Orianna vs Zoe

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Orianna is a control mage with medium lane pressure who needs to manage ball position to control Zoe's threat zone.
Focus on denying Zoe's poke angles and avoid giving her passive scaling by maintaining lane control.

Trading pattern

Use Q and W to poke and zone, then shield or speed yourself with E to survive Zoe's burst attempts.
Punish Zoe when Zoe E is on cooldown or missed to safely trade and pressure.
Avoid reckless trades when your Q is on cooldown to prevent being burst down by Zoe's combos.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Zoe's Zoe E is available as it sets up her burst and sleep CC.
Respect Zoe's level 6 R for extended poke and dodge potential.
Avoid trading when your Q is on cooldown or before you have enough mana and AP to shield and retaliate.

Early game

Play cautiously early as Zoe has high early agency and poke with Zoe E and Zoe Q.
Use ball placement to zone Zoe and shield with E to mitigate poke damage.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when Zoe's burst and mobility are strongest.

Power spikes

Orianna's major spikes are level 6 with R and first completed mage item.
Respect Zoe's level 6 spike with Zoe R for extended poke angles and burst potential.
Both champions gain significant power at their first major AP item, increasing burst and poke damage.

Win conditions

Control the lane with precise ball placement to limit Zoe's poke angles and create safe trading windows.
Punish Zoe's missed Zoe E to force her back and gain lane priority.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to leverage R for teamfight impact and stronger trades.

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