Anyone got some Orianna vs. Azir Tips and Tricks?

I was playing my first ever competitive tournament today (average elo capped at p3 though, im not that great).

I could use some tips on this matchup though, I feel like Orianna is constantly on the backfoot in lane and she generally gets outscaled by Azir as well. Obviously that doesn't make Azir 100% better than ori because comps matter, but if I get forced into this matchup what would you some of you more experienced players recommend?

Lets say Azir has a decent frontline with like, sej + cho as well?

If I was playing Ori against him, I would sorely lose. But, shield should be a continued use, more so then normal since he can hit you from a range. I would personally shield get int enough to throw q and w and run out before you get hacked. That's all I got.

I mean, I'm only Gold, but I used to be an Orianna main, and I'll give some tips from my experience.

As Orianna against Azir, playing safe would be best. His harass in lane is terrible to deal with when you have little mobility. Using your Q to farm from a decent space between the minions would make it harder for Azir to get autos onto you.

Although I haven't tried it enough, putting points into your E early when you are against a losing matchup, like Azir would probably be very helpful. Pre-6 Azir is not as scary, so you should try to set up a camp around mid during that time.

If Azir had a beefy frontline and had good CC (Sej, Cho, Jax, etc.), you are mostly likely done of.
