Your Win Condition
Avoid his W (Bellows Breath) brittle proc. Cancel his R (Ultimate).
General Strategy
High-level Ornn players will Q-spam. Use Ghost to sidestep his W clap damage. When he W's, run to the sides or directly through him (Ghost required) to avoid the final brittle proc. You can cancel his ultimate redirection by E-pulling him while the initial R goat is on its way, before he can hit it back toward you. Ornn gains a gold/stat advantage because he can shop in lane.
Trading Patterns
Ornn aims to Q-W-Auto-E-disengage. Do not get hit by the brittle auto attack. If he saves W to counter your E or R, the battle becomes different.
Wave Management
Be aware that Ornn can shop in lane, potentially putting him 1k gold ahead if you don't recall.
Their Win Condition
Q poke. Proc'ing Brittle with W and Auto Attacks. Using R for CC/ganks. Gaining free stats/sustain from his passive shop.
