I feel like because they only up the base stats and not any actives Plus the fact you can only have one in your inventory means that it won't be something you can't compete with. I think it adds an advantage, since your full build, if identical to the opposing team, would be stronger. But I don't think it's so much that you can't counter/will automatically lose.

For instance, a losing team will have more trouble getting the extra gold for the upgrades in the first place. It's definitely something that can help snowball a lead (which is kind of becoming a problem within the meta already but I don't think Ornn's passive will be the real problem), but I think they put a lot of thought into it.

Especially since his kit is more a supportive tank for team fights. His laning is weak, his jungle clear is slow.

Riot seems to be introducing more and more creative kits, which is great, and they seem to be putting a lot thought into making sure it doesn't make a 100% pick or ban. Game changing passives like Iverns, Xayah's, Rakan's, Kayn's have a lot of people screaming OP before it even hits the PBE. But none of them so far have been impossible, or even that hard to counter. Even Rakan (Which is just my opinion for the stronger of the new champs for their rolls) has a lower win rate than an old champ like Janna for the support role.
