How to beat Ornn

Common role: Top

A self-sufficient tank who upgrades items and stuns your team with a double knock-up ult.

What makes Ornn dangerous

Ornn forges upgraded items for himself and his team without recalling, and his ultimate summons a charging ram that knocks up, then he can re-activate it to knock up again — a devastating teamfight engage. He also breaks brittle terrain to knock you up. He's a scaling tank with strong lane sustain and a wombo ult.

How to play against Ornn

• 1Respect his double ult knock-up — the ram knocks up, and his re-cast knocks up again. Don't group tightly when it's available.
• 2Dodge his Q terrain break and E charge — both knock you up and set up his combo. Sidestep the skillshots.
• 3He's tanky but low damage — kite him and burst his carries. % health and magic damage beat his armor.
• 4In lane he out-sustains poke with his passive — don't waste mana, and pressure his weak early levels before he scales.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Low personal damage — a scaling peel/engage tank.
• ✓Ult and Q/E knock-ups are dodgeable skillshots.
• ✓% health and magic damage beat his armor.
• ✓Immobile — kiteable with no gap-closer beyond his E.

• R
  Richiamo del dio della forgia

  Ornn evoca un possente elementale che si muove verso di lui con velocità crescente. I nemici travolti dall'elementale subiscono danni, vengono rallentati e diventano Fragili. Ornn può lanciare nuovamente l'abilità per caricare verso l'elementale, deviandolo nella direzione in cui lo colpisce, facendo in modo che i nemici colpiti dall'elementale vengano lanciati in aria, e che infligga gli stessi danni e riapplichi Fragilità.

  Strong: a charging ram knocks up, then his re-cast knocks up again — a double AoE stun. Weak: don't group tightly when it's available.
