^ Ricardo The 40% CDR is really important mid-late, but it's not necessary. I run at least 15% CDR from Runes and Masteries alone, which is nice. Also, consider a Tear of the Goddess into your build as soon as you can afford it. Orianna's spells are spammable and don't need a target, so you can charge your Tear whenever you want. With the reasonably low Mana cost for Attack, she's maxes Tear very early, leading to an almost inexhaustable supply of mana.

Doran Ring or Meki, Tear [asap, 995/605g], Sorc Boots, Rabadon, ->Archangel From there, build according to what's needed [ie Lich Bane, Abyssal Sceptor, Rylai's, Zhonya's] and play smart.

I also find it hard to believe that people are against playing her support. Yeah, she's more offensive than a support [just like Lux], but you can still operate her like a combat support and do wonders for your team. I love those five assists in every teamfight.... Protect Carry, Attack, Dissonance, Attack, Protect, Attack, Shockwave, Dissonance, Attack, Protect, Attack... kiting like a boss.
