How to beat Yasuo as Orianna: the early game

Level 1 is yours - your ball out-ranges his 475-range Steel Tempest and he has no Wind Wall yet, so take the free harass. Land Q-W before he stacks a tornado, and from level 2 aim the ball around the wall instead of into it. Track Wind Wall (W): 25s at rank 1, 17s at rank 5, and 4 seconds of blocking — it eats your Q, so poke around it or wait it out.
