Ornn vs Gnar Matchup Summary

The Ornn vs Gnar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 87 recent matches analyzed, Gnar wins with a 55.2% win rate compared to Ornn's 44.8%, giving Gnar a 10.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gnar controls the early laning stage, but Ornn outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gnar needs to press advantages before Ornn reaches their power spikes, while Ornn should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Ornn leads by 907 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Gnar has a strong advantage in this matchup. Ornn players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Gnar overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Gnar dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 64.3% win rate — a 28.6 percentage point lead over Ornn. This lopsided early game means Gnar can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Ornn is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 53.3% win rate — 6.7 points above Gnar. Extended games heavily favor Ornn, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Gnar must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Ornn reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Ornn survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
