Orianna is not easy. Playing her is mechanically hard no matter what you say, since positioning is one of the hardest skills to master in LoL and she lives or dies depending on good positioning. Her ball mechanics are also unique to her and matter much more than you might think at first.

She is picked in worlds because she scales like few other mages, is awesome at teamfights and even if she falls behind she can use her utility to peel and her ult to swing teamfights on her teams favor.

Plus you should never use pro players as a metric of how hard a champion is to play. Those guys are obviously good at what they play and don't pick things they are bad at at big tournaments. Even if you watch any professional top laner playing Rumble like the champion was as easy as Garen that won't make Rumble any easier to play.

Also, you don't really sound like you speak from experience. You just ramble about how little skill the champion seems to require and then put asian midlaners that got to worlds as an example... If the Ori is good, then yeah, she is gonna stomp. That is how any strong champion works against most players when both are of equal skill. A bad Ori, however, is pretty much an easy kill if you can identify any mistakes she makes. It's not like we are talking pre-nerf Ziggs with Athenes level of safety and impact. You have to have a brain to shield and ult, plus position yourself and your ball well enough in teamfights.
