She kinda works best as an AP carry. Her damage is really, really strong and she has the same utility as when she's support(ish). Unfortunately it's also very difficult for her to assume enough AP to carry, she needs A LOT of AP to function well unlike other AP carries like Brand and Cassiopeia that hit pretty hard even without a ton of AP. I'm not complaining because what Orianna lacks in snowball effect makes up for brutal endgame damage thanks to her 4 AoE spells and auto attacks scaling off AP.
