Sett vs Ornn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Sett should pressure early to deny Ornn his safe scaling and force him into uncomfortable trades.
Control the wave and force Ornn to approach, enabling Sett's grit stacking and (E) stun angles.
This is a snowball versus scale matchup where Sett must leverage early lane dominance to prevent Ornn from reaching his late-game teamfight power.

Trading pattern

Start trades by engaging with autos and (E) to keep Ornn close and set up a centered (W) for max damage and shield.
Avoid wasting (W) when Ornn can sidestep the center or when grit is low to maintain trade effectiveness.
Punish Ornn after he uses (E) away from terrain or when (W) brittle is not active to maximize damage windows.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup when near terrain; avoid clustering near walls to reduce his engage threat.
Be cautious when (W) brittle is active as it amplifies his follow-up damage and crowd control.
After Sett misses (E) or wastes (W), avoid extended trades to prevent counter-engage or poke damage.

Early game

Use early melee trades with autos and (E) to build grit and threaten Ornn before he gets tanky.
Avoid extended fights near terrain to reduce (E) knockup threat.
Punish Ornn's lack of early agency by forcing trades when his (E) is on cooldown or used without terrain.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use (R) to reposition Ornn into unfavorable fights or team skirmishes, forcing his hand.
First bruiser item: Increase durability and trading power to force Ornn into difficult decisions under pressure.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and first tank item spike by maintaining spacing and avoiding terrain setups for his (E).

Win conditions

Win early melee trades by stacking grit and landing centered (W) to deny Ornn safe farming.
Use (R) post-level 6 to force Ornn into bad positioning or initiate favorable brawls.
Apply side-lane pressure to force Ornn into fights or lose farm, denying his scaling and enabling teamfight disruption.
