Although Ori needs loads of mana to function well against melee assassins it's often a good idea to rush armbrace instead before chalice. As Ori going for haunting guise into liandrys is imo only a good option if you are playing against super tanky team with comp that is designed around poking and harassing, otherwise you're better off going for early Athene's and after that straight into Rabbadons and depending on how early they start stacking mr to Void Staff or Zhonyas... When laning mid against any champ your goal as Ori is to slowly poke away their health with your Q, using W only occasionally since you want to have it available as an utility spell and spamming it will have you go oom before you know it and eventually going all with QRWQE+Ignite for the kill if he decides to stay in lane for too long. Early game though I'd go as far as to say that you're best off trying to focus on farming as long as your jungler doesn't come in for ganks... Lastly none of Ori's skills interrupt her aa animation or moving, which is extremely powerful, use this to your advantage while kiting or poking, since you can haras with your ball and aa minions at the same time.
