How to win lane as Pantheon against Ornn · 48.69% win rate over 1,142 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Ornn is one of the weakest level-1s with no dash — my point-and-click W stun into Q wins the opening trade outright. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | My level-2 W+Q all-in only has to beat his slow E knockup, so I can chunk or kill him before he stabilizes. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With all three basics online I can burst him, but his W brittle passive and pillar make this a skill check — even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ornn | The lane tilts to him: he stacks armor and self-forges items while my kill pressure on a tank evaporates. |
| Level 6 | Ornn | Grand Starfall is a roam tool here, not a 1v1 button — Ornn just survives my all-in and outscales the leftover. |
| First item | Ornn | His first-item armor plus Forge passive means my Q poke and W burst stop threatening his health bar. |
| Two+ items | Ornn | Itemized Ornn with Thornmail and his R double-knockup hard-counters me — my burst does nothing and I get chain-CC'd. |
Ornn has no dash and a weak level 1, so I own the opening: lead with W-stun into a tapped Q reset, or hold-aim Q for poke he can't trade back with at range. At level 2 my W+Q all-in is genuinely scary because he can only answer with a slow E knockup. The catch is his W passive — once he's "brittle" his pillar and E hit harder, so don't dive face-first into his pillar; bait it with my E block first.
