Orianna is generally played as Mid. The first objective is to short trades q→aa (passive); clean recall after plate if possible. Its biggest edge comes from elite zone control and teamfights won on a single ulti.
Orianna takes over in mid game: roams mid→bot on r/flash timers; trap chokes with ball.
Orianna can be punished when dependent on flash and ball positioning. A practical answer listed here is: Punish his empty Qs: without a well-placed ball, his threat collapses in a matter of seconds.
