Max W-- Place your ball in walls--- Start E lvl 1 for better trades--- Save your W until after your Ult-- Double Dorans last chapter means you won't oom
try orianna mains on reddit for a lot of help
Um........spam your taunt.
No matter what the say, max Q, it actually does a lot of damage and you'll need it for repositioning your ball
all you have to do is farm well and poke your enemy with Q W combo, when you want to all in, make sure they're below 50%, Q your ball to them, Ult, W, and they should die
for teamfights, Oriannas main job is to land her ult, the more people you can ult at once, the better, if you're playing Orianna, a 5 man ult will completely change the outcome of the fight, especially if you have a Jinx, Malphite, or Yasuo who can ult shortly after since the enemy team will be grouped up after taking heavy damage from your ult
another really cool trick is using your ult to escape ganks, if you're getting ganked and are now stunned or rooted, place your ball slightly behind the jungler and laner, this way, when you ult, it'll pull them away from you and stun them for a short period of time, this ones a bit more tricky but it feels, and looks super cool once you've mastered it
Alright--- let me clarify I guess. Max your Q if you have no clue how to position your ball so you can fix your mistakes. However, Max your W if you know how to position your ball because it does more damage.
Max Q, start E, use your auto attacks. You can easily trade early with your passive. If they dont have high sustained damage early, then bully the shit out of them. Walk up, q aa, aa, back off, once you're lvl 3 walk up, q,w,aa,aa... and so on. A lot of bad Oriannas just don't use their aa enough. It does alot of damage. Use Flash/Ghost, makes it easier to chase and spam your AA. Practice your sombrero, Which is when your have the ball on yourself, use your ult and flash onto them. They never see it coming.
Let me get this outta the way: I prefer to max Q first. While maxing W does give you extra damage, it is very costly, especially in early game. Maxing Q will allow you to move the ball faster and at a reasonable mana cost.
As for other advice, I would go rush to build 
as soon as possible. My favorite way to play Ori is to max out the CDR to 45% in order to kite and use Q quickly. Ignite is still a good summoner spell, but recently I've been thinking that Ghost might be better for her since she has barely has no escape. It's also good for chasing down enemies. Ulting while attaching the ball to a tanky ally is almost always a good idea (i.e. E onto ally amumu and ult when both parties are ready) though it does require good timing and effective communication.
- I wouldnt call myself an Orianna main, but I have played a decent amount of games on her. -
dont feed :^)
