By far one of the weirdest champs to use combos with, and he has an overloaded W to compensate for his shitty kit synergy. Riot basically made trash and put a diamond on top with the W (and maybe R). He becomes basically impossible to kill due to his W spam shield with a low CD
he definitely has too much clunkiness... on his w sure, it makes sense. on his ult and e it just hurts....
lets take a moment to realize how simple his abilities used to be.
then riot put him down to a 37% win rate.
then riot hard buffed for 4 straight patches until he became the 47% he was originally.
and then finally gave him AP on champion hits and assists and a faster meteor.
i agree ornn is completely carried by his W and offers next to nothing at all without it.
unfortunately many champions are designed this way. where 1 overloaded ability makes the rest of the champion good. 
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute.
Ornn definitely needs some major tweaking but he's not trash--just strange. I find that his early game vulnerability needs some buffing while his late game needs to be taken down a few pegs. The pillar made by his Q exists only for him to dash into, but otherwise it gets in the way. His ult does not do enough damage for how it functions and if you miss the redirect, you get punished pretty heavily by a long cooldown. His best quality is his W and with autoattacks popping off the debuff.
Try playing him in jungle. That's his best role so far. All he can do in top lane is wait till the team is ready to leave mid and bot and help push up top. His top lane play is not that good at the moment.
