Who Wins
- You struggle in direct trades pre-6 due to Ornn's W-E combo being difficult to avoid, but you can farm safely with Q waveclear from distance.
- Post-6 the matchup remains Ornn-favored since his R is more reliable for picks while your R is easily interrupted by his knockups.
How to Trade
- Focus on Q max for safe farming and poke rather than engaging directly - charge Q from fog of war or when Ornn uses abilities on minions.
- When he W's forward, immediately start charging Q as he'll likely follow with E, giving you a window to land knockup before his combo completes.
Wave Control
- Use Q to push waves quickly and recall for items, avoiding extended laning phases where Ornn can repeatedly trade favorably.
- Look to roam with R after shoving since you can't match his 1v1 pressure but provide better map impact through surprise ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade auto attacks or short trades against Ornn as his passive shield and Brittle damage will win these exchanges.
- Avoid channeling Q in his threat range without minions to block his E, as getting knocked up during Q channel leaves you vulnerable to extended punishment.
