It depends how you play her. I personnaly love this passive because her AA become so strong once you get some AP that you actually get a really good sustained damage on a single-target with no mana cost. I always use AA extensively in my combo, and I'm pretty sure that 1/3 of my damages comes from AA. Moreover it makes your farming and laning capacity much more powerful, you have a good advantage during AA trade and your ball grants you free resistance if you have it during the trade.

All in all, this passive allow you to get much more damage than her kit allow you to deal. As stated before, it works like Lux's passive (even though it's sustained damage and not burst). You have to get in a shorter range to deal max damage. Difference is, Orianna has much more survivability than Lux. (Of course it depends the way you build her but I like to have an advantage of HP during the early/mid game and 2500 hp + GA late game).

To be honest, I think this passive just fit her kit really well since you have some CC abilities. You can destroy them with your AA while your maxed W slowed them by 40% and R pulled them back into your range. How many kill I had by a simple flash + last AA as well. It's just that good.
