If you have a good lead, go 
> 
, if your laning phase is average > 
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.
(if you are decent at dodging) +
is a potent combo, 
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 
against an assassin.
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.
I dont know her that good, But do the sombrero thing, its funny.
