Mordekaiser vs Ornn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Mordekaiser aims to control the lane through medium pressure and extended trades, denying Ornn a passive scaling lane.
Focus on forcing Ornn into unfavorable extended fights where your passive and (W) shield give you sustain advantage.

Trading pattern

Start trades by threatening or landing (E) to pull Ornn in, then hit isolated (Q) for max damage.
Keep trades extended to benefit from your passive damage and (W) shield healing.
Avoid trades when (E) is missed or Ornn positions near terrain to reduce his (E) knockup threat.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is up near terrain, as he can knock you up and turn trades.
Avoid extended trades without your passive active or (W) shield ready to prevent being punished.
Watch for (R) long-range engage; keep movement options to dodge the second cast and avoid forced fights.

Early game

Use early waves to threaten (E) pulls and zone Ornn, avoiding trades if (E) is on cooldown.
Prioritize hitting level 6 first to unlock (R) isolation and force Ornn into risky duels.
Avoid walking forward without (E) ready to prevent being punished by Ornn's crowd control.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) after landing or threatening (E) to isolate Ornn and force favorable duels.
After your first AP bruiser item, force longer trades where your sustained damage and durability outmatch Ornn.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and his first tank item spike by avoiding all-ins without (E) or (R) advantage.

Win conditions

Use wave control and (E) pull pressure to force extended trades where your passive and (W) sustain dominate.
At level 6, isolate Ornn with (R) to deny his teamfight impact and secure kills or lane priority.
Deny Ornn's scaling by pressuring before his tank item spikes and prevent him from farming safely for late game.
