Orianna vs Taliyah

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Orianna is a control mage with medium lane pressure who must use ball placement to control space and create teamfight opportunities.
Manage Taliyah's medium early agency by denying her safe poke and avoiding giving her room to push and roam.

Trading pattern

Use ball placement to zone and poke, then shield or speed yourself with W and E during return trades.
Punish Taliyah when she wastes W or E, stepping forward to trade while these are down.
Avoid trading after Taliyah lands W to shove you into E, as this sets up strong counterplay.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Taliyah's W and E are available as she can displace and zone you, punishing forward movement.
Avoid extended trades if Taliyah's E is up to prevent getting trapped in her slow zone.
Hard push and punish if Taliyah roams, as she loses lane presence during her absence.

Early game

Focus on controlling the wave and using Q to poke while avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Respect Taliyah's W and E cooldowns; avoid dashing or moving predictably through her E zone.
Use E shield to mitigate poke and sustain through early harassment.

Power spikes

Orianna's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed mage item for stronger teamfight impact and poke.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 R for map pressure and her first mage item for improved poke and wave control.

Win conditions

Control the lane with precise ball placement to deny Taliyah safe poke and force her to use cooldowns defensively.
Punish Taliyah's W and E cooldowns with short trades and pressure before level 6.
Reach level 6 and first item to leverage R and stronger poke for teamfight setup and lane dominance.

Tip: For Orianna vs Taliyah, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
