Tank
Beginner Rule
Don't ignore Ornn's damage just because he's building tank items.
Ornn is a tank who excels at teamfight initiation and crowd control. He wants to start fights with Call of the Forge God (R) before locking enemies down with follow-up crowd control. Many beginners underestimate how much damage Ornn can deal despite building full tank.
Level 6 – Ultimate creates strong engage opportunities.
Level 13+ – Upgraded items provide significant power.

QWhat it does
Slams the ground sending a fissure dealing damage and slowing. After a delay a magma pillar forms at the end.
How to play against
Dodge the fissure then move away from where the pillar will form — it blocks movement.
WWhat it does
Advances breathing fire. The final gout makes enemies Brittle increasing damage and enabling knockups from his other abilities.
How to play against
Brittle enemies get knocked up by his other abilities. Dodge the final gout — getting Brittle while he has Q available is devastating.
EWhat it does
Charges forward dealing damage. Hitting terrain creates a shockwave knocking up nearby enemies.
How to play against
Stay away from walls. He aims his charge to drive you into terrain for the knockup.
RWhat it does
Summons a massive elemental that charges toward him. He can redirect it by charging into it.
How to play against
A massive area threat. Move perpendicular to the elemental's path. The redirect is the unpredictable part.
