Ornn, the Fire Below the Mountain
"Solitude always meets my expectations." Our latest champion Ornn, the Fire Below the Mountain has hammered his way on the PBE for testing!
"Hello, everyone!
With yesterday's PBE deploy, we've enabled Ornn on the PBE for testing and feedback! We've spent a lot of time trying to burn down our bug count, but there are still a few things to take care of. If you happen to come across something odd during your time playing as, with, or against Ornn, please let us know through the Report a Bug tool with a description of what happened and whatever other information you can provide.
I'll be keeping tabs on these threads throughout the 7.17 PBE cycle. Thanks for all your help and rock on!

Mana Cost: 55/60/65/70/75
Cooldown: 9/8.5/8/7.5/7
[Range]
Ornn slams the ground, creating a fissure which deals 20/50/80/110/140 (+100% total AD) physical damage and slows by 40/45/50/55/60% for 2 seconds. A magma pillar then forms at the fissure's end for 4 seconds.
The fissure stops shortly after hitting an enemy champion.
Bellows Breath (W):
Mana Cost: 45/50/55/60/65
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8
[Range]
Ornn stomps forwards unstoppably, breathing fire and shielding himself for (12% max health) for X seconds. The fire deals up to 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% of the enemy's current health as magic damage (minimum 80/130/180/230/280)
Enemies hit by the final gout of flame become Brittle for 6 seconds. The next immobilizing effect against a Brittle enemy has it's duration increased by 30% and deals [7-16% based on Ornn's level] of their max health as magic damage.
Ornn's basic attacks knock back Brittle targets.
Searing Charge (E):
Mana Cost: 60
Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12
[Range]
Ornn charges, dealing 20/40/60/80/100 (+ 40% armor)(+ 40% mr) physical damage to enemies hit.
If Ornn rams into terrain, the resulting shockwave will deal 40/80/120/160/200 (+40% armor)(+40% mr) physical damage and knock up enemies for 1 second.
The shockwave destroys magma pillars and terrain created by enemy champions.
Call of the Forge God (R):
Mana Cost: 100
Cooldown: 150/115/80
[Range]
Ornn summons a massive lava elemental which stampedes toward him. Enemies run over by the elemental take 125/175/225 magic damage, are slowed by 40/60/80% for 2 seconds and become Brittle for 6 seconds.
Ornn can recast this ability to smash into the elemental to redirect and empower it. The empowered elemental knocks up enemies for 1.5 seconds, deals 125/175/225 magic damage and applies Brittle.

Lore
Here's the short form, in-client version of Ornn's lore:"Ornn is the Freljordian demi-god of forging and craftsmanship. He works in the solitude of a massive smithy, hammered out from the lava caverns beneath the volcano Hearth-Home. There he stokes bubbling cauldrons of molten rock to purify ores and fashion items of unsurpassed quality. When other deities—especially Volibear—walk the earth and meddle in mortal affairs, Ornn arises to put these impetuous beings back in their place, either with his trusty hammer or the fiery power of the mountains themselves."The Lost Tales of Ornn, a short story on Ornn, has already been released.

Context & Notes
BBBBBEEEEEECCCCCCCCCAAAAAUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSEEEEEEEE con-text rocks. con-text rocks.1) Here's Meddler with his quick gameplay thoughts for August 8, covering Azir, Kayn, and more 7.17 balance changes:
"Hi folks,
Usual Disclaimers
These posts will often contain talk about future work we're doing, or planning to do, that isn't yet guaranteed to ship. The nature of the work could change or, depending on what we discover, projects mentioned may get put delayed or even stopped.
If you'd like to see a Tweet whenever a new one of these posts goes up: https://twitter.com/RiotMeddler
Azir
We're still working on the Azir update, with a focus on reducing his ranges to give him more meaningful weaknesses, especially during the laning phase, and then putting power elsewhere. That's looking promising, and still feels very Azir like, though we've got some concern it may not necessarily go far enough. Next step is getting a bunch of really experienced Azir players in to the office for some testing, see what their experiences (and the experiences of people playing against them) are like.
Kayn
There's a change in 7.16 that makes it so that DoTs don't stack Kayn's passive extremely fast, which was allowing him to access his transformation much quicker than intended. That will probably have a minimal effect on jungle Kayn, but might hit lane Kayn pretty hard. If that's the case we'll be going back soon and taking a look at lane Kayn and whether we should be giving him some power in some other way. We've always expected Kayn to be a good pick as a jungler given the way much of his kit works, from what we've seen so far laning Kayn also looks like it might be balanceable alongside jungle as well though. Can't make any promises yet, but going to be digging into that more, especially if the fore mentioned change has a large impact.
7.17 Balance changes
Brief context on a number of upcoming changes. Note there's other stuff as well coming for 7.17 too of course.
- Draven Nerf - Currently looking at the passive, in particular considering more stacks being lost on death (greater difference in performance between a Draven who's cashing those in well and someone who's dying more).
- Hecarim Buff - Testing having the R fear duration scale with distance traveled, rewarding longer and riskier R casts. Something like 0.75-1.5s, rather than the current flat 1s.
- Leona Buff - Trying Sunlight dealing more damage, but having a shorter duration. Leona struggles especially in higher MMR games, so looking at something that rewards good allied coordination. Also looking at a Q CD buff.
- Janna Nerf - Removing overall power and looking to add a bit more skill expression to her kit. At present we're trying higher CDs, with W reducing CDs/restoring mana on champion hit to reward more aggressive/risky use of that. Not yet sure if that'll be the final direction though.
- Zed Buff - Zed's underperforming a bit, with the exception of periods where any of his core items are overtuned. His damage is still pretty solid though, so we're looking at other buffs instead, with a W duration increase (4.5s to 5.0s) currently on the cards.
Ornn's Upgraded Items
Brief note on these. Any team should get some decent value from having Ornn's upgraded items available to them, some combinations of champions will certainly benefit more than others though. That's something we believe's appropriate with Ornn. All champs have synergies with others, and in Ornn's case some of the 'who do I want to pick in combination with Ornn' decision revolves around those upgraded items. We'll likely adjust which exact items get upgraded at various points, and what stats they give, goal isn't to add enough so that every single champ can get a really good choice for themselves though."2) Squad5 has mentioned WOOGLET'S will be added for TT in a future update.
"Oh, just to add - for Ornn's item's we'll be adding in Wooglet's for TT. Not in yet though."
3) ricklessabandon comments on Vayne Q change:
"double W procs on tumble-empowered autos
that's a bug -- will be gone tomorrow"
