Guide to Countering Ornn as Swain

Tips for Playing as Swain against Ornn

While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.

Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.

If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.

Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.

Advice to Win Against Ornn

Try to stay away from walls. Ornn is much less strong if he cannot stun you.

Attack Ornn to keep him from creating items in lane.
