Yasuo vs Ornn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use high mobility with (Q) and (E) to pressure Ornn and deny his safe scaling lane.
Control minion waves to maintain mobility and avoid giving Ornn terrain setups for his (E) knockup.
This is a snowball vs scaling matchup where Yasuo must punish Ornn's early low agency to prevent his late-game tank power.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) quickly and dash through minions with (E) to trade around Ornn's cooldowns and avoid his (E) knockup threat.
Use (W) to block (Q) poke and brittle application, then commit on knockup windows with your own (Q) tornado.
Punish Ornn when (W) is down or when he uses (E) away from terrain, reducing his crowd control threat.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup when near terrain and avoid overextending near his (Q) pillars.
Be cautious when (W) brittle is active, as it amplifies his follow-up crowd control and damage.
Avoid fighting near (R) long-range engage and keep movement options to dodge the second cast.

Early game

At level 2, use (Q) plus (E) combo aggressively when minions allow to force trades before Ornn builds tank durability.
Avoid extended duels early; use short trades and mobility to chip Ornn down before he completes his first tank item.
Keep the wave on your side to maintain (E) mobility and prevent Ornn from safely setting up (E) knockups on terrain.

Power spikes

At level 2, use unlocked (Q) and (E) combo to trade aggressively and force Ornn to play defensively.
At level 6, track (R) availability and only commit to all-ins with confirmed knockups to maximize kill potential.
After first item, increase wave pressure and trade confidence while respecting Ornn's tankiness and crowd control cooldowns.

Win conditions

Deny Ornn a calm scaling lane by using wave control and aggressive level 2 trades to snowball early.
Use (Q) and (E) mobility to create knockup setups for (R) all-ins, punishing Ornn's limited early agency.
Pressure Ornn before his first tank item and avoid extended fights near terrain to maintain lane dominance and open side-lane pressure opportunities.
