A 2.5% increase in WR from 13.7 to 13.8 out of no where

but but but ... Ornn has very clear counters like uhh Fiora?

He has a positive winrate vs his worst match up

His build seems to be Sunfire vs AD and Abyssal Mask vs AP

Radiant has a higher winrate than Jak'Sho but fewer sample size

What heralded the return of the Forge God to become the soloQ behemoth he is rn?

Since Ornn’s release he had a bug where his knock ups were effected by tenacity- which isn’t supposed to happen. They fixed it last patch which made him skyrocket in winrate.

Yep, we debated if we wanted to nerf him for 13.9 to keep it power neutral, but wanted to verify that the bugfix didn't introduce other bugs. This is kinda one of the hard things about having to lock patches about ~5 days after the previous patch goes live.

But at this stage it does appear that most of the power was adding about ~0.5s of CC or more to his combos. So expect adjustments in 13.10/13.11 if he stays up in the 53s.
