Alright so Ornn has been my favorite champ in league, I was extremely hype for his release and I loved him, even with his terrible win-rate he was one of the only champions I played, he then got a series of buffs making him a beast and then people took notice and abused him. However you didn't revert some of the buffs, you just gutted him by taking away a core part of his kit and now he is arguably the worst champ in league. He gets no attention what-so-ever with an extremely low pick rate and ban rate. But when you decided to buff all the tanks why is it you ignored the worst one in the game? He needs a buff or something to make up for the gutting on his kit.

It's really annoying to be stunned during the ultimate or heaving ult cancelled by wind wall.

No offense but Ornn was godly BEFORE he got his buffs. Players didn't get long enough exposed to him before they decided he needed a buff.

I was Mastery 7 Ornn Day 2 of his release in 17 straight games - 16 wins.

His "Buffs" weren't really buffs as much as restructures. But they were mistaken for OP status, because the interaction with Ornn and Top lane just is..... impossible to balance because his intrinsic kit design doesn't play well with other Top lanes who have to walk back to lane, or can't deal with semi frequent barriers or sustained damage.

If you compared his "skilled" top lane play in any of the patches, they turned out about the same until Season 8, because of the new runes and none of them really working strongly on him (Aftershock has loss value, as does Grasp; They just aren't even tier 1-2 on him). Even then, I can still carry with Ornn.

I mean if you really think about it, the ONLY change to his kit that WASN'T a restructure was his Passive: The Minimum 13 level part of it was added to protect his TEAMMATES FROM THEMSELVES because purchasing early was negative in stat values vs holding off as a last or close to last improvement, yet players were Masterworking their first items.

He is NOT the worst champ in league. People are not playing him right. I can absolutely dominate with him. Try Phase Rush build with Manaflow Band, Transcendence. You can get his AD up to about 350-400 even on a very tanky build, which makes his Q more dangerous, and items like item 3156 item 3026 double dip and help E too.

As long as you focus HP over Armor, you generally can still perform VERY well. Just attempt to make him a mobile tank rather than just a PURE tank.

Because he's good in pro play. The last nerf he got was targeted solely at pro play. So that means he's doomed to forever sit at a low win rate because of less than 1% of League's playerbase much like Ryze and Azir.

Sad though, he was my favourite top laner.

I'm not sure how ornn was before I came back to lol so i would really appreciate if someone clarify how and when his unstoppable worked before. In overall I agree, I think that ornn should be unstoppable at least during his ult or on the path of his ult. I played him quite many times and he is really strong lane bully to most champions with dmg and shield that scales madly. I mostly use ult like a disaengage tool when I know that enemy team has some CC to stop my ult. It feels really bad to waste your ult.
