Nah. But it's hard to lane bully as him. Winning lane vs Winning fights are very different.

Look. I learned Ornn as Support and Jungle..... I never even played him top until this month (When he first came out I M7'd him on 17 consecutive S+'s in his first incarnations.... unlike champs like Kayn..... I found Ornn really synergized well with my momentum of play, and often pulled 30-40 assists per game).

What I learned was..... Ornn's job isn't to lane bully or to be a solo winner. It's to get the game momentum going for other players.

What Ornn in his current incarnation should do considering his limitations:

  1. Never have to recall, even if he has mana challenges (I do this by getting these items relatively quickly: item 3010 item 3107 item 3025).

This keeps your top honest and top, so you can harass and make him pay if he teleports bot/roams. It means their jungler and top are both limited in their ability to influence a game...... just because you're always there, and Ornn is strong at taking ganks if placed right.

  1. Gank mid when you know you can do more than just hit an R. If you can force a wall knock and R, or counter gank a jungler do it, then head back top.

I just pulled Ornn out of the closet and wiped the dust off, and I've already won 17 in 18 games.

His winrate says he's awful, it even said it before but of course that never stops riot for gutting champions.
