Orianna has been temporarily removed from the Worlds 2022 Championship after a visual bug involving her ultimate was discovered during a recent match between Rogue and Gam Esports.
The bug in question was discovered and pointed out by a League of Legends YouTuber, Vandril, who is well-known in the community for discovering bugs within the game.
In his tweet, Vandril said the bug occurred when Orianna's ultimate’s visual effect showed up on her character model instead of her orb.
In RGE vs GAM game there was an Orianna ult bug. Her Ult appears to be on top of her, but she actually hits Viktor, that is away from her.

I wonder if it qualified for chronobreak (it should, unless worlds buglist [that teams get] specifically says otherwise). pic.twitter.com/9KDX3fqRfd
About two hours after Vandril’s tweet, LoL Esports tweeted that Orianna had been disabled for Worlds 2022 until further notice due to the aforementioned bug.

On the League of Legends’ official website, the hotfix to resolve Orianna’s ultimate bug was included as a mid-patch update.
With this hotfix, we could perhaps see Orianna being picked again for upcoming matches as she was only picked once at Worlds 2022 before her ultimate bug was discovered.
On a related development, Vandril also tweeted a bug affecting Gnar’s Q, which caused his boomerang to be redirected after it was thrown.
In DRX vs TES game Gnar uses his Q, but thanks to the boomerang Bug it gets redirected to a completely wrong place and hits Jax. This Bug allowed DRX to eventually kill Jax and secure First Blood.

This bug also happened in LEC in April 2021. pic.twitter.com/ndeLHHZbch
However, the official LoL Esports Twitter account has not issued a statement about whether Gnar would also be disabled.
