Ornn is a great and amazing champion. One of my favorites! His unique passive(Living Forge) makes him able to stay in lane while forging items for an extended period of time, and also gives him a huge advantage in that he is able to surprise his enemies with unexpected damage, defense, or burst items. I hope you all find this guide useful, and if you have any questions feel free to comment on the comments section of this page! Have fun summoners!

The runes that I chose are above. The reason I chose those specific runes is because Ornn adds something else unique to league of legends: The new status effect Brittle. Because Ornn has this new effect, Champions often are running away from Ornn before he can deal the killing auto attack. I decided to give him some AD and some Attack speed in order to make sure that final blow is a satisfying (and quick) death! A majority of the kills I have got were because of the final blow Brittle offers.

Building Items all really depends on who your laning against, or who is massively carrying on their team. For example, I just played a game the other day where I was laning top vs. a Vladimir. I didn't have any trouble with the Vlad, but the Warwick jungle on their team was carrying hard. So I just built the usual MR items first, then rushed the Armor items. The build fluctuates based on who your playing against. FOR THE SPECIAL ITEMS: If its an AD team, upgrade the Sunfire Cape. If its AP team, upgrade the Abyssal mask into Infernal Mask. IMPORTANT: The buff for upgrading the Locket of Iron Solari is probably the worst idea. It is way to expensive to give you a buff that is not that great. Upgrade either Sunfire Cape or Abyssal Mask

Very Simple: Q to bring up the slow and the damage as well as the magma pillar. Then w into the enemy champion while they are slowed and the magma pillar is still in the ground. This will activate brittle and then you can e into the pillar once it comes up. Once the knockup happens, you can easily get the auto attack off on them for that quick finish. If you just want to poke, use q w a lot, because your e has quite a long cooldown, you shouldn't really use it unless you're sure you can do some decent damage and get away okay. YOUR ULT IS AMAZING. A lot of times anyone with half health can be destroyed by your ult. You combo them, then headbutt your ult back into them for the knockup, then just restart your combos. DON'T FORGET TO AUTO THE BRITTLE OFF OF YOUR ULT.
Note: Alternative combo: q, then e, then w after you e. I think the first combo is better, but you can try both and see which one you prefer.

Ornn is a dope tank. He can very little damage really, but he can dive like nobody else. You can jump right into the fight, use your w, e, and q and get out with enough health to last you a while (Plus you have that Warmog's, so you have GREAT health regen.) Worse comes to worst, sometimes I find myself initiating teamfights and I will die as Ornn, but it will in turn lead to an Ace for our team...... With the rest of the team still left. 1 for 5, pretty good. YOUR ULT. OH MY GOODNESS. This is a great initiator. Such a long knockup... Such a huge range... Your ult is amazing. Use it to start teamfights if you can. Run up, q, r, the e after you headbutt the Ram back and GG: TEAMFIGHT WON!!!!

1. Use flash to position yourself to get a good e for your team. A good e can make or break a team-fight.
2. If you get ganked, use your e of course, but if that still leaves you in trouble, you can w towards where you want to go. Although this will not save you for sure, it does give you a reasonable shield and it cancels CC, so you might be able to get away. When I try it it has worked 90% of the time. (The only time it didn't work was with a Warwick Jungle)
3. Use your ult wisely. Your ult makes or breaks all who Ornn is. Honestly Ornn is almost a useless champ without his ult. You can use your ult to enter a team fight, run away successfully from a major 4v1, and maybe help out a few squishies that might look like they have been caught out. The ult does a pretty good amount of damage, and the knock-up is LONG. Use it wisely and at the right time.
4. Be strategic about the items you buy in lane. If you are planning to go all in on your laner, buy a few tank items pertaining to that laner first. They are surprised, and you don't take as much damage.
5. If you're low on health and you don't want to go back, forge your warmogs!! It will take you back to full health almost instantly.
6. Never hang around by the fountain! There is no need to. You can forge items anywhere! The only reason you should be by the fountain is cause you had to recall due to health.
7. LET PEOPLE DIVE YOU!!!! Especially in ganks. You have a lot of cc and sustain under turret. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten a double kill off of them diving me. Of course, if we're talking like 100 health its probably not the best idea, but if you're at around 20-30% health and they are at around 50-60%, you can easily turn that into a double. have them dive, then you q, w, then e the wall and its pretty much over. the w gives you that big shield. And, if you have ult, make sure to use that for the knock-up. Deals damage and keeps them under tower!
8. One of Ornn's strongest points is his ability to turn a fight. He may look like he is seemingly losing a fight, which most of the time is because you are. However, when you are running away from an attacker, just wait until all your spells are off cool-down, then you can easily turn the fight with a q, w, e combo. A lot of the kills that I get as Ornn are when the top laner is chasing me into the bush, and then I just turn around and combo the heck out of them. People really think that they have him beat. Now of course, if your attacker has a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger percentage of health, don't go in for the turn. Try to wait until your e is off CD, then just e out of the fight.
9. HAVE FUN

Hi, my name is Riddwrecker, and I have been playing league for about 6 years now. Although I am not perfect at league, and by no means amazing at the game. I find I have a love for it, and for specific champions in particular. Those champs include, THE OLD SHEN!!!!!!, Kled, Irelia, Poppy, Twisted Fate (I love him, but I have never been good at him) and Ornn. I think at my peak I was Silver 1, and then I went to college and got a life, but I still love league a lot! I play about 3 games a day. I made this guide because Ornn is kind of new, and I always loved looking at the guides for New Champs! I hope you enjoy it!!
