I can see the arguments for Ori-support but I really don't think its playing her to her potential. Other players have explained this better than I have but I'll do my best. Her kit is certainly diverse with lots of supporty abilities so its tempting but I feel its a waste to play her this way. With Zyra her abilities are not really hindered in combat by the support role due to the nature of her kit and as pointed out a lvl6 support Zyra can offer you more than a lvl6 support Ori. Orianna is burst damage combined with utility. To play her as support you are missing out on her powerful burst. Play her support if you really want to but I don't think you should make it a serious support role. Janna is better if you're looking for what Orianna has; knock up, knock back, shield and slow with an added heal, but she is designed around the disruption role while Orianna is based around high damage combined with disruption and one without the other on her makes me sad. True Zyra also has high damage potential but her range of options as a support are higher than Orianna making the exchange of damage for support less painful.
