How to beat Orianna as Twisted Fate: the early game

Orianna edges level 1 with her Command: Attack ball poke and superior range, so respect the ball's position, don't walk into a free Q-into-W, and just farm safely until your shove comes online at 2. Track Orianna Command: Shockwave: matchup-defining — 110s at rank 1, 80s max, and only 410 range from the ball: track the ball like a second enemy. With Wild Cards plus Stacked Deck online you out-shove Orianna and set the wave; punish her when her ball is out of position, because retrieving it costs mana and tempo, and step up with a Red-card auto whenever her Command: Dissonance (E-shield or W-zone) is down.
