[Champion Discussion] Orianna: Q or E Start?

Hey Everyone,

Wanted to start a discussion about Orianna, namely whether to start Q or E. I know you don't want to level a skill first before you need it, but all things equal (no level 1 shenanigans), you will usually start Q or E. Wanted to get y'alls feedback on this; I will outline what I see to be the reasoning behind each decision.

#Q Start: The traditional start for Orianna, it allows her to create that zone pressure level 1 that is so characteristic of Orianna. Q is also the skill you max first, under most circumstances, so it makes sense to start Q (get a head start on maxing it). There is also the thought that you don't need your other spells first, W has very, very limited use without Q, and you typically have pots to sustain early so the shield and extra resistances aren't vital.

#E Start: This is the one I'm more interested in. E start gives you a shield and resistances, which allows you to play more aggressive in lane level 1; you can zone your opponent off minions early when you have little pressure of a gank (since the jungler usually doesn't gank till level 3 at the earliest). Your autos do a ton of damage (2 autos are probably equal to or greater than a level 1 Q, provided you don't hit anything else with your Q), and you can safely trade damage because you have that shield, resistances, and pots in case you get behind. The problem is your only ranged capacity comes from autos, where Orianna has pretty average auto attack range.

I personally feel like E start is better in most cases, especially against champions with lower or equal range; vs long range mages it's sort of mixed, you can still start E to mitigate level 1 harass, but Q start helps you zone and trade better, which might be more worthwhile. What do you guys think?
