So, as one of the only Ornn players out there...

Please undo his latest buff (changing W to max health instead of current health).

I have 68 games on this account, and another 30 on my smurf I'm not naming (adding up to about 100 games in total). On both accounts, I have a 50% or higher winrate, and I have a 5.5:1 KDA on this account, 6.3:1 on my other, so I think I have the right to talk about this.

But... the buff to his W just makes him kind of broken, since he just up and does all this damage to you, and he can nuke low health targets now while being this massive immovable object that can sit in an enemy team for several seconds before dying. He was fine before, even strong, but not everyone could play him -- and that's FINE.

I just don't want another repeat of Poppy (my favorite champ since her rework), where she was fine in the right hands, but wasn't universally considered good. So you buffed her for the lowest common denominator, and she ended up being broken, and then gutted into obscurity. After a while you tried to fix her, but just made her feel clunky and bad, and now she's sitting at a pretty bad winrate, and her kit still doesn't feel good.

So just... stop pandering to morons. If they can't play the champ, oh well. He's not popular anyway.

And his ult change just feels bad, and makes it fire in the wrong direction sometimes (like, it goes the exact opposite direction you were charging).

while i do agree that ornn was pretty strong, the manner in which you presented this issue, especially this: "So just... stop pandering to morons. If they can't play the champ, oh well. He's not popular anyway." was inappropriately aggressive towards both the general player base AND indirectly insulting towards the riot games balancing team.

I see Ornn getting played in ranked and i do think he is strong, Great utility champ and enchanted items(i see no team actually using these items), Will come to right.

People don't build the items very often, true. But he's absolutely not weak in any way, despite what people say.

His early game is laughably weak. He starts to hold his own between early- and mid-game. By late game he is a juggernaut. So technically Ornn is not weak, just needs a little more balancing. He's still a bit too strong late game and a bit too weak in the early game. I have also found that champions with lots of mobility wreck him pretty hard, even with his W and passive. The one advantage he has is that with hp regen items, he almost never has to return to base at all the whole game.
