zone all of it's own and its important that you know how big it is. For laning, this means realizing that most of your threat zone is not centered around your champ, it's around the ball. If you understand how zoning works, you should be able to pick up the pieces from there and improve. If you don't know how zoning works, Ori is not the champ to learn on.

Well the first step to improving is figuring out what you're doing wrong . How specifically are you getting wrecked? Is it a specific champion beating you, or are you having trouble landing your abilities? Trouble killing creeps? Need some more specifics to give ya advice.

Riot has repeatedly called her E passive clunky and outdated. Why didn't it get changed?

Fits her theme of making things explode, I guess? The AS per level nerf is really going to gut her though. It's almost cut in half.

Speaking of midlane champs, I wonder if anyone here plays Viktor? I do, and I always get wrecked by Syndra. Other champs that give Viktor a hard time include Leblanc, Fizz, Akali and Zed, but the latter 3 are always banned and LB is actually manageable if I stay passive and don't die before E augment.

[Yodamaster]

Haven't really played him post-rework, but I know pre-rework he was pretty solid if you maxed E and just poked people down. I imagine it's the same now, vs. those long ranged poke champs like Syndra (who just got nerfed ) you probably wanna use your E to stay safe since it's hard to dodge her E - Q combo on a low mobility champ. You can be a little more aggressive vs. the melee assassins, using your Q and such to poke, but still be out of their range most of the time, W to keep them off you if they go in.

If his shield would be granted to you instantly on the spell hitting, I don't doubt he'd see far more play, but as it is, I don't enjoy the feel of his kit as much as others, i.e. Vel'koz does a way more awesome laser, karthus is the better sustain-poker, kassadin does better silence/counterplays and so on. Rarly see him eitherway.

My go-to non-meta Midlaner is Veigar. My god that stun is bullshit.

My opinion is that Viktor excels in his surprising damage from E augment laser and his ability to push waves into turrets as well as, say, Morgana. He has a hard time against Syndra precisely because she pushes really well PLUS murders Viktor with a single combo :/

What server are you on?

Absolutly and a good veigar can even control a assassin-mid (fizz/zed) - since besides your massive best-stun-in-the-game-aoe you have the damage to just delete people at will. You can't do anything else, but hey who needs to.

I got minuteman GP. Not exactly what i was hoping for, but a free skin is a free skin :p

if you're asking me, Skairunner on NA.

Veigar can be fun. His stun is unfun for his enemies. Unlimited[Well, until you hit integer overflow, that is] AP gain is fun, if often impractical. I was one-hitting people with my W alone the one game that stretched ~120 minutes.

RE: Ori problems:

She got hit hard by the Athene's nerf. She relied on that mana regen[Well, at least **I** did.]. Morellonomicon was a decent stopgap, but since 5.1 its not much better. Plus she's widely considered one of the most difficult champions because of how gimmicky the ball is. Personally, I find that she has enough utility[Slow, speed boost, shield and a good teamfight ult] that if you stick with your team and roam you can get fed from assists if you didn't do well in lane.

RE: Viktor:

Viktor is also coolkid, although I haven't played him post-rework.

RE: Server:

See my sig. I'm Arcvasti on NA server. If it matters.
