When one defines both the AP Carry and Support roles, Orianna should definitely come to mind. She is the epitome of the term AP-Support Carry, having abilities that can be attributed to each role. However, this should not be taken as a deterrent for using her. In fact, Orianna is not lacking in either department. Through proper usage of “The Ball” and rather low cooldowns, Orianna can literally control teamfights. According to Cubby1313 (2013), her abilities allow her to scout, buff teammates’ movement speeds, shield either herself or an ally, and pull her enemies in while dealing “Tons of Damage (p.1).”

In addition to teamfight presence, Orianna strives in the mid lane. Scouting allows her to farm creeps safely and her passive, which adds magic damage to her auto-attacks, aids in last hitting. Also, Cubby1313 (2013) states that Orianna can escape ganks by shielding and boosting her movement speed (p.1).
