Tips for Playing as Orianna with Zed
Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.
Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.
Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.

Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.

Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.
Orianna Zed Synergy Stats
How to Play with Zed as Orianna in LoL
The Orianna Zed synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zed, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Orianna sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zed. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Zed helps Orianna perform not as well in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Orianna is an ally to Zed, she observes a barely noticable drop in her full damage dealt. This change could signal that Zed does not help protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Orianna is played together with Zed on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Zed.
Moreover, when Orianna plays with Zed on the same team, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Zed does a poor job of protecting Orianna during teamfights.

Is Orianna better when played alongside Zed?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Orianna that will 100% of the time be her ideal ally. However, Zed is a relatively poor companion for Orianna. By being on the same side as Orianna, he drops their win rate by -1.2% to 46.3%. This shows that there is a negative synergy between Orianna and Zed that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Zed has a lower difficulty than Orianna. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Zed allies to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to work well with you.
Working alongside, Orianna players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by bringing Orianna and Zed together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates a great deal of tankyness. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this hole in their potential.
Regardless of your Zed ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
