Viktor vs Ornn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage aiming to outlast Ornn by farming safely and evolving abilities.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Ornn a passive scaling lane without overextending into his engage.
This is a control vs teamfight scaling matchup; Viktor must avoid early all-ins and focus on item progression.

Trading pattern

Trade short with (E) poke and activate (Q) shield, keeping (W) to zone or escape after Ornn commits.
Punish Ornn when he uses (E) away from terrain by stepping forward for quick trades.
Avoid using (W) solely for waveclear to prevent vulnerability to Ornn's counter-engage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is off cooldown near terrain, as it enables knockup and follow-up CC.
Avoid fighting when (W) is down, as Viktor loses crucial zone control and escape tools.
Respect (R) engage potential after level 6; keep spacing and movement ready to dodge the second cast.

Early game

Use (E) and (Q) shield to poke and farm cautiously, avoiding extended trades before level 6.
Keep (W) ready to disengage from (E) knockup attempts near terrain.
Avoid fighting near Ornn's terrain pillars to reduce his (E) threat and brittle follow-up.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to control fights or disengage, respecting (R) engage threat by holding movement options.
After first completed mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure on waves and trades confidently.
Respect Ornn's first tank item spike by playing safer and focusing on controlled poke rather than forced kills.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and evolving all abilities to maximize zone control and teamfight presence.
Use (R) and evolved (E) poke to control space and punish Ornn's overextensions.
Deny Ornn stable scaling by pressuring waves after item spikes while avoiding his engage windows.
