Well Brand doesn't really work in competitive play because there are better picks than him.
Brand simply doesn't provide enough to the team. He has no special "Oh this stands out" point than others. His damage abilities are delayed besides his e and his damage is also not as optimal as a mid laner for a burst mage. Also, he's extremely squishy and has no escapes as well. If you build Rylai first on him to make him tanky he then loses a lot of damage output mid game.
Overall there are just better choices.

Orianna just bombs people with her ball.

orianna lacks the visceral 100-0 power that a lot of people seek.
honestly? Try lux.
Range, Skill shots, and surprising damage if you get it right.
In addition, utility.
Aggro veigar can work too. But tis hard.

Want a guide destroyed? reviewed?
Man, especially at your level, if you are good at brand just stick to him. He isn't as good in competitive play but anything is good in soloq, so if you enjoy and like him play him. He's still a pretty good champ, and it's not like you are going to play at a competitive level (yet) :P
