It took so long and we've given up so much to get here. I don't even recognize him the same anymore.

"I'm used to this level of disappointment." This meme hit's hard but true.
I know this is a meme, but I wouldnt say that he lost everything. He lost his shield, which was a MAJOR part of his kit, W got a CD nerf. But in return he gets
More health/level more armor/level Q mana buff HUGE increase in W brittle damage E mana buff and CC duration buff R nerf that I dont fully grasp yet Passive change that I don't fully understand yet.
So Riot is doing what they love to do, but the community hates. Buffing tank base damage to ludicrous levels while taking away something that the tank player actually enjoys.
I loved using Ornn as the ultimate counter for Blitzcrank, I'm glad he's back. I wonder if with these changes he will be more viable in the Jungle.
Welp, so much for busting out Ornn support again
So we're just gonna gloss over the fact that his entire team gets a free item upgrade?
You CANNOT REMOVE HIS SHIELD. He needs his shield to outplay. If you remove his shield then you should remove yasuo's too.
So season 9 is ganna be the season of tanks?
I started playing season 7, and it seems there is a class being buffed every season.
From what I heard season 6 was the season of assassins Season 7 was the season of supports(ardane censer OP) Season 8 was the season of brusiers and adc(only late game, though)
I'm not sure if I'm ready for season 9 lol
“Ya wanna play Ornn?! Is that a fun champion?!”
When I heard that for the first time I figured the poor guy was gunna get hit hard. Ornn was kinda crazy at the time, but all these nerfs are to much.
Cost him everything? I dont really see this as a nerf, it looks like a pretty lateral change, and I think Ornn as a whole got buffed, not nerfed.
Honestly, I'm fine with the shield being removed from his W. But it should have been put on his E when he destroys terrain with it. That way he doesn't have a 1 button win condition like the current version has, but depends on a combo of abilities.
As someone who has mostly laned AGAINST ornn, I thought once they scaled back a bit of the damage on his w and made it so he couldn't non-stop spam it early he was fine. He should have gotten unstoppable back then without any extra cost.
It got a straight buff to the damage though.
I don't mind his unstoppable, but I do think it shouldn't break CC on use.
In other words, if he's snared, he can still breath the fire but he can't move during the duration.
Having both the CC break and Unstoppable warrants such heavy nerfs.
So, saw a Squad5 comment in a thread in the ornnmains subreddit...I don’t think we’re getting true tank Ornn back...not for a long time, if at all.
If by everything you mean just a shield.
