Vladimir vs Ornn

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving early lane with (Q) sustain and avoid extended fights before scaling.
Vladimir should avoid giving Ornn free durable trades and respect his engage tools.
This is a scaling, teamfight-focused matchup where Vladimir must manage low early agency and scale safely.

Trading pattern

Trade only when empowered (Q) is ready and (W) is available to deny Ornn's follow-up.
Punish (E) knockup cooldown by stepping forward after missed engage attempts.
Avoid extended trades when (W) brittle is active, as it amplifies his damage.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup when near terrain and avoid fighting in those zones.
Be cautious when (W) brittle is active, as Ornn's follow-up damage is increased.
Avoid overextending after using (W), as its long cooldown leaves you vulnerable to Ornn's engage.

Early game

Use short (Q) trades around empowered (Q) to maintain health without forcing (W).
Avoid fighting near terrain to reduce (E) knockup threat.
Keep wave stable to farm safely and prevent Ornn from setting up brittle trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to threaten all-ins or teamfight picks; respect (R) engage and hold defensive tools.
After first AP item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Ornn's cooldowns.
Respect Ornn's first tank item timing by playing for stable waves and avoiding risky fights.

Win conditions

Survive early lane using (Q) sustain and avoid forced (W) usage to maintain cooldowns.
Scale into mid and late game where empowered (Q), (R), and AP items enable strong burst and teamfight impact.
Use (R) to flank and punish grouped enemies, capitalizing on Ornn's predictable engage paths and cooldowns.
