I mean, some Alicorns aren’t overpowered or Mary Sues. If they have a set back story on why they are an Alicorn, it’s okay. But I hate how people see an Alicorn OC and think “Oh look, another Mary Sue”. It angers me greatly…

Alicorns are supposed to be powerful thought. You can’t have someone be an alicorn and make them a waitress. They need to be incredibly powerful because the onlyt four we have seen can shape the earth itself.
They are supposed to be powerful. But that is just more of a reason to not make alicorn OCs
I want to ask you one question…
How powerful do you think Twilight Sparkle was when she ascended?
Powerful enough to walk straight into the land of the dead, stop three beings of evil, force other ponies cutiemarks onto somepony else, complete a spell that has eluded unicorns for ages and enter void made entirely of magic.
Also, afterwards, she was able to save the universe from a thousand years of twilight and chaos, save a different universe from a thousand years of darkness and enslavement, defeat a being capable of eating magic and survive absorbing the power of three alicorns who are individually near OP.
If the point you were trying to make was that Twi was a normal pony before ascending to being an alicorn and was still normal while an alicorn, you seem to have forgotten these things.
She was not a normal unicorn. She was the personification of magic.
