It sounds like you want to make super powerful plays. Like that one Orianna player I guess.

Thing is. You can SORT OF do that with Orianna. But she doesn't really run a hostile lane really. In mid lane she just zones. You farm with auto attacks and you keep the enemy at bay by poking them with the Q. You really need to take note of how the ball works. The ball has it's own movement speed and giving it commands restricts it by an internal cooldown to prevent actual instant movement and reaction times. It also has it's own range which is managed by you being in range of it and the place you want to send it too.

It's also very expensive. Every action usually requires you to spend 50 mana to get the ball in place so using Q and other spell and then Q again or E will run you out of mana quick.

Ryze's range is 600 for all his attack spells. You actually outrange him at all times. But he does get much tankier than you and if you let him get past whatever area your ball is zoning and get to you he could burst you down easy.

Basically you need to practice managing the ball more. What sort of runes do you have for mages? If you don't have magic pen runes you should invest in some. I would even suggest blade weaver and spell weaver. Orianna's auto attacks scale with AP and stack to a certain percent this is something that can be exploited.
