Reworked Ornn’s Passive in LoL Patch 14.11

Passive – Living Forge:

According to a post on League’s subreddit from May 14, Ornn’s primary mechanic, which allows him to craft and upgrade items for himself and his teammates, is being updated.

This new change means that Ornn will be able to upgrade nearly any item, with a few exceptions. The items that cannot be upgraded include Mejai’s Soulstealer, Vigilant Wardstone, Tear items, and all support quest items. The value of each upgraded item will now be set at 1000 gold.

Ornn’s upgrades will still apply to the first item slotted in his inventory, so players need to be mindful of item positioning. If you sell the upgraded item and purchase a new one hoping it will be upgraded, it won’t work. Additionally, the upgraded items will no longer have unique names, which is a departure from the current system.

These new changes to his passive are scheduled to be released in Patch 14.11 on May 30, 2024.
