Tips for Playing as Swain with Orianna
While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.
Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.
If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.
Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.
Advice to Understand How Orianna Will Play
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.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Orianna.

There is no one best ally for Swain that will always be his ideal synergy. However, Orianna is a terrible ally for Swain.

This shows that there is a terrible strategic relationship between Swain and Orianna that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Orianna has a lower difficulty than Swain. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Orianna allies to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Working alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Together, these champions are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Although, by pairing Swain and Orianna together, you will not be providing your team a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their potential.
Regardless of the skill of your Orianna teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
