Ornn vs Poppy

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and avoid extended duels early to mitigate Poppy's durable trades.
Control the lane around terrain to enable (E) knockups and punish Poppy's wall-dependent engage.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Ornn must scale safely to leverage long-range (R) engage and item upgrades.

Trading pattern

Trade around (Q) terrain and apply brittle with (W) before engaging with (E) knockup for safe short trades.
Punish Poppy when she wastes (W) or is away from walls by threatening (E) knockups and follow-up crowd control.
Avoid extended trades where Poppy's passive shield and (W) can outlast Ornn's damage early.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Poppy holds (W) to block your (E) engage or when near walls where she can stun with (E).
Avoid fighting near terrain if your (E) knockup is not ready or you lack an escape plan.
Watch for (R) knockaway to disrupt your engages or peel allies, especially post level 6.

Early game

Focus on farming safely without overcommitting since early agency is low against Poppy's medium lane pressure.
Use (Q) to create terrain for (E) knockups but avoid using (E) without nearby terrain or escape options.
Respect (W) anti-dash field by not committing dashes near her and avoid giving her easy (E) wall stuns.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to start fights or catch Poppy off-guard when she lacks space to dodge the second cast.
After first tank item, absorb more trades and focus on stable brittle trades rather than forced kills.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway by baiting it before committing to key engages.

Win conditions

Neutralize lane pressure through durable trades and safe brittle applications to reach key item upgrades.
Use (R) to create picks or start teamfights when follow-up is available and Poppy lacks room to dodge.
Prioritize scaling and teamfight presence over risky early all-ins to leverage Ornn's superior late-game engage and upgrades.
