Yorick vs Ornn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yorick aims to pressure Ornn through prepared graves, (E) marks, and Maiden to force side-lane tower damage and deny Ornn a passive scaling lane.
Manage wave control to set up ghouls before engaging and avoid extended fights where Ornn's durable trades and crowd control excel.
This is a splitpush versus scaling tank matchup where Yorick must leverage side pressure to outpace Ornn's teamfight impact.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades only when ghouls are ready and (E) successfully marks Ornn to maximize damage and pressure.
Use (W) to trap Ornn when he is immobile or near your ghouls to force favorable trades and tower pressure.
Avoid fighting without graves or Maiden alive, as Yorick's damage and sustain drop significantly against Ornn's tankiness.

Danger windows

Beware (E) knockup when near terrain, as it can lead to follow-up crowd control and burst.
Avoid extended trades when Ornn has (W) brittle active, increasing his damage and crowd control threat.
After level 6, be cautious of Ornn's long-range (R) engage that can set up ganks or force unfavorable fights.

Early game

Focus on building graves early and avoid fighting without ghouls or (E) marks to prevent losing trades.
Use (Q) to generate graves and sustain while maintaining medium lane pressure without overextending.
Respect (E) knockup threat near terrain and avoid trading when he has (W) brittle up for empowered follow-ups.

Power spikes

At level 6, summon Maiden to increase side-lane pressure and duel power; protect her to force Ornn to respond to splitpush.
Prepare graves before trades to enhance ghouls' damage and pressure on Ornn and his wave.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and his first tank item spike by avoiding extended trades and playing around cooldowns.

Win conditions

Use graves, (E) marks, and Maiden to create sustained side-lane pressure that forces Ornn to answer, opening map pressure.
Trap Ornn with (W) during ghouls' assault to win trades and chip towers, denying his stable scaling.
Maintain Maiden alive and leverage splitpush to force Ornn and his team into reactive positions, securing objectives and map control.
