Oriana? Full AP Carry or Support?

[quote=Embracing]Orianna definitely should go pure AP. She's like Zilean. Champions who CAN support, but are better off played as AP carries. An example of a build would be : 1) boots, 3 hp pots 2) dorans ring x2/3 / catalyst; depending on lane 3) sorc boots 4) deathcap 5) void staff 6) banshee / roa / rylai Something like that[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Orianna's ability to support is heavily reliant on the amount of AP she has... It's like trying to play Support Karma...sure Karma can support decently enough, but she needs farm and AP to do it.[/quote]

[quote=Goregasm]Orianna doesn't fall off late game in terms of damage. She gets better because all her abilities are AoE and late game is all about the teamfights. Just build her like any other mana-using caster. They're all the same, generally, give or take the occasional niche item (Zhonya's on Kennen/Morgana, for example). You either rush RoA and follow up with a Deathcap, or you rush Deathcap outright after you have 2-3 Doran's Rings for mana sustain. I prefer RoA for its safety and large mana pool, but if I'm facerolling and playing with people who will give me uncontested blue buffs, then Deathcap first is an option. Orianna farms with complete ease midgame anyway, so it's incredibly easy to get to Deathcap once you've finished RoA. EDIT: Also, to answer OP's question, she's an AP carry with supportive abilities. Similar to Morgana/Lux, though with more reliable, safe and constant damage than Morgana, and more utility than Lux.[/quote]
