Ornn Issue: Running Out of Things To Do

Meep Man··2 votes·488 views

In team fights, Ornn's higher cool downs seem to be really screwing with what he can do past the initiation of a fight. Without an in-combat passive, he doesn't do much after knocking the enemy team into the air and doing a full rotation. I think regardless of if Ornn needs buffs or not, this should be fixed as it makes him feel useless in a team fight after the fight begins, especially team fights where there aren't any walls all over the place (in a lane). My recommendation is something along the lines of:

Q- Volcanic Rupture

  • Damage reduced to 20/35/50/65/80 (+80/85/90/95/100% AD) from 20/50/80/110/140 (+100% AD)
  • Cool Down reduced to 9/8/7/6/5 seconds from 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds
  • Pillar Formation Time reduced to 1.25 seconds from 1.5 seconds

E- Searing Charge

  • Explosion Damage reduced to 30/60/90/120/150 (+30% Armor) (+30% Magic Resist) from 40/80/1201/60/200 (+30% Armor) (+30% Magic Resist)
  • Cool Down reduced to 16/14.5/13/11.5/10 seconds from 16/15/14/13/12 seconds

This further locks in Ornn as a CC champion who isn't a damage threat, and allows him to continue to be useful in a fight after the first shot is fired and he has done a full rotation.

The other thing ive noticed is that if the other team has a Garen, Darius, or Cho, you shouldnt play Ornn at all because they all out damage him through the entire game, they all get tankier way fast than Ornn, and they remain tankier than Ornn until extremely late game when they are full build and Ornn catches up. idk Ornn seems super underwhelming, but with a bunch of potential if they changed a few stats and maybe made him scale in only one way instead of AD on q, Health % on w, Armor/MR on e, and 20% ap scaling on his Ult. Hes just a bit to all over the place in my opinion.

I think the scaling on him is fine as he is not supposed to deal too much damage, but right now his threat level goes from a 10 to a 1 really quick once he has gone one full rotation. I think it's too early to definitively say if he is weak or UP, but I don't think it's healthy if a tanky champion who will likely last the longest has nothing to do for most of the fight.
