does what better? the only thing that litecoin does Differently is having faster blocks which is leading to a much higher orphan rates

The orphaned block rate in LTC is actually low. And unless a person is a miner who happens to find one why would anyone care?

Here is a chart showing the average rate below 1 a day (an insignificant amount):

You can compare it to bitcoins chart here:

I've never understood orphan rate concern (and I'm a miner who has found orphans). It's four times faster and as such one expects more orphans. The number of orphans is insignificant. Relative to the hugh advantage of 8 times the transactions per second of BTC, not to mention how convenient faster blocks are this is a non-issue.
