Ornn vs Vladimir

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and avoid extended early duels to survive Vladimir's short trade windows.
Control the lane medium pressure to prevent Vladimir from freely scaling while preparing for impactful teamfights.
This is a control versus teamfight scaling matchup; focus on durable trades and engage potential rather than early kills.

Trading pattern

Trade around (W) brittle application and terrain-enabled (E) knockups for safe poke and crowd control setups.
Punish Vladimir's forced (W) cooldown by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.
Avoid engaging when empowered (Q) is ready; wait for it to expire before committing to trades.

Danger windows

Vladimir is most dangerous when empowered (Q) is available; avoid extended trades during this time.
Be cautious when (R) is up as it amplifies his burst and teamfight threat.
Avoid using (E) knockup without terrain or escape path to prevent being punished by Vladimir's short burst trades.

Early game

Use (Q) to create terrain and threaten (E) knockups only when near walls to avoid overextension.
Avoid fighting extended trades before your first tank item to reduce risk against Vladimir's empowered (Q) burst.
Maintain wave control to deny Vladimir easy access to empowered (Q) trades and force him to use (W) defensively.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for long-range engage when your team can follow up; avoid wasting it without backup.
First tank item spike allows you to absorb trades better; focus on stable brittle trades rather than forced kills.
Respect Vladimir's level 6 (R) burst window and item spikes; avoid fighting grouped or when his cooldowns are up.

Win conditions

Neutralize Vladimir's lane by farming safely and using (Q) terrain setups to threaten (E) knockups.
Scale through your tank items and item upgrades to become a durable frontline and engage threat in teamfights.
Use (R) to initiate fights when your team is ready to follow up and punish Vladimir's limited mobility and cooldown windows.
