Pantheon vs Ornn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane bully tools to deny Ornn safe scaling and force him into uncomfortable trades.
Apply constant pressure to prevent Ornn from reaching his tank item spikes and teamfight power.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (W) stun to lock Ornn down and follow up with empowered (Q) for burst damage.
Use (E) to block Ornn's main retaliatory damage, especially his (Q) and (W) poke.
Avoid using (W) when the wave state doesn't support quick disengage, as Ornn can punish predictable engages.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is down, as Ornn's return damage and crowd control become more threatening.
Respect (E) knockup when near terrain; avoid fighting close to walls or pillars.
After using (W) to engage, be aware of your predictable position and vulnerability to counter-engage or ganks.

Early game

Aggressively trade at level 2-3 using empowered (Q), (W) stun, and (E) damage block to build early health leads.
Avoid extended fights where Ornn can use his (E) knockup around terrain to punish.
Crash waves after winning trades to open roam opportunities or reset safely.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force strong early trades and build lane dominance.
Level 6: Crash waves and use (R) to impact other lanes and extend pressure beyond top.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and his first tank item spike; avoid risky trades when these are up.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane dominance by landing (W) stuns and empowered (Q) bursts to deny Ornn farm and force recalls.
Use wave control to crash and roam with (R) post-level 6, creating cross-map pressure and relieving lane pressure.
Maintain lane control to prevent Ornn from scaling into his tank item power spikes and teamfight impact.
