Ornn vs Volibear

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Ornn aims for a stable lane focusing on safe brittle trades and terrain setups to control Volibear's early aggression.
Respect Volibear's high early lane pressure and avoid extended duels before tank items.
This is a snowball vs scaling matchup where Ornn must survive early pressure to reach impactful teamfights and item upgrades.

Trading pattern

Trade around your (Q) terrain and apply brittle with (W) to maximize damage and crowd control synergy.
Only use (E) knockup when you have terrain and an escape plan to avoid counter-engage.
Punish Volibear after he uses (Q) or misses (E) by stepping forward for short trades and wave pressure.

Danger windows

Volibear is most dangerous when (Q) is up to force melee contact and stun, especially before you have tank items.
Beware of Volibear's second (W) usage which heals him during extended fights.
After level 6, respect (R) to dive under towers or force committed fights that can punish overextensions.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before your first tank item to minimize Volibear's early damage advantage.
Use (Q) to create terrain pillars and threaten (E) knockups only when near terrain for safe trades.
Focus on farming safely and trading only when (Q) is on cooldown or he cannot follow up with (W).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to start fights or turn ganks when your team can follow up or Volibear lacks space to dodge the second cast.
Your first tank item spike lets you absorb more trades and focus on stable brittle trades rather than forced kills.
Respect Volibear's level 6 (R) dive threat and his first bruiser item durability that enable extended trades and tower dives.

Win conditions

Neutralize lane pressure by using terrain and brittle trades to avoid early snowball and reach your tank item spike.
Use level 6 (R) engage to create teamfight picks and turn lane pressure without walking into melee range first.
Focus on stable scaling and item upgrades to maximize your crowd control impact in grouped fights and late-game teamfights.
