Ornn vs Kayle Counter Pick
Matchup Summary

Shared damage type here — mixed for Ornn as well as Kayle. Starting health splits 670 to 660 in Kayle’s favour, with armour at 33 against 26. Early physical trades read in Ornn’s favour thanks to 7 more armour. At full build levels the gap widens to 2513 HP versus 2234, favouring Ornn.

Both champions are melee (Ornn at 175, Kayle at 175), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
A missed Call of the Forge God from Ornn hands Kayle the window to land Celestial Blessing. Then it becomes Call of the Forge God against Divine Judgment, and the one still holding it sets the terms.
