Orianna

Orianna is an AP mage in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 49.2% win rate, 3.8% pick rate, 43,993 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Orianna is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Orianna wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Orianna tips the fight, and sieging objectives and turrets with sustained pressure. The kit grades 10/10 teamfighting, 8/10 siege, 7/10 waveclear. Orianna grades low on roaming and split-push (3/10, 2/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.

The most-played core build is Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap, which holds a 53.5% win rate across 2,376 games this patch. Item order and defensive swaps update against whichever enemy comp you select.

The matchup to respect is Seraphine, where Orianna sits at just 37.1%, the lane swings the other way into Mel (57.2%), and on the team side, Orianna gains the most from a Darius (+9.9% pair win rate).
