Tips Against Olaf in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Saneryus says “This M.U used to be very olaf favored until you identify what olaf's gameplan is, then it becomes kayle favored. It's the exact same thing as garen and trundle. Just run at you and auto you to death. How do you counter? For olaf specifically, you need Phase Rush since his game plan involves running at you by SLOWING you, NOT by speeding himself up (once he has ult, yes he has speed up). Everytime he tries to run at you, Q > Auto > E and run/evade his Q (axe throw).If your Phase Rush is on CD, make sure not to walk too far forward to get caught by his axe. It's similar to nasus's playstyle, only it becomes kayle favored the moment you hit 6. Phase Rush TP/Flash or Ghost/Flash. If you're good, TP/Flash is all you need. If not, Ghost/Flash. DShield. Q Max for kite”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Level 1 merchant. Play safe until you have level 3. In this match-up you are really dependant of your E and your W in order to avoid the damage he deals. Try to beat him pre-6 to have an easier match-up.”

ObiW says “Respect his Level 1; if he lands continuous axes, he will run you down. Your only kill window is Levels 3-5 with Ignite. Post-6, never try to 1v1 him, as his Ultimate ignores your W stun completely.”
PoEs_tk says “you need to use ur spells properly or he just run you down,rushing cdr is really good , never waste cds when he have enough space to ghost on you”

TENSION019 says “Take Phase Rush, Doran Ring, Ghost, and Ignite. Top lane Olaf players are rare, but they are usually completely crazy. When he uses his ultimate, you can use Phase Rush movement speed or W to wait it out and avoid fighting him. Once his ultimate ends, you can look for a trade. Olaf players often try to proxy farm. When he does that, you can use your R to throw him under your tower and punish him. Just remember to respect him, or he will punish you instead.”

zwartebliksem says “Flash + Ignite Has high all-in potential. If he has ignite, you'll lose level 1. If he doesn't, you can only fight if you hit your Q. Olaf will try to hit his Q onto you, then run you down. But if he misses, he becomes much more vulnerable. After level 6, Olaf can easily run you down with his ultimate. Try to zone him with your E, possibly even your R.”

Inting Briar says “Oh boy... He hits level 6 and no amount of screaming will push him away. Don't let him snowball off of you. Ask jungle for help.”

PoopingInSinks says “Get hit by 1 axe when you're not under tower, lose lane. Not so fun. A good ban option”

TemoOnlyIfOK says “Frequency: 5.5/10 Annoyance: 2/10 Difficulty: 3/10 Summs: FLASH GHOST Runes: SPEED O2: RUSH Strat: PR SWIFTIES PF SWIFTIES PR SWIFTIES PR SWIFTIES are so good versus him, you almost dont need anything else. Careful not to get run down level 1, as its quite hard to proc PR. If he ults, your Q and R are useless, which is why he is a hard match-up statistically. I promise you, PR + SWIFTIES and GHOST for GHOST turns him from hydrogen-bomb to caughing baby. So if nothing else, take this guides advice serious for this match-up. ”
