Her passive makes no sense to me. Orianna hardly basic attacks, and can't really fit them well into her combo, since her abilities do not originate from her, but from her ball. As a counterpoint to OriannaL: Lux's passive makes more sense than this, because Lux has skill shots that originate from her. Orianna doesn't even need it to make up for a deficiency in her farming, she is fairly good at it. Frankly, I think Riot should scrap it and move a bit of the AP ratio from that to her other abilities (and up her AD, of course).

Sure, it might be useful, but it's not an elegant kit with such a glaring oddity in a playstyle focused on manipulating a "pet" that does all your attacking for you. What would create more synergy with her overall play would be a passive that buffs her movement speed when running towards her ball (but not with the ball attached) or some other similar innate that includes her ball.
