This is Ornn's own plan; across 1,228 pooled games the lane is leaning Ornn.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou have no shield, no combo and no mana — but Lillia is a squishy skirmisher who also can't kill yet, so it's a wash while you both farm.
Level 2LilliaHer passive DOT and W bounce chip you for free and you still have no W shield to trade back — she owns the level-2 poke window.
Level 3LilliaEven with Q and W up, she just W-bounces and kites with E move speed out of your Brittle range before you can punish.
Levels 4-5LilliaYour E-Q-pillar knock-up is your only engage, but she dodges the telegraph with E and resets the trade with her bounce.
Level 6LilliaYour R double knock-up is real, but her R sleep cancels your combo mid-cast and lets her escape the all-in.
First itemLilliaYour tank item lets you survive her DOT, but it doesn't help you catch her — she E-bounces out of your W range every trade.
Two+ itemsLilliaIn an even-gold game she kites you and your team forever with W slows and area-sleep, and you can't itemize your way to catching her.

How to beat Lillia as Ornn: the early game

Lillia just outranges your whole early game — you have no shield, no combo, and mana problems at Levels 1-2, so don't chase her W bounce into a missed E. Her passive DOT and W will chip you while you last-hit, and that's fine; you cannot punish her until Level 3 when Q and W come online. Don't throw E to engage early — whiffing it leaves you naked while her DOT ticks. Just farm with Q and eat the poke.
