Guide to Countering Ornn as Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zilean against Ornn

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

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.
