How to Beat Orianna as Kassadin (Mid)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Kassadin deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Orianna deals primarily magic damage (92.62%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Orianna, ranking 9th (versus 12th for Kassadin) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.6 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Kassadin Mid versus Orianna Mid matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Kassadin player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Orianna player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Kassadin tips:

  • Kassadin has multiple item paths; he can go caster via Mana and Ability Power or anti-caster with Cooldown Reduction and Magic Resist.
  • Kassadin's ultimate has many uses and is on a shorter cooldown than most, use it often.
  • Try to get the Ancient Golem buff to counteract Riftwalk's increasing Mana cost.

Playing Against Orianna

  • Orianna can only affect the area the Ball is around. Use this to your advantage.
  • Watch out for Orianna's Ball returning to her due to leashing. This may cause some unexpected situations.
