Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Malphite (5.2% pick rate, 8th most popular out of 63 Top champions) versus Ornn (3.5%, 21st place). These two top lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Surprising upset: Despite Malphite's higher tier rating, Ornn wins 58.7% of encounters. This suggests Ornn's kit specifically counters Malphite's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Malphite's impressive 52.5% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Ornn presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Grasp of the Undying + Demolish combination (100.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Sunfire Aegis, Kaenic Rookern, Thornmail, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 41.3% to 72.1% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Malphite's superior farming (6.47 vs 5.75/min, 30th among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.72 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Malphite outputs more damage (800 vs 716/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Malphite maintains better KDA (2.50, 2nd place vs 3rd for Ornn), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Ornn as Malphite (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Malphite deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Ornn has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

An important advantage of Malphite is higher farming statistics (ranked 30th among role champions) (versus 56th for Ornn), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Malphite Top versus Ornn Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Malphite player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Ornn player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    Malphite tips:

    • Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.
    • Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.

    Playing 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.
