How to beat Orianna as Yone: the early game

You win levels 1-2 because Orianna is a short-range poke mage who must manage her ball position while you simply walk up and Q her. If her ball is out on the wave she has no self-peel, so every misplaced ball is a free trade for you. Track Command: Shockwave: 110/95/80 — it launches you toward the ball, so the ball's position is the threat, not her body.
