What are some tips for the Hwei vs. Orianna matchup?

You both have very similar ranges, with you having the edge. However, Orianna will outrange you significantly if you just fistfight, stand still, and throw everything at each other. So you are kind of required to play at the edge of your EE or QQ range, so you can get some short trades off without eating her QW. You need to avoid getting pushed in and having to play under your tower against Orianna. Its very easy for her to maneuver her ball around very quickly and often to hit you while you have to farm. You should push slightly faster than her with WE QE EE compared to her QW Q. Her gank setup is limited to post six with her ultimate, but is hard to avoid without flash especially when paired with a J4 or Nocturne.
