Orianna is considered a very good utility mage because she provides a shield with bonus resistances. Her W is very good for chasing and so you can run away. Her Q gives constant vision that the enemy team can't do anything to, unless of course they kill her. Plus her ulti is very good CC.

And Orianna scales well late game because she supports her team all throughout teamfights. Plus her ratios are not high because of her Q and passive make her a more sustained damage ap carry than someone burst.
