Surrender at 20: A New Champion Approaches: Orianna, the Clockwork Girl

Well, we finally get to see Orianna's abilities and boy to they look fun. I've always wanted to see more minion based champions and while Orianna isn't, she defiantly has a unique feeling to her. I'm still lingering on what role she'll fit in to, she seems to fill a similar role that Morgana fills. Her combat role is going to be based on manipulating her pet ball and positioning it as all of her abilities emanate from the ball. In addition to positioning it, you also have the option of attaching it to an ally. I for see much fun to be had attaching the ball to a Malphite, he charges in, then you drop your slow field ( W ) and knock up ( R ) for some devastating combo CC.

So what do you guys think? Is she something you are willing to shill out your hard earned IP for? Or is she a little rusty for your tastes?

Lore:

There once was a Piltovian man named Corin Reveck who had a daughter named Orianna, whom he loved more than anything else in the world. Though Orianna had incredible talent for dancing, she was deeply fascinated by the champions of the League of Legends. This fascination compelled her to begin training to become such a champion. It is unfortunate that her sheltered, wide-eyed naivete led her to take unnecessary and dangerous chances which ultimately led to her tragic demise. Orianna's death shattered Corin, driving him into deep depression and an obsession with techmaturgy. He could not stand the void his daughter's death left in his life, so he decided to build a replacement – one that would complete Orianna's dream of joining the League. What was created is the clockwork killing machine that Corin named after his daughter. Knowing that she was destined to be a champion and seeing the way the times were changing, he created The Ball as her pet and protector. This nearly symbiotic creation uses a different type of techmaturgy, relying more heavily on electricity than clockwork.

Orianna and The Ball now fight as Champions in the League of Legends, using the Clockwork Girl's sometimes misguided morality as a compass. She tries in earnest to fit in with those around her. However, no matter how hard she tries, Orianna can never be human and there is always something unnerving and alien about her. Though she attempts social interaction with other champions in the League of Legends, there are few who can get past her exotic nature. To many, it's as if there's nothing inside, that Orianna is just a soulless clockwork shell – a dangerous and deadly one at that. However, all along she remains the perfect daughter in her father's eyes.

“Dance with me, my pet. Dance with me into oblivion.”
