Lvl 1 trades arent worth it unless in minion wave walk away to reset her vital rush bramble 1st back use your w and pretend to auto to bait her parry then sidestep and now combo the shit out of her. Hug walls when she ults she will outscale you in the split but youre a teamfighting tank machine so just shove the waves and wait for a tp teamfight.
Camille
Kite her Q2 and poke with w. Give prio for waves until level 3. W her E if she engages you and stay away from her w sweetspot. Wait out her passive ornn does not have the damage to break it.At 6 she will dodge your ult with hers so walk back when you cast it and keep her out of range. Anathema and Tabis reduces her true damage and are useful to fight her in splitpush or in teamfights with anathema
Gwen
Dangerous lvl 1 focus on short trades and sidestepping her q dont w when her stacks are full because she will melt you with q. Dueling her after 1st item is almost impossible due to her insane damage but shes useless in teamfights IF you can land really really good CC on her shes a counter and a rough one at that so you just focus on laning perfectly and teamfighting perfectly and you should win.... It really isnt a fun matchup.
Irelia
Try to dodge her e or w it and bully the fuck out of her lvl 1 and back off into tower when she has 4 stacks if shes good you just perma farm and try to survive and keep wave on your side never fight on her side
Illaoi
Dodge the game
Warwick
Cheese lane just farm and dont hit him hell just heal
Vayne
You wont really have kill potential until lvl 6 just try to punish her by staying in bushes so she wastes a ward to auto to farm and punish her offensive qs by doing your bread and butter combo and focus her down in teamfights but using the bushes is the most important part of the lane
Darius
I personally love this matchup its very fun. As all darius matchups let the wave push to you and you can begin comboing him after lvl 3 you gotta q w and e away thats your bread and butter or when hes chasing you or just melee range w his e so you deny his E Q guranteed heal. You outscale him so its not a problem if you dont try to fight him
Aatrox
Rush bramble thornmail evenshroud and combo him sidestep his w or just facetank it and trade with him easy matchup and walk forward everytime he does 1st q and walk away when he 2nd Qs. VERY HARD
Yone
Really hard skill matchup if he has temp you lose level 1 if he has conq you win. W his Q3 and try to actually Q W it for more damage but you have to be really fast and reactive flash out of his E Q3 R combo it does a lot of damage. Punish his 22 second E cd its really long.
Tahm Kench
Kite In minions dont let him q you and w his cc. Try to survive the lane.
Sett
Kite him keep trades short and dont let him ult your ult
Vladimir
Be super aggressive he hyper outscales you always auto attack him and just try to kill him with Q and E. Dont ult or do a risky E if his pool his up.
Akshan
Dont stay near walls and walk away from him when he has his passive stacks up. Wait for his shield to drop before damaging him and fight him at 6 by doing q r e r w combo when he goes for cs or just straight up ult him to win the trade hard
Mordekaiser
You win pre 6 and theres one trick to this matchup when you ult hes gonna try to ult you right well you can just not press ult and press w instead you deny him his r and you have the advantage of doing damage with both abilites 2>0 and he has a brittle proc or walk away until the ram catches up and your trades before lvl 5 should look something like q e auto run away hes gonna E and you w back at him and auto and you keep running.
Gnar
Only fight him in mini gnar and w his ult when he engages on you try to combo him while hes farming. Let him have prio at first levels and just try to poke him down with qs and w
Gangplank
Dont get hit too much from his q hide in bushes and make sure your dshield passive regen stays up the whole time dont eat his q endlessly. Farm until you can q and combo him into oblivion or just farm and scale you wont really have much kill potential against a gankplank who knows the matchup
Lillia
Very annoying lane walk into her when she casts her Q similiar to darius Q. Hold your W when she has Ult up you can cancel it if you W at the last second of the drowsy
Jax
Stick near walls for e knockup and do only short trades DO NOT TRADE AUTOS. W when his stun is about to end and spam all your abilities and run. Always do short trades near walls and he never wins
Cassiopeia
Buy warmogs and try to farm you wont get kill potential on a good cassio if you ult her walk back so she cant w or ult it to stop you
Riven
Even matchup just farm and w her knockup not her stun short trades and ult if she ults to deny her stronger all in
Akshan
Stay away from walls and move away from wave when he qs. Abuse him with your own Q when he goes for CS. Try to setup a Q R E R W Combo in your side of the lane. You outscale akshan so going even is not the worst.
Shen
Pay attention to his sword and make sure it doesn't pass through you. Do not fight him level 1-5 just cs until you get ult then you can all in him and stomp trades. DO not auto attack when he w's your brittle just wait it out and click at the last second it will be enough time for your brittle to proc and stay activated just click at the last second.
Yasuo
Hard Skill Matchup play around walls and his windwall cd max w it does the most damage and youre never hitting a yasuo with q anyway so sit at walls for knockups
Kayle
Do not push into Kayle similar to Nasus matchup she scales super super hard but so do you. Punish her everytime she goes for any cs and only do ability trades no auto attack trades unless she is really REALLY low.
Heimerdinger
Stick near tower and rush mercs. Poke him as much as you can.
Shen
Dont fight him level 1-4 hes really REALLY strong early and can kill you easily. Play with the waves and you should be fine. Stick to walls to cc when he engages and always keep him in fog of war to cancel his ults or tps.
Sylas
Try to get prio level 1 if he leashes but if you leash its kinda doomed lane and you wont have kill opportunity until level 5 so go leashless and get prio by hitting caster minions.
Olaf
You win pre-6 but not level 1. Poke him and destroy him with Q W E combos.
Dr. Mundo
Just farm and punish him when he goes for cs youre much stronger lvl 1-5 after that its tough to kill him
Ryze
Stay away from minions when he E's them so you don't get hit by his AOE damage wait until you get 6 and all in him with ult advantage similar to teemo and jayce they have no ults at 6 so youre MUCH stronger.
Graves
Dont let him push you in and trade a lot with dshield and second make sure you fight him with bramble when he gets vamp scepter and all in him at 6
Akali
So you wanna bully her as mush as you can lvl 1-5 with you are stronger than her with grasp and corrupting pot and you scale like crazy as soon as she walks up to cs you auto q pop corrupting pot and run her down as for the lvl 6 if you catch her with a Q your combo (Q-R-E-R-Auto-W-Auto) should insta kill her or just win the lane for you because it is a true combo if she es away from your e just back off and keep farming
Kled
Your lvl 1 is stronger dont give prio when he qs and connects keep fighting and get all the damage you can and pop time warp to win it his dismounted mode will be up when your cooldowns are down you wont have enough damage. Focus on sidestepping his e q
Volibear
Poke him never trade autos only do Q W combos and E away always. Care for level 6 dives and divine sunderer spike. Give Prio.
Jayce
He will try to phase rush and do short combos but to be honest you win by just not dying and youre stronger than him but spam out your qs as fast as you can when he engages he will run away with e+ phase rush so just q w ult him to win the trade and give up prio lvl 1 and you should win. Just poke and poke and poke and outsustain with dshield just fight on your side of the wave and crash the wave when its on his side
Pantheon
Short Trades Only do not trade auto attacks only spells. Give prio level 1. Hold your brittle for when he es and just run away. All in at level 6 stack armor and pantheon should never kill you.
Akali
Abuse her level 1 Stick near minions so she cant hit her E on you and just auto her with grasp. Dont ult when she has both shroud and ult up she will dodge it.
Trundle
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT FIGHT HIM LEVEL ONE . Trundle has the best level 1 in the game. Hold your e for when he pillars you and then you use your E on his pillar and you knock him up and run away. Always auto and walk back and kite and poke with spells until he dies. Back Off when he uses Ultimate even in teamfights, you will take a lot of damage
Garen
Scale and win easy. Go fimbulwinter
Nasus
Dont push into Nasus EVER. Do not let him free farm let him push into you and freeze the wave as much as you can and bully him but be careful Ornn has a lot of AOE damage which can easily break the freeze so aim your abilities away from wave. Take unflinching for his wither so you can actually move.
Kennen
Rush Warmogs and hope for the best dont get poked too much just make sure your D-Shield refreshes everytime and makes a full cycle so you stay health. Dont force trades when his e is up only throw them when you know you can hit your abilities.
Gragas
W his e and if he has it up dont engage he cancel it and run away. This matchup is just a farm fest buy cull and chill. Also wait for him to use his q and then brittle because if he holds his q he doesnt get the damage
Wukong
Avoid level 1 all in unless in minions dont ult him if he has ult up hell just knock up so just run. Keep trades short and on your side and you should win.
Yorick
Dodge his E and you can destroy his cage with your own e so hold it until he uses cage. Yorick is extremely weak without his maiden so you win all the time. Easy Matchup
Cho'Gath
You both scale really hard but chogath does fuck you up with his silence so you cant properly combo him so either ult and just let it go through and auto attack with the brittle or just walk away and wait for the ram its like a second w and then w his q thats how your fights lvl 6 should go.If chogath fucks up his w timing well great just ult him
Teemo
All in at 6. Make sure dshield and second wind is always active from his poison you will actually heal from it and buy sweeper at 6 and rush merc treads to lower blind and slow durations.
Renekton
Dont trade much level 1 buy tabis first and he should do negative damage always q w and walk away when hes taking minions and keep your distance.
Sejuani
Scale and W her Stun or Q.
Maokai
Easy matchup just make sure youre not in his w range when youre ulting him.
Malphite
Easy matchup w his ult if you can just perma push and outscale
Sion
Easy matchup do not w his q when youre in it he will just charge it longer and do more damage.
Im Makkro. I have peaked at 1057 LP on EUW and Challenger in the Korean Server by playing only Ornn with about 3 Milion Mastery Points and have achieved Challenger Rank and am propably the best Tank Player in the Server.I have mastered and know everything there is to know about Ornn. I also stream Exteremly High Elo Ornn gameplay on my Twitch consistenly where you can learn more about laning and mid game macro on the champion. I've been playing League since Season 3 so I know all about this game since Im a veteran at this. I've focus on improving on Ornn on every aspect I could and am sharing everything I've learned from trial and error with a LOT of error in this guide from basic things like items all the way to the tiniest details of micro trade, spacing, and tricks that this champion has.
I have won vs the best top laners that EUW has to offer in challenger by playing an off-meta champion that isn't known as a solo-killer so this guide will help you do just that. Kill and win lane and stomp teamfights and gain that sweet +20 LP.
Why Should I Play Ornn?
x Solid Chad Laner x Hardest Scaling Tank In The Game x Really easy to pick up and learn x B O N K x One of the best teamfighters
Overview of Ornn's Abilities
| PASSIVE | LIVING FORGE
Ornn can create masterwork items for himself and for his allies. Ornn can spend gold to forge non-consumable items anywhere. Additionally, Ornn gains an additional bonus HP, armor and magic resistance from all sources and with each masterwork upgrade. You can use Living Forge to bait your opponent into trading with you. Always use Living Forge when youre higher hp because it gives more stats the higher hp you are so use a Health Potion to the fullest and THEN craft a Ruby Crystal in laning phase. Ornn's Passive refresh mythic item cooldowns like Galeforce Immortal Shieldbow, Turbo Chemtank, Crown of the Shattered Queen, Shurelya's Battlesong (Masterwork).
| Q | VOLCANIC RUPTURE
| Range: 800 | Cooldown: 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 | Cost: 45 |
Ornn slams the ground, sending out a fissure dealing damage and slowing enemies hit. After a small delay, a magma pillar forms at the end location. Scales with your attack damage and deals physical damage. This ability is your main poking device and It's also a great zoning tool make sure to use this like an Anivia wall in chokepoints like this in baron nashor and dragon fights.
Examples of Ornn Q being used as anivia wall in chokepoints
| W | BELLOWS BREATH
| Range: 500 | Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 | Cost: 45/50/55/60/65 |
Ornn advances, breathing fire. Enemies hit by the final gout of flame become Brittle. Fire and Brittle deal %HP of target's as magic damage. Ornn's basic attacks against Brittle enemies briefly knocks them back. This is your biggest damage ability and it interrupts a lot of cc like Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab, Thresh's Death Sentence and knockups like Unstoppable Force, Rupture, Apprehend and so on. You can also use Bellows Breath to avoid knockups from baron nashor and Dragon.
| E | SEARING CHARGE
| Range: 800 | Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12 | Cost: 35/40/45/50/55 |
Ornn charges, dealing damage to enemies he passes through. If Ornn collides with terrain while charging, the impact creates a shockwave around him which deals damage and knocks up enemies. Scales with your armor, magic resistance and deals physical damage. This is your main cc tool for peeling and combos. In laning phase you can use it as a dash onto your opponent and just run them down. It can be interrupted so be careful how you use it and when you use it. Make sure no random hooks or cc is thrown at you so the ability actually goes through. Same goes for his ultimate Call of the Forge God.
ULTIMATE
| R | CALL OF THE FORGE GOD
| Range: 2500 | Cooldown: 140/120/100 | Cost: 100 |
Ornn summons a massive elemental at a location which travels toward him with increasing speed. Enemies run over by the elemental take damage, are slowed and are made Brittle. Ornn can recast the ability to charge into the elemental, redirecting it in the direction he hits it, causing the elemental to affect any enemies it runs over to be knocked up, dealing the same damage and re-applying Brittle. Scales with your ability power and deals magic damage. This is your big engage but be careful for Braum, Samira, Yasuo as they all can make your ult dissappear and when against those champions your main engage tool is Searing Charge. Your ult should only be used in a defensive manner into those champions.
Runes And Summoner Spells
Flash
Flash is one of the best summoner spells on Ornn due to the amount of plays and engages and disenage and gank safety it can get you out of it also allows for cool combos on Ornn and it just is the best summoner in the game.
Teleport
Teleport is the best secondary summoner spell on Ornn because it offers gank safety since you will always be weakside as a tank.
There is no debate or question over which one is the best here. The other runes don’t work and Demolish is honestly the most powerful rune in the game if you don’t count keystones for tanks to gain gold and tempo and pressure in league. Tip: If a tower is low and youre about to demolish it dont just let the minions do it and use Demolish on the next tower.
For the most part you go Second Wind due to how many champions can easily proc Bone Plating other than Wukong, Jax, Sett, Irelia. These champions are all in champions where Bone Plating absolutely destroys these champions damage but for the most part you want to take Second Wind due to the sheer sustain and survivability ornn gets. Conditioning can ONLY be used in tank matchups such or free scaling and safe matchups like Darius, Nasus where you wont really interact with the enemy.
Take Overgrowth into comps where they dont have a lot of cc and slows and you will never EVER need Revitalize because you have zero shields or healing. However if they do have slows like Ashe or stuns like Leona, Nautilus, Gnar, Renekton take Unflinching as it is a very underrated and solid rune.
Take Magical Footwear into matchups wwhere you dont need early tabi rush and Biscuit Delivery for the sustain and mana. You can opt for the Cosmic Insight into only these champions Irelia Fiora for the early tabi rush with bramble because hp does nothing and you need auto attack damage reduction and mobility to outplay their trades
Inspiration
Ranged Runes
Inspiration
Inspiration Is one of the trees that synergizes with Ornn the best vs ranged matchups and Glacial Augment allows for very nice trades while also providing peel for your team . Unsealed Spellbookis also a really good but hard to use rune and needs practice to be used well. You can take this rune into very mobile ranged champions that can dash out of your Glacial Augment where your level 6 all in with ignite will secure the lane for you. Until further changes to Glacial Augment I will continue to take it over Unsealed Spellbook just because it is stronger and more universal on Ornn
Magical Footwear is the best rune to take the rest suck. Boots give you free 300 gold and +10 movement speed its free stats.
For the most par you go Biscuit Delivery for the mana and hp sustain also increase your max mana capacity which makes you able to clear more waves and spam your abilities more. Minion Dematerializer isn't worth losing the biscuits and ornn doesn't need more waveclear and Future's Market is only good for rushing an early Bramble Vest vs champions like Fiora or Aatrox but personally I would just go for the Biscuit Delivery and relax in lane.
Take Cosmic Insight for the reduced cooldown on items like randuins and the summoner spell cooldown reduction for the extra utility. Its a really solid rune and very worth taking. Approach Velocity is also a good but selfish choice on Ornnand I do not prefer it but it is not bad like Time Warp Tonic, especially when youre taking Glacial Augment or Unsealed Spellbook.
ALWAYS Take Second Wind since youre taking the rune page for range matchups and Bone Plating is grief with this rune page. Conditioning is a good choice when youre comfortable in a matchup or you just dont proc it a lot like vs Darius where you will just AFK farm and outscale.

There is no debate or question over which one is the best here. The other runes don’t work and Demolish is honestly the most powerful rune in the game if you don’t count keystones for tanks to gain gold and tempo and pressure in league.
In tank matchups you go Conditioning for the pure scaling because you dont need Second Wind for sustain since you will be both perma farming and ignoring eachother but you can still go it since Second Wind is the best laning rune to take.
Take Overgrowth into comps where they dont have a lot of cc and slows and you will never EVER need Revitalize because you have zero shields or healing. However if they do have slows like Ashe or stuns like Leona, Nautilus, Gnar, Renekton take Unflinching as it is a very underrated and solid rune.
Take Transcendence for the CDR reduction its stronger then Celerity since Ornn has ZERO needs for movement speed and Absolute Focus is never good since Ornn is a BIG BEEFY Tank not a full hp squishy that oneshots so Absolute Focus never works.Always take Transcendence and you will get FREE ELO from the cooldown refunds on kills and the base ability haste you get from it.
Always always take Manaflow Band into tank matchups like Maokai Malphite
or Dr. Mundo because you will be perma-nuking waves and your mana pool will get destroyed and Manaflow Band really has a lot of value. Nullifying Orb can work only into full 4 ap enemy comps but you shouldn't really use it because full ap enemy team is the ideal scenario that doesn't happen that much. Nimbus Cloakcan work if youre being very very aggressive and have Ignite but Manaflow Band is still the superior rune choice
Itemization
Usual Core Builds
In this chapter I'll introduce you to my recommended build path for Ornn which will be the most optimal into most teamcomps but you will have to think on your own and adapt. Ornn's upgrade priority goes like this Lethality Items, Magic Penetration Items, Bruise r Items, AP Enchanter Supp Items, Adc Items, Tank Supp items. Infinty Edge uprade on Jhin gives him 30 ad because he converts attack speed to ad which is really strong.
This build path is the highest dps on Ornn vs range comps
Core Items
Jaksho Jak'Sho, The Protean is a really solid mythic into most comps because it offers a lot of tankiness for Ornn
Sunfire Aegis Sunfire Aegis is a good item to build second when they have a lot of champs that fight for a long time like and in melee good rush in lane vs champs like Darius,Kled,Illaoi,Aatrox etc.
Frozen Heart Frozen Heart l is very op vs auto attackers like Yone Yasuo Tryndamere Trundle etc.
Sorcerer's Shoes Sorcerer's Shoes are boots to build vs heavy tanky comps but it's not needed if your team has enough damage.
Ionian Boots of Lucidity Ionian Boots of Lucidity you build these when you don't need resistances and are the only one left to carry the game.
Boots of Swiftness Boots of Swiftness can be built into champs with a lot of slow resist like Ashe, Nasus, Anivia.
Legendaries
Thornmail Thornmail is the best 2nd item to build vs bruisers and very heal heavy comps it gives really good stats for Ornn and makes him super tanky. Really good choice into Aatrox, Fiora, Irelia, Darius, Jax
Force of Nature Force of Nature is the best magic resist item in the game right now and it is REALLY STRONG because it gives so much resists it's insane
Anathema's Chains Anathema's ChainsReally good item to build when there is one fed hypercarry that if you focus you win the game.
Knight's Vow Knight's Vow is an item you build where your role is to single handedly peel and ONLY peel for your adc. You only build it when you have a Vayne or Aphelios that needs protecting from assassins like Talon, Qiyana.
Gargoyle Stoneplate Gargoyle Stoneplate is a very strong tank item on Ornn the resists stack with his passive %amplification Living Forge and it's very good vs true damage users.
Spirit Visage Spirit Visage is a good magic resist item to build when you have Lulu, Soraka, Karma and you need more magic resist on top of Force of Nature . So you only build it when you need more magic resist and have those types of champions in your game
Redemption Redemption is a very good peel item and if you've already built Knight's Vow you might as well go full support and get Redemption it's really cheap and good but ONLY if your team doesn't need more tankiness just more hp for themselves.
Warmog's Armor Warmog's Armor is a very strong item on Ornn I prefer to rush it 1st vs only Gnar Kennen because it makes laning vs them so much easier its also a good 3rd item vs heavy poke comps like Lux, Xerath, Jhin, Ezreal.
Winter's Approach Winter's Approach is a mediocre second item you can buy in comps where you are mostly peel and only need to tank. Shields work really well vs true damage users like Gwen, Camille and Vayne but you need to buy tear very early so its stacked when you buy it second. But to be frank this item is really risky and not worth to buy on Ornn because he doesn't need mana or Hp he needs defenses like armor and magic resist to have value.
Sunfire Aegis Sunfire Aegis is a good first item vs heavy ad teams like Darius, Aatrox, Olaf and general bruisers that dont really get countered by crit reducers or attack speed reducers.
Sunfire Aegis Turbo Chemtank is a good first item vs heavy ap teams when you require just a little extra engage.
Most of early game youre going to focus on short trading like this so you take minimum damage while dealing the most. Trading with Ornn is one of the most important concepts and easiest to learn. Most of Ornn's trades are short and very damaging and full of cc so you will alawys have time to dissengage in between trades. Your first trade combo to learn is a regular Q, W and Searing Charge away.
Combos
Q R Auto E Auto R Auto W Auto MAX DAMAGE COMBO
This combo gets easier and easier to do the higher attack speed you have it lets you weave in an extra grasp proc and auto which is about 100-200 damage extra you can only do this if you start in melee range
Early Game
Ornn's early game is really simple and it relies around your Volcanic Rupture. You want to use this spell to farm first 3 melee minions and if your opponent comes to trade simply kite with the minions while auto attack. If the enemy champion has a really strong level 1 you just give priority completely and dont trade with them like a Sett() or Darius. The items you buy early depends on matchup but usually a Ruby Crystal is solid enough. If you're low on hp the helth from hp items you build have less value because it will give less and less the lower your healthpool is so build armor or magic resist or boots if you are low and need an item FAST. Keep your trades short and smart with as little risk. Go to the trade pattern section to learn more about trading styles. Use your Volcanic Rupture to poke the enemy ONLY when he's taking farm because that's when your Volcanic Rupture has highest chances of hitting. Searing Charge is a spell that's really good for disengage not by dashing away but by Crowd Controling them into a wall and THEN running because if they can interrupt it or have a dash they will catch up instantly and your Searing Dash leaves Ornn stuck in an animation so it isn't as fast as other champion dashes like Riven where she cancels the animation out. Your Bellows Breath should be used with your Volcanic Rupture because it combos really well and is really safe. Do not play aggressive if your cooldowns are not up you will get punished severely and Ornn can't match an enemy with auto attacks even with Grasp of the Undying.
MID AND LATE GAME MACRO
As Ornn youre looking to mirror pressure clear waves and rotate and get a pick with Call of the Forge God. You want to be on the blue or red side depending on what team you are and NOT overextened because Ornn isn't a 1v9 champion with a lot of mobility like Camille he can't afford to pass this line or he gets rotated on and dies focus on clearing waves and getting a teamfight or securing baron nashor or dragon because that is your WINCON. Always alawys teamfight and buy sweeper for your team since you are the frontline and are gonna be facechecking bushes a LOT.
Teamfighting
Teamfighting styles
Front to Back
Your main goal in a front to back teamfight is really simple all you have to do is soak up damage and CC as efficently as you can while your backline does damage and supports help you tank or keep asassins away.
The key is holding your spells especially if they can be interrupted by enemy CC.
Like if you have Searing Charge but have no knockups nearby just hold it until you get near a wall or terrain for knockup.
If you brittle somebody but dont need the damage on them just wait for your teammates to proc the brittle with a cc of their own. Because if youre all 5v5 and really close you don't need to proc brittles because a Jhin or Morgana or Lux or Syndra will one shot if they proc a brittle on their won. You just burn them with immolate passive and wait until your allies proc brittle.
Poking Comps
Into poking comps you either tank the poke and let your team out poke the enemy and you sustain with Warmog's Armor but if your team is not a poke comp you HAVE to use your ultimate Call of the Forge God to pick somebody immobile and vurnerable out or you lose the fight because they will poke you down until you lose.
Assassin Comps
Your goal against these types of comps is build in a defensive way so your ad carries can survive and you have to stick really close to them and be ready to Searing Charge into a knockup at any time because if your adc dies your comp falls appart. Knight's Vow helps a lot vs these kinds of comps. Your role is basically that of a Braum. Protect your carry at all costs and peel.
Dive Comps
Against these types of comps like Hecarim, Yone, Riven, Camille, Irelia you want to make sure they do not reach your backline and if they do CC them to the best of your ability. Focus on always kiting backwards and never forwards and ulting defensively so your carries don't get oneshot.
Conclusions
Ornn is a very solid and good champion to learn and play and I personally find him to be the best champion out of all because well BONK. Bonking people is fun as **** and so is playing this big guy. This guide took me a long time to make but I did it because I love Ornn and he is very unpopular and underplayed and I wanted to remind you what a good Ornn brings to the table and I want to see him picked and played properly again. Follow me on my twitch and join my discord if you wanna learn more about the champion and have as much fun with GIGACHAD TANK GAMING!!!
