ORIANNA BUILD

Abnormal choice of summoner spells. Popular choices are ignite, TP, exhaust,
cleanse, and heal. You may mention these later in your guide, but having such a
contrarian SS be the one on your cheat sheet is undesirable

I think zhonyas is very situational

for orianna. A lot of the time,
instances where players need
zhonyas could instead be mitigated
with good positioning.

Pushing

Depending on the jungler, it is

desirable to ward a side lane
brush, a side lane brush + flank
(e.g. side lane brush + red buff
brush). Give a couple examples of
when a side lane brush is 'good
enough' for warding (e.g. Fiddle/
WW pre-6, Shyvana pre-6)
Also talk about warding later on in
the game - both when ahead and
behind (unless you're changing
