Ornn vs Yone Counter Pick

A record of 1,664 games on patch 16.13.1 leaves little room for doubt, and it is not kind to the tank: Ornn wins 46.6%.

Yone is listed as a physical damage champion, but Way of the Hunter converts every second attack into magic damage and raises his critical strike chance, so a single resistance never covers him. Against a defence built on stacking both — 33 armour and 32 magic resist at level 1, 121.4 armour by 18, plus whatever Living Forge adds to each purchase — split damage is the worst profile to face. Other factors:

• Yone spends Flow rather than mana, so pushing him out of resource is not an available plan.
• Both attack from 175 and share 33 base armour, but Yone moves at 345 to Ornn’s 335 and gains more speed from Soul Unbound.
• Mortal Steel stacks Gathering Storm on hit and dashes him forward at two stacks, so spacing resets constantly.
• Spirit Cleave shields on cast and scales that shield with the number of champions hit, blunting long trades.
• Fate Sealed blinks behind the last champion in a line and pulls everyone hit forward, which armour does not address.

Ornn keeps 660 base health to 620 and 2,513 at level 18 against 2,405, and rates 5 for difficulty against 8 for Yone — that gap is where the openings come from.
