Poppy vs Ornn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by using terrain to threaten (E) wall stuns and hold (W) to deny Ornn's engage dashes.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Ornn from safely scaling into his strong teamfight power while maintaining medium lane pressure and agency.

Trading pattern

Trade around (Q) terrain placement and (W) brittle application by forcing short trades before he applies brittle.
Use (W) reactively to block (E) dash and punish his cooldowns with (E) wall stuns.
Avoid wasting (W) early and only engage when Ornn is near terrain to maximize (E) stun reliability.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is ready near terrain, as it can knock you up and set up follow-up damage.
Respect (W) brittle application which amplifies his damage and crowd control follow-ups.
Avoid fighting when (R) is available on Ornn, as his long-range engage can catch you off guard, especially without your own (R) to respond.

Early game

Focus on short trades using (Q) and passive shield near walls to avoid extended duels.
Hold (W) to counter (E) knockup attempts only when he commits near terrain.
Avoid fighting away from walls where (E) stun threat is minimal and Ornn can trade safely.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to disengage Ornn's long-range engage or isolate targets before objectives.
After first tank item, hold (W) to absorb Ornn's trades and fight near walls to maximize (E) stun threat.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and his durability spike after his first tank item by spacing carefully and avoiding extended trades.

Win conditions

Deny Ornn's scaling by pressuring him early with short trades and punishing his cooldowns near walls.
Use (W) to block Ornn's engage dashes and (E) to stun him against terrain, controlling fights and peeling for your team.
Leverage (R) to disengage or isolate targets in teamfights, disrupting Ornn's engage and enabling your team to capitalize.
