This is Ornn's own plan; across 760 pooled games the lane is leaning Ornn.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth of you are weak level 1, but his mounted Q grab and Skaarl aggression edge a genuine coin-flip while you have no shield yet.
Level 2KledHis Q grab and remount skirmishing out-trade you before W is up — concede and farm.
Level 3KledEven at 3, Violent Tendencies gives Kled four massive attack-speed swings on 13s and still wins the straight skirmish.
Levels 4-5KledHis second-point dismount-remount damage out-paces your pre-6 combo; trade with W exhale and don't over-commit E.
Level 6Even / skillR double knock-up plus E-into-Q-pillar stun answers his R engage — bait the dismount and the all-in flips to a coin-flip you can take.
First itemKledHis first-item AD spike and Q grab reclaim the duel before your tank item makes you unkillable.
Two+ itemsOrnnLate, your free Masterwork upgrades and E-Q-R teamfight CC outvalue a fed Kled's single-target shredding — anchor, don't duel.

How to beat Kled as Ornn: the early game

Kled owns the opening levels — his mounted Q grab yanks you in and his Skaarl skirmishing out-trades you before you have any tools, so just farm and eat a little poke at Levels 1-2 like you do into everyone. Don't throw a level-1 E hoping to wall-stun him; he'll dismount and dodge the telegraph, and you'll be stuck on cooldown. Your whole early plan is reaching Level 3: once W (Bellows Breath) is up you get unstoppable percent-HP exhale and a shield that finally lets you take a Q-grab trade and Brittle him back instead of just losing it.
