I'm playing her for these W jumpscares

It's this awful game where your team just doesn't want to get carried(except Karma)and I'm killing everyone alongside Karma who never died in a 40minute game somehow. I kept vouching for them to group with us and just win the fkin game but they kept dying on unsynced death timers so that didn't occur at random until they had this miraculous breakthrough at 35th min mark where this play somehow went through. P.S. minus points for not hitting Q2 on Annie and minus points for not last hitting the penta and letting this jarvan yoink me to improve his kda = 9.8/10 - op.gg

Graves almost felt that nerf

despite what u.gg and op.gg shows I think dropping him from S/S+ tier to D tier or tier 3 is a bit of dry misleading statistics. Despite his Q damage essentially losing 20 % less ad scaling I think it isn't meaningful enough to bring him down. You would still be double tapping people regardless later in the game. I think what this nerf would affect is his early game clear speed and he would be a tiny bit weaker in some of his close matchups but also it would clear the weak hands and his win rate will start climbing again slowly from patch to patch, evading any actually significant nerfs or changes. I think many people didn't realize for how long he's been secret op soloq champion like I've been tracking his win rate/pick rate/ban rate from 10 patches or something and was wondering how he always evaded the nerf hammer flying well under the radar. But anyway that's my opinion what do you guys think?

Passive is able to crit

I've seen a good amount of times where I'm able to crit with her passive despite what it says. Considering that you don't build crit items on Ambessa and when you do it's usually 1 item + this bug occurs at random , I can see why that bug is not getting fixed or dodges the radar as of now. Tbh they should change it to crit at this point but balance it in some way. What do you think?

Is it impossible to improve Orianna's state in the game?

I feel like they did her dirty with the last nerfs because of MSI.Riot didn't revert some of the changes and there were no compensation buffs afterwards either.I get that she's a professional play champion but many other champs are as well.She isn't a problematic champion like Azir or Mel yet because of her reliability and consistency she's top priority in pro play so they kinda wanted shake things up but it didn't affect her pro presence at all and also ruined her for soloqueue. Before that she was meh for the average player and an okay pick in the hands of a good Orianna player but nothing crazy or even decent.I think they can keep the previous nerfs but should compensation buff her base stats or something.

Boots of Swiftness?

Aren't boots of swiftness good in some games? You get the extra travel time to appear out of W stealth without being seen you cast it + the mid quest t3 upgrade isn't that bad. Seems to fit her playstyle to me as you can chase down targets easily and kite better but certainly isn't the choice for every game especially if the enemy itemizes MR early and in the games where it is good you can always swap them for sorcerers in the late game if you want.
