honestly i'm not sure why everyone is beating around the bush.
your post is similar to those posts in poker forums by people wanting a get rich cookie cutter strat or asking how many bb/100 they can expect to make at 100NL after playing 10k hands of 50NL.
You're looking for easy tips to hard carry games when even your itemization seems terrible.
Futhermore, comments like these:

i like to play orianna is she a good pick to straight up carry games with?
sound like you have almost no understanding of the game.
I mean to begin with, you main mid and you're asking about orianna. Secondly, and likely more importantly, the way you phrase it leads one to believe you don't really understand HOW to carry on any sort of level deeper than "well i carry by getting tons of kills & **** with OP champs"
You say you play in gold but keep going g2->g3 b/c u can't singlehandedly carry yet you ask for some mistakes gold players make so you can exploit them. You need to build an understanding of this game in order to consistently play well ("carry" as you call it). An understanding of the game implies being able to recognize mistakes other players make. If this were challenger then the question would actually, and counter-intuitively, be more legit as people there make way fewer mistakes and way less obvious ones. However, in gold, if you're not noticing dozens of mistakes each game, your understanding of the game is waaaaay way below that of someone who will be able to consistently "carry" and get out of gold.
I mean look, i'm silver and i think your thought process is terrible and very akin to lvl 1 reg-fish in poker; granted there's not that much skill difference between silver and gold but if even i notice your glaring thought process leaks then there's no way you're going to outplay gold players strategically and tactically (which seems to be part of the problem as you're only talking about champs that are good to carry, but very little about strategy, etc - you admit you don't know when or why to splitpush*)
*this is like regfish pressing buttons. they raise or checkraise but have no idea why, likely because they've seen some guy do it in a video with a similar hand but on a totally different texture/vs a totally different opponent
take nisash for example. I hate the guy(obv not literally), his posts annoy me more often than not and his personality irks me. However, the guy ****ing understands the game soooo much better than me and that's likely why he's so much higher than me (that and my playing high most of the time). Everytime he posts whining about a game, he points out mistakes other players make that i don't even consider in-game (maybe b/c my mechanics aren't at the unconscious level of learning meaning i still have to focus on them which takes mental power from focusing on other, subtler, things). He understands how to splitpush, when to splitpush, when to group when not to group, he understands jungler pressure and counter pressure and the way it relates to how a laner should behave. But most importantly, he understands WHY, he understands not only the answers to these questions, but the reasons why the answers are what they are. Which is an amazing thing, because it means that you know these answer for every(within reason) situation that will come up, because u haven't just learned these things by heart, you understand the logic of it and therefore can formulate an answer for different situations. Basically you always know what to do next and why.
^ was that some good negging?
