Ornn vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Ornn aims for a stable lane focusing on survivable trades and scaling into teamfight engage rather than early kills.
Prioritize controlling wave and terrain to enable (E) knockup and avoid extended duels where Mordekaiser thrives.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Ornn must avoid early snowball and leverage scaling and item upgrades.

Trading pattern

Trade around (Q) terrain and apply brittle with (W) before engaging with (E) knockup to maximize damage and crowd control.
Punish Mordekaiser when he misses (E) pull by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.
Use (R) engage only when your team can follow up or when Mordekaiser lacks space to dodge the second cast.

Danger windows

Mordekaiser is dangerous when (E) lands, setting up (Q) and passive damage; avoid standing isolated or near terrain that aids his pull.
Be cautious during (R) realm isolation, especially if he has health or item advantage.
Vulnerable before your first tank item and when (E) is used without terrain or escape plan, as Mordekaiser can punish hard then.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before your first tank item to minimize Mordekaiser's damage advantage.
Use (Q) to create terrain for safer (E) knockups and poke without overcommitting.
Maintain a stable wave to farm safely and prevent Mordekaiser from forcing isolation or all-ins.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to start fights or turn lane pressure, forcing Mordekaiser to respect your engage and limiting his isolation potential.
After your first tank item, absorb trades better and focus on stable brittle trades rather than forced kills.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) isolation and his first AP bruiser item spike by keeping defensive cooldowns and avoiding extended trades.

Win conditions

Neutralize Mordekaiser's lane pressure with durable trades and terrain control to deny him easy isolation.
Scale through item upgrades and use (R) with team follow-up to create picks and teamfight advantage.
Avoid early all-ins, focus on stable farm, and leverage your crowd control and engage to win grouped fights later.
