Ornn vs Yorick

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Ornn aims for a stable lane focusing on safe trades and scaling into teamfights rather than early all-ins.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Yorick from freely setting up graves and Maiden for side-lane dominance.
This is a control vs splitpush matchup where Ornn must deny Yorick's splitpush threat by scaling and enabling teamfight engage.

Trading pattern

Trade around (Q) terrain and apply (W) brittle to maximize damage and crowd control impact.
Only use (E) knockup when Yorick is near terrain to ensure the knockup lands.
Punish Yorick when his (E) misses or when Maiden is down, as his pressure and sustain are reduced.

Danger windows

Yorick is most dangerous when his ghouls are ready and (E) marks you, increasing his damage and pressure.
Avoid fighting near (W) cage without an escape plan, as it can trap you and enable his follow-up.
Be cautious after level 6 when Yorick has Maiden alive to pressure towers and force you into unfavorable fights.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using (Q) to create terrain for (E) knockups near walls.
Avoid extended duels before your first tank item to prevent Yorick from punishing your lower durability.
Use (W) to apply brittle on Yorick during short trades, especially when he is marked by (E).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to start fights or punish Yorick's limited escape options, especially when your team can follow up.
Your first tank item spike allows you to absorb Yorick's trades better; play for stable brittle trades instead of risky all-ins.
Respect Yorick's level 6 spike when Maiden is summoned; avoid fighting near his prepared graves and ghouls.

Win conditions

Deny Yorick the chance to set up graves and Maiden by controlling wave position and punishing his setup attempts.
Scale through your tank items and use your layered crowd control to initiate teamfights and pick off overextended targets.
Use (R) engage when your team is ready to follow up, turning the lane pressure into map-wide advantages and objective control.
