How to win lane as Ornn against Vladimir · 48.46% win rate (2,274 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Build MR — W-brittle his early, bait his pool.
Track: Vladimir's W — Sanguine Pool (28–16s cooldown). Dodges your combo. Bait it.
Read from Ornn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vladimir.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak level 1, but his Q-Transfusion sustains where you're mana-hungry with no combo — deny his last-hits and set up. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | His E poke and Q sustain chip you down while you have only a single ability — he edges the resource war. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Bellows Breath at 12s lets you Brittle him and trade back, but Sanguine Pool and Transfusion keep it even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Pre-Rylai's he still out-pokes and out-sustains your two-point combo, and pool dodges your E-Q engage. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | R double knock-up into E-Q pillar with Brittle bursts him if you bait the pool first — your cleanest window. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Heartsteel/Sunfire spike tanks trades, but his Rylai's slow and ramping AP keep the lane contested. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | Full-AP Vlad pools your E-Q, ignores armor with magic damage, and out-sustains you — let your team handle him. |
Vlad is also a weak level 1, but unlike you he sustains every trade with Q-Transfusion, so don't waste mana chunking him only to watch it heal back. You have no shield or combo until 3, so just farm with Q's tip and accept a little E poke — your big problem is he never runs out of resource while you're mana-starved. Once W (Bellows Breath) is up at 3 you can trade back with unstoppable percent-HP fire and a shield, but respect that he can simply Q-heal it and out-sustain a poke war.
