How to win lane as Ornn against Master Yi · 51.13% win rate (266 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Ornn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Master Yi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ornn | Your shielded Brittle trades beat a squishy level-1 Yi — take every exchange he is foolish enough to start. |
| Level 2 | Ornn | Alpha Strike is 20s at rank 1, so once he spends it he is stuck in your E-Q knock-up for the whole window. |
| Level 3 | Ornn | Your armour and shield sustain hold total lane control through 3 — keep him off the wave. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4-5 it turns skill-based — his true damage starts cutting your armour, so the free trades are over. |
| Level 6 | Master Yi | Highlander is 85s and makes him slow-immune — Q's slow does nothing, and only your knock-ups still land. |
| First item | Master Yi | Wuju Style's true damage on a 14s cooldown ignores every point of armour you bought — the grind is lost. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Late his Highlander and true damage out-scale full-tank stats while he splits away from your R — group and peel instead of chasing. |
Front-load the abuse: Brittle trades win levels 1-3 outright, and Alpha Strike is 20s at rank 1 — once he spends it he cannot leave your E-Q. Zone him, chunk him on every wave and get your Living Forge value rolling; the lead you take now is the buffer for a late game that will not be kind.
