orianna is a farm based champion. she's my main mid so maybe i can help you a bit.
Something really important to note is that her ball passively gives armor and MR, even when it isn't shielding with E. So if you're playing a tough matchup, try to keep the ball on yourself as often as possible to reduce their harass damage. That also reduces the travel time in case you need to use shield in an emergency.
1 point in E first as orianna and use your auto attacks to farm and harass. Proceed to max Q and leave 1 point in W/E. Max W second. When laning, use your W only if absolutely necessary. You aren't putting points into it so it really doesn't hit that hard. It's much better to rely on your Q and autos for harass and farming when possible, especially since the mana cost stays at 50 for all ranks.
If someone tries to fight you, don't be afraid to auto them back. Your damage builds for up to 3 autos at which point it peaks. Most champions will not win an auto war with Orianna, especially if you get off a quick QW and shield yourself immediately after. Your natural resistances, shield, and empowered autos will win you those fights easily. Obviously keep minion wave advantages in mind when you're doing this though. You'll definitely lose if you have a bunch of minions attacking you!
First off saying "pls no bully" will get you bullied lol, no one really cares about your post count in this section of the forums.
Second, Its hard to beat Heimer as anyone as he can easily push and stay safe, with him you just need to let him push you to your tower, and cs under tower and wait for Jungle ganks. As for Talon I cant really say because Talon is like zed, regardless if hes behind or do bad in lane he can still get cheese assassination kills, the best advice i can say is keep a pink on you and when he ults throw it down so you can see him and try to dodge or kill him then.
orianna mid or i feed pls no bully
damn i am going to try it in lobby when im at home
I recommend seeing if you can find replays of the match ups you struggle with at high elo where Ori does well.
With heimer there is no "special" tactic other than going chalice and maxing W for waveclear. You can't really outpush him best strategy is to harass him to the point he will be gankable and shield ult your jungler on heimers head. Just don't bait your jungler into full hp heim with all summoners/3 turrets and ultimates up because its very, very painfull.
With Talon you have way more options. Lets assume he is pretty good talon with MR runes that started with Flask 3 for easy early lvls. Firstly try to aa him every time he melle a creep and try not to get hit by his Rake. If you blow your flash from early gank and you want to be on safe side, buy 2nd doran ring into gauntlet. Depending on your runes (hp/lvl or flat def both are fine) you cannot be bursted with your shield on.
I love to play with m regen runes with ori and maxing W for safe harras and good waveclear but it is a matter of preference. Just don't max your shield and you will be fine.
Don't use your ult unless you are 100% sure Talon will die or you will force him out of the lane. Talon needs every little cs he can grab early game or his mid game roams will be too weak to actually change anything.
Don't stay in lane if enemy talon has his ult and ignite up while you are at half hp. If you want to be extra safe put 1 extra point into your E.
If you want talon too push lane stay behind your minions and shield his rake. If you want to zone him, stay beside of your minion wave (would be nice to have a ward on this side) and put Q+W every time he comes near a minion wave. Try not to AOE minons if possible.
Of course shield ult+W yourself every time he E you and don't forget to aa him as much as possible.
There is also this spell that makes every assassin cry, its called exhaust. Pick it up and be useful in any stage of the game.
Thanks for the tips guys. anything else you would like too add that pertains to orianna?
