If you have a good lead, go item 3165 > item 3089 , if your laning phase is average > item 3285 is the way to go generally.

Max Q > W > R > E

Level Q level 1 if you are against a melee laner and Lvl E level 1 if you are against a range laner because you trading early can be surprising to the enemy laner and you have a shield to sustain their trading.

Orianna transitions through various roles throughout the entirety of the game, Support, sustained dmg, nuke mage, no particular order depending how the game goes.

Orianna's Passive Clockwork Winding is a great farming tool if you can attack a minion atleast twice(max passive stacks)

There's a annoying delay on her Ult that will take some getting used to, since you ae getting used to her try focusing on farming up for doing anything crazy.

summoner 6 (if you are decent at dodging) + summoner 4 is a potent combo, summoner 21 can be enter changed with ghost if you are against a champion that can get ontop of you quick like an assassin but 9/10 you would go summoner 3 against an assassin.

Against Talon, try to read what he's going to do. To truly master Orianna, you need to be able to predict where enemies will be so that you can get the Ball there to blast them. Additionally, be ready to trigger finger Alt+E to shield yourself when he tries to all in you. The ball also acts a very dangerous deterrent for melee attackers. They will actively try to stay away from wherever you place it - this will come in handy when he attempts to ult you.

first and for most take summoner 3 and dodge his Rake ability, he relies on it against ranged enemies like Orianna to build his stacks up, if you can keep his stacks down and him at a distance you will be fine, poke him with Q+W then Alt + E to bring Ball back to you and continue to farm, talon is very slippery so there isnt much of a reason to try and kill him early anyway, just play defensively.

Do not forget, you can just as easily disrupt enemies by having the ball on you an using R -> E for surprise damage and displacement. Hardly anyone expects an Orianna to use her spells when she's point blank.

Start E. Always. Command: Protect can help you survive and overzealous lane opponent (Hi, Katarina).

Max Q, then W, then E, then R. Trust me. You will thank yourself for the ability to move the ball super fast thanks to the reduced cooldown.

When things get hairy and you're about to ult, E it to yourself first. You may have left it behind, and the ball is not fast. The travel time from farthest ball range to the other side is massive, and it moves faster when you E. So E to you, Q to where you want it, then R. Also make sure to E it to yourself when chasing, it let's you send it forward very fast. A classic chasing combo is E to you, W, Q to them.

There is a one second delay before the shockwave part of Command: Shockwave. A fun party trick is to E to you, ult, then flash into them before the actual ult activates. It's hilarious.

The ball grants a wide area of vision, use it to check bushes. Also place it on your opponents minions and harass them each time they try to farm. The ball is angry.

If you have a diver like Zac or Sejuani, E to them, then R when they dive. It brings the entire enemy team together and deals massive damage. Isn't that fun?

Clockwork Windup does a lot of damage early game. Auto your lane opponent often to keep your stacks up.
