As the title says...

Ornn is currently sitting at a 44%-45% win rate: http://na.op.gg/champion/ornn/statistics/top https://champion.gg/champion/Ornn/Top?league=%2Cplat%2Csilver

As a level 7 Ornn. it pains me to say this that he is pretty much in an unplayable state right now and is basically a troll pick if you end up locking him in. He provides no damage, very easily kited, unreliable CC, and lacks tankiness to be made viable

W: Bellows Breath

Shield strength increased from 12% all ranks to 16% all ranks

Patch 8.2 reverted; Ornn is now unstoppable during Bellows Breath

New Bellows Breath shield is now a true shield - immune to all shield penetration and blocking any true damage

Giving Ornn his unstoppable back will allow him to counter champions with displacements again, as well as having the ability to outplay with his W.

Increasing the shield strength and making it a true shield will allow Ornn survive even the most toughest teamfights.

E: Searing Charge

New Armor/Magic Resist scaling removed; 80% AD scaling added to Searing Charge

By adding an AD scaling to Searing Charge will allow Ornn to have the ability to build AD items if he chooses, such as item 3071 item 3748 item 3053 item 3153 item 3812 , and will provide Ornn enough damage to stand his ground and duel any champion - but at the cost of being squishier than usual.

R: Call of the Forge God

AP scaling changed from 20% to 80%

By increasing the AP scaling will allow Ornn to deal burst damage and build AP items, such as item 3027 item 3285 item 3151 item 3135 item 3089... But at the cost of being incredibly squishy.

I get behind the unstoppable buff, that was what made him fun to begin with. The overarching weak state of tanks is super depressing in this meta though. You can't play anyone in that class unless it's Mundo

You must really want to put Ornn back on permaban status huh.

I think the “true shield” is over kill here, as well as your ad and ap scaling suggestions, Ornn should stay in the tank class; not the bruiser class. But I would like to see unstoppable in his W make a return, might make playing him somewhat bearable with how RIOT is attempting to make him balanced in the LCS scene AND nerfing him into non existence.
