Tips Against Olaf in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Paccu says “Ult Prevents yours, runs you down with axes, have to play carefully around his kit”
SesaPrime says “I love Olaf! He was my primary top laner long before I grabbed hold of Camille! I saw him go into the jungle for sometime, & then he started popping up in top lane. He even got a tune up in his kit?! Ok, I hope I don't see you too much here my guy. Take care!”
primate nefasto says “he has a strong early, fight at 6, pre 6 he will sustain all your damage. A key to success in this match up is to not use early your W, wait until he es low HP because there he is gonna be really strong and then you can dodge and make time for CD of your E and Q while you are invisible. If you are ahead you should win easily mid and late game.”
Vixylafoen says “Like Tryndamere except he has a ranged ability, but can actually be killed. Try your best to avoid his Q, since you can outpoke him if you can”
Reines Kokosfett says “You both deal tons of damage early, but you win burst trade and he has no way of chasing you, if you E out. With your Q burst and antiheal you can brust him if he is low.”
lorensj81 says “Really hard matchup. You can get early push if you dodges his axes (Q), be careful if he hits them since cooldown is reset when he picks them up as he slows you and can run you down.”
stefanko says “Force trades level 1, you hard win, you dont have to use your e instantly, if Olaf wants to go for all in. Later on when you go for all ins, save your e for when Olaf gets low. (lethal tempo)”
ElMonumento says “Do not try to trade him at lvl 1 if he has letali tempo, unless you know how to beat him, when he reaches lvl 6, stay away from him because Olaf will depend on hitting you to increase the duration of his R, without hitting his R hard 3 seconds.
”
Zeffie says “Olaf is typically a counter to Sej but since he lost popularity and even still after his mini rework he isn't much of a threat unless he ults, good to have Q to get away and wait out the timer then flip it on him”
PraefectusMace says “Awful matchup. Axe spamming, lifesteal, attack speed...it isn't an easy fight at all. And once he hits level 6 he has CC immunity. It is a lane you will need help with.”
dzsama says “Don't let him get too many E's on to you as it deals true damage. He also gets more attackspeed the lower his HP gets so be careful of that. If he misses his Q and throws it far away from himself then you can try to fight him as he misses a lot of his damage without his axe spam. After 6 he can avoid your stun and keep running at you if he keeps hitting you so be careful for that. Just remember to not get baited by him being low HP since his W gives him a shield that can make a difference in a fight.”
Phantom_Ashes says “Levels 1-5 this matchup really isn't that bad, but at 6 he stomps you. Your R is useless and you can't fear him. Farm up and hope you can do something later.”
GannicusTTV says “Olaf is really hard at lvl 1. Respect his lvl 1, and dodge his axe throw, or even give up some cs if he is harassing you. if he lands his Q he can run you down early. wait patiently for lvl 3 and look for Taunting and short trades out. with your passive and W you should win most trades and run away without any problem if you are freezing your wave near your tower. I recommend ignite to deny him healing, if you do it correctly 2, 3 times you should be able to kill him. At lvl 6 he does a lot more damage and can break your stun, do not fight him mid lane or near his tower. And only R if you have a good wave spot or he can take down your tower really fast.”
Puyi says “You can dodge an axe with your E, but that's pretty much it. You can never duel him, and his ult negates your entire kit. Play safe and farm, you outscale him. ”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Blade/Cloth Armor.
Ghost+Teleport or Ghost+Exhaust or Ghost+Ignite.
DO NOT FIGHT HIM ON THE FIRST LEVELS. Olaf is a VERY strong laner who sweeps Gwen off the board. Rush Tabi and Bramble Vest. 1v1 with Olaf is virtually impossible due to the amount of damage and healing this champion has. You outscale it when you have the first 2 items. Before buying them, I recommend not to compete with him.
”
JustSad42 says “This is a pretty easy matchup where you beat Olaf at all stages in the game. Olaf has high mana costs, and he can only kill you if you try to fight him in his wave or he has aggressive summoner spells instead of TP. Ideally, you want to stand away from your wave so Olaf has to choose whether to Q the wave to push or try to Q you for damage. If Olaf ever tries to Q long range and misses, you want to immediately force on him since his Q cooldown will be very long. After level 6, you want to R Olaf and spend most of your time kiting him instead of trying to fight him auto attack for auto attack. You should only use your W once his R ends or if you think he will use Q-E on you at the same time.”
Night Guy says “You should always be careful when laning against an Olaf. You can win early but he can easily turn the tables around at 6 so do not underestimate him at any point. Respect him after 6 and when he uses his ulti just E to a minion to make the dash larger so he will waste his ulti then fight him.”
TheHellKing says “Easy pre 6, be careful of being run down after. Conq for this. Keep your passive up and don't get hit by his Q. No point in ulting since his ult will just remove it.”
SrMolinv says “Not hard, not easy. Riven wins early. Make a good use of ignite in this matchup too. In this matchup you can go HP in runes BUT that means be careful with trades until level 4-5. Ignite when under 50% of HP or 60. This lane is playing around his Q, whoever pokes the other more later gets run down”
SuperPlaysHD says “Your ultimate is useless agaisnt him, you cant win 1v1 neither 1v2. Try to look for good trades and kill him with jungler before he is lvl6.”
Der Bestimmer says “You can't CC him and therefore can't stop him to stick to you with his Ult and regerate with his AAs.
Try to keep him low and Zone him pre 6.”
BoilTheOil says “At level 1 just walk at him with W and beat the shit out of him, if he tries to fight back he loses. You win this matchup insanely hard before level 6 so try to get a lead before then, you win every trade/engagement so fight as much as you can. After he gets to level 6 don't use R on him unless his R is down, you can still stat check him pretty hard unless he's ahead of you. ”
Antisocial_Renekton says “OG counterpick.
Dblade start, rush tabi, chainsword 1st item.
NEVER EXTEND TRADES OR TRADE WITHOUT YOUR COOLDOWNS.
DONT WASTE Q FOR FUN LVL 1.
DONT GET BAITED BY HIS LOW HP.
Try your best to kill him in window of lvl 3-5.
PAST 6 KEEP YOUR E TO DISENGAGE, WHEN HE POPS R.”
RandumPersin says “Take pta and ignite here. Respect his level 1 stupidity with the axes and passive and you should flat-out win trades from level 3 onwards. Olaf is pretty immobile, so our E really shines during the early laning phase as a completely unbeatable tool at our disposal. With ignite, early heal cut isn't necessary, so build BotRK first to shred this guy. Even while Olaf is ulted, if our W breaks his W shield while fighting we will absolutely one-shot him. This is another similar matchup to Darius in the laning phase - don't be aggressive with E, only take what he gives you, and the matchup should be pretty favorable for us overall.”
LeyzeHP says “(Top) Rengar doesn't like him as for Darius, they both slows you and prevent you from leaping, especially this guy who only charges you all the time, he wins until you have 2 items, the ideal is to play conqueror with BORK and Divine Sunderer, ask your jungler for help and get the lead.”
Smudey says “Don't fight him lvl 1-2 or he runs you down with his axe slow and his AA + passive. You can try to go for short trades 3-5, but if he punishes you for it and tries to force an all-in, just stay back, take TP and play for Ults (or ask your jungler for help). Never taunt into him unless he actually has no HP and you can kill him off of this taunt.”
Fizzy says “Top laner, I got some in the top they are really problematic both in the early game and in the late game, you can have the Q that breaks your armor, and your true damage in And so avoid fights that stretch too much he will take advantage of that
As a jungle you will have some problems in the gank part, even more with lvl 6 ignoring your stun”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “You can dominate him pre6 if u manage to zone him from minions and constantly poke him. Without minions he cant use his lifesteal and he is pretty squishy early. After 6 the problem starts, as you need to be very carefull and never go too far from your tower. Dont take long fights, go to melee range only if he is low or you want to passive him and run away. If he has ult orange his first axe and dont come close before you Wcd ends. He is very snowbally, if you give him one kill and he knows what is he doing your laning phase is done.”
hamgi says “olaf used to be even, but with his recent buffs, he is a pretty tough matchup for yone. his q reduces armor and slows, which is really annoying as u dont have a tenacity rune nor swifties to handle the slow. his w gives him a shield, which can be frustrating when he's 1 hp and all u need is 1 aa/q and he pops it and u die instead. his e deals a lot of damage, especially when paired with his q (assuming he didnt miss). he can pick up his axe and re-throw it, so try not to let him just casually take it. he is a mana champ, so use that to ur advantage. try to q3 + r him before he pops ult because one or the other or even both will be useless against him and u wont be able to dish out as much damage as possible, and u could potentially die. u outscale, so dont let him get ahead. play smart and dodge his q's. if he then uses w or e on minions, that is ur time to trade”
Potent213 says “Recommend: Conq
This matchup is favorable for Fiora, although you need to play it in a specific way.
Olaf is somewhat similar to Darius in the way that he can chase you down really hard so you need to becareful when trading him.
Olaf has pretty short range so you can abuse front vitals and go for Q poke, you should constantly look to reset back vitals.
You want to poke him down until he is low enough to where you can win an all in.
Ignite is very helpful in this matchup, try to kite him out don't go for auto attack fights, Q vitals kite around and go for the next vital.
After level 6, you wanna go with the same plan, but you don't need to poke as much as your R damage + healing is enough to compensate for his strong dueling.
BUT NEVER FIGHT HIM STRAIGHT UP, olaf is scary in a fist fight.”
spaghalli says “Pre-6, bully the hell out of him, contesting CS and harassing him. Play around his ult, as it's a direct counter to all your beloved CC. When he jumps on you and ults, W yourself for the bonus movement speed and run away so he can't attack you and wait until his ult ends.”
StingingChicken says “Be really careful to not let him land a Q level 1, he can pop ghost and run you down. Poke and take short trades, all he can do is all in. ”
AdventurousBoldJourney says “This guy hurts. A lot. He will ignore your CC, Ghost past your W, and make you cry to Mama. You need to roll him before 6 in order to have a good chance of snowballing on him before he does the same to you. ”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “u need to match ghost ignite, if not u need to rush bramble insta or exec depends on enemy comp. try to E him before he uses R since otherwise ur E wont have a usage u need to kite him and try to predict when&where he throws his axes”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Olaf is incredibly strong in the early game: especially at level 1. Avoid fighting him at all costs as he will beat you if he’s able to land multiple Q’s. If Olaf throws his Q and it’s close to you, try your best to zone him away from the thrown axes so he is unable to pick them up. Keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map to reduce his ability to all-in you and chase you down.”

kajinator says “Olaf's ultimate is useless into Garen since Garen has no form of hard CC. That being said his damage his still very high and needs to be respected. If you get hit by a stray Q in lane you can cleanse it with your Q and go for. a good trade with Phase Rush and Flash + Ignite.”

SrMolinv says “No es ni complicado ni facil, depende del Olaf. Riven gana en early pero conforme Olaf pilla armadura gana el, esquivar las Q's cuando puedas y intentar tanquear su E con tu escudo. Guarda el ignite para cuando este a menos del 50% de vida o si se te acaba el ignite se curara. Vida por nivel en runas en este matchup esta bien.”

CupcakeDinosaur says “Olaf is a huge pain to deal with since he deals lots of damage and has lots of life steal and healing, take ignite and fight level 3 or 4 to have the best chance at winning or fight with your jungler”
TriggerDinger says “Olaf is currently strong against anyone.Playing against him is easy but when he hits level 6 it turns into a nightmare.You have to play very carefully beacause one mistake will lead you to death.”
Mr Byars says “Same as urgot, wait for your jungler and don't even think about walking up to lane in lvl 1 without seeing him because he will just Q you from the bushes and either kill you, burn your flash or take half of your hp. Focus on dodging his Q's and farm under tower, after lvl 6 if you think you're ahead all in him, you probably not going to be able to kill him but you'll have a chance to cs”

Justin108 says “Olaf will be a horror of a laning phase. You will never be able to kill him or contest objectives in most cases but there's a chance that you will outscale him if you play correctly macro-wise.”
Duwiiton says “His ult negates most of your toolkit's utility. If you can dodge though, you can win short-trades in lane using E and W before disengaging with Q.”
Oogaboogaga says “Garens kit is perfect into olaf, he loves being low hp and garen loves hp targets. Ult him in team fights and survive lane if top to win game. If jungle be very careful and watch for invades”
Kocykek says “Olaf is a difficult champion to deal with. His rework made him even stronger at dueling. Beware of his early cheese with Q. Dodge his axes if possible. Take short trades. Try to escape from his R if he will activate it like Heroic Charge the minion. Try to get Sheen first and then Divine Sunderer. Then you can fight him.

Racz says “Olaf is pretty strong this patch, dodge his Q's or passive shield it, if it hits he slows you. W when he W's. Don't try to E him when he's in ult!!!”
Thrandor says “Now this is interesting. You are kind of the same champ as Olaf! YOU WIN pre 6 fights if he decides to go for a direct 1v1. However, running is not a bad idea as long as his W shield is up... once he hits 6, things become a way more difficult. I recommend ulting away when he activates his ult- it is worth it as he can just auto throughout your ult and basically outdamage you!”
CosmicTurtle88 says “Insane 1v1 champ but you're stronger, don't take long fights 1-2 with his Conqueror, wait until 4-5+ to take longer fights. Once he's thrown an axe you can eat him and spit him away from
it, then slow him. This will significantly lower his dps. His ult 1v1 is crazy because you can't stun him but get Bramble and you should be fine ”
tacowo_ says “Tabis->Warden's Mail->Bramble Vest. Watch him deal zero damage. Watch in real time as the Olaf player's singular brain cell undergoes mitosis. Olaf player remembers he can hit the E key and deal true damage. Die under turret. Repeat. ”
Polkadog says “Not enough matches to be sure how dangerous Olaf is but Olaf is Olaf. Just avoid him altogether and you'll have a more pleasant experience playing League.”
Yiphen says “Jungle Diff, Doran's Shield. His entire kit is built around running at people and not dying at low HP, except your Q is a dash and your E is an execute. His only poke is his Q, and if he uses it to hit you then he misses CS. It also lowkey heals you since the cooldown gives you Second Wind + Doran's Shield value. He's just free Grasp Procs. Freeze wave in front of tower. Dance.”
Maxpiku says “Сложновато. Топоры это просто ужас, и его R полностью, контрит наши механики. Советую собрать побольше брони(можно выйти в ледяное сердце или в жоню) ,часики чтобы переждать его R и хилорез по понятным причинам.”
fodlybod says “Annoying, but you dodge his qs early and he will be no threat. If you don't kill him early or lose early you buy anathemas and hope for the best.”
Taiquyorah says “MU difficile car il a plus de sustain, bcp de dégats et peut vous rundown s'il vous touche avec un Q et son R + gosht.
Farmer tranquillement et garder vos HP pour l'empêcher de vous dive.
S'il vous touche avec un Q, utilisez votre W instantanément pour toujours garder une distance avec lui.
Vous serez plus utile en teamfight plus tard dans la game.
Build bruiser/crit conseillé pour ne pas se faire dive en boucle.”
Lost Chapter says “Perma ban. Worse than irelia. You do not win at any stages of the game. Olaf was just made into a monster which I do not enjoy playing against.”
NegativePhoenix says “Pretty common toplane choice lately after his rework. Just be cautious of his Q as he can slow you with it, shred armor now and can spam it if he picks up his axe again. Respect the early 1v1s and take ignite since he can easily lifesteal everything back the lower he is. Poke him down and execute him quickly before he can get everything back, and get bramble early. Late game is basically the same as lane phase, just make sure you ignite him if he chooses to attack you so he has no lifesteal power and just dies.”
NegativePhoenix says “Grievous. Easily. Doesn't matter who else is on their team if he's on it take grievous. He'll win early 1v1s. Mid-Late game is skilled-ish. If he ults, try to kite him out until it ends so he doesn't have extra damage anymore. Besides that if you can manage to burst him down faster than he can auto you should win. Just watch out for his W shield.”
HelloStranger says “CONQ | Flash/Exhaust + Ignite
New rework Olaf is absolute bullshit. You never win ever. Consider asking for jungle help because now this champ is bad early and good/OP late. Go Figure :?”
kurbart says “Olaf aka keep that man away from me
======================================
hes a colossal issue the fact he can run you down and also has built in mr and sustain makes him hard to beat but wait there's more ..... his ult makes him immune to alll!!!!! cc for a few seconds. But after that he's not invincible keep your distance farm from afar dodge his axe throws you should be fine but respect him. ”
xXMMGGMMXx says “I ban Darius and dodge Olaf top. Olaf top is disgusting and he out damages, out heals and you can't CC him.
Not many Olaf top users in league though. Honestly just dodge it.”
JORGE OMAGO 74 says “MAJOR BECAUSE LANE IT'S HARD AS **** HIS E GET THROUGH YOUR E AND IF YOU JUMP ON HIM HE'L JUST KITE YOU WITH YOUR Q.
JUST OUTSCALE BE AWARE OF DIVES”
powerfullgeo says “You want him to be low health so you can kill him and he wants to be low health so he can auto attack you faster than the speed of light. Probably exhaust is great here but i haven't encountered any Olaf top to even test this.”
Federals1 says “Have not seen an Olaf top in a very long time, but I decided to put it anyway. He wins levels 1 and 2, then you beat him 3-5, and then he beats you at 6. He can cleanse your q stun and anihilate you with his damage. Your best choice is to try to survive if he ults you. In the late game he is not longer that big of a threat, and can be 1v1'd regardless of build. He cannot kill you fast enough before his ult timer runs out, at which point you can run him down.”
PandoraPanda14 says “U never see Olaf top but he is pretty easy to beat top. Ur all in beats him, you should just punish him hard for csing melee so he is force to cs with q care jg ganks”
Raen says “Try to predict and make a side ste for his Q, then fight him. Get antiheal. Dont try to recast ur E while hes on R, just keep ur E for whole duration. Olaf is the strongest while on low hp so be carefull when ur tryin to fight him when ur on low hp as well.”
Helzky says “Olaf isn't a problem and you can kill him when you have level 6. Make sure you're CSing better than him and poking with E, don't let him get ahead in any way.”
havy says “Olaf's W sustain is dumb, hope he makes mistakes so you can burst him down, also dodge his Q, and watch out for the true damage on his E, keep in mind your Q and E won't slow him when he has ult, so just stay on your tower if he rushes up to you”
Your Desired Username says “Hard match-up. Rush steelcaps and bramble. Respect his early game, otherwise you will die. Seriously, if you ever walk up to the minions and they are slightly behind the center line of lane, he will just chuck Q's at you and run you down without any counterplay. Sadly this doesn't change after level 6 because he can just ult at the beginning of the fight and you won't be able to ult him. If at any point you realize that he may engage into an all-in in the next few moments, ULT him immediately. If he gets to ult before you, he has it for the rest of the fight, as it refreshes with every auto-attack, meaning you never get to ult him, meaning you lose. If you do, however, get your ult out before him, he can cleanse it with ult but you will still keep the stats for 7 seconds. If he does not ult at the beginning and mistakenly waits for you to ult him so he can respond with his own in order to cleanse it, just ult him. Even if he does cleanse your ult with his, you will still keep the stats you stole for the 7 seconds, so effectively nothing really happened, except if he was meaning to run away, in which case it was the right choice of him. Obviously you shouldn't ult him in teamfights because he will just cleanse it. Olaf is a very early/mid game centered champion, after which he just falls off a cliff.”
Shinox says “He out damages you no matter what and you can't run away from him in mini Gnar. You scale but he denies you. He invades/ganks you and you are dead. Don't feed him or gg.”
AnEx1stingBeing says “Again, rush Bramble vest vs Olaf. Its best to play safe against Olaf due to his incredible early game, and his ultimate will get rid of yours, so only engage if he doesn't have his ultimate.”
ToothlessKnight says “Very strong lane bully. He will run you down if he lands his Axes. rush a bramble as this hard counters Olafs healing and he relies on auto attacks to win. His Ult also makes him unstoppable countering your Ult and E. Play to scale as you dominate Olaf mid and late game. ”
Anoying bro5 says “Do not fight him until lvl 3. You want to parry his lightning attack which is pretty fast which they usually use after one aa. If you land parry you win the trade. When Olaf ults, your riposte does not slow or lower attack speed so it is best to run if you cant kill him quickly. You out scale so if you are struggling, sit back and farm under tower.”
Stinkee says “Olaf is an insane early game champion. He will constantly throw axes at you and try to all in you at level 2-3.
Once he is level 6 it gets even worse when he ults and is immune to all of your CC making you near useless.
If you can survive laning phase you will scale better. Take Grasp and get armor and health items and max Q or W.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Olaf can clear relatively quickly and have the utility in his (R) to run you or your allies down, despite using your (R) and can also avoid your (Q) with his thunder strike. Overall respect him or die.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Undertow(Q) or Axe. Try to avoid going near his Axe on the ground or path towards it because if he picks it up it refreshes his Undertow. Reckless Swing(E) deals true damage, but also damages him try to take advantage of that in a trade. Use Ignite or Insanity Potion to counter his Vicious Strikes(W). Save Fling until his Ragnarok(R) is down. (Fling does not work under Ragnarok) (Mega Adhesive does not work under Ragnarok) (Outscaling Edge: Singed) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Olaf) ”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Olaf is extremely powerful, so I suggest you grab a bramble vest first and then rush Shieldbow after. If you survive his ult, you should be able to kill him.”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Olaf kind of just runs at you and kills you and there's not much you can do about it. Unplayable lane after lvl 6 and you should dodge.”
quinn adc says “Seems like an impossible matchup post 6, but I classify it as medium if you run phase rush.
First, make sure to side step Olaf's Qs in lane with your harrier procs. If he lands a Q on you and tries running you down, Auto E Auto combo him to proc phase rush and run away.
This keystone provides move speed along with 75% slow resistance, so if Olaf is chasing you down and lands Qs on you, phase rush counters the slow from his axes.
The matchup pre 6 is heavily quinn favoured, so side step his axes and then play the matchup as any other melee matchup, which is be aggressive when olaf misses Q.
He has no gap closers without it, so you can hard trade him.
If you are getting in an intense 1v1 with him, ignite kinda earlier to apply griev wounds to mitigate his W heal and conq heal, and also to proc nimbus cloak from your runes to grant you extra MS.
Now, post 6 Olaf DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT vault olaf while his R is active. If you are extremely low and have no choice, then that is the only time you should vault him when his R is active. The reason you don't is becasue R grants him slow immunity, and so your E will not slow NOR knock olaf back, and that is a critical part about Quinn's vault ability.
How to win post 6 olaf is, when he activates R, instantly proc phase rush by either auto auto auto, OR Auto - Q - Auto. By procing PR, you have slow resistance and insane MS to make his Qs unable to slow you, and enough move speed to out run olaf in his R ability.
Side step the axes if you can, and focus on trying to just run away by procing harriers from passive or q when you can.
NOW, when his 6 second R ends, IMMEDIATELY use vault on olaf, and then re-engage on him because he will have no gap closer without his ult :)
I rush bork here, so you should also save bork active for after his R expires to apply a slow on him. Practice makes perfect for this matchup, but post 6 is actually not bad with phase rush! Just save that E boys until his R expires always.”
PH45 says “Don't let him get too many E's on to you as it deals true damage. He also gets more attackspeed the lower his HP gets so be careful of that. If he misses his Q and throws it far away from himself then you can try to fight him as he misses a lot of his damage without his axe spam. After 6 he can avoid your stun and keep running at you if he keeps hitting you so be careful for that. Just remember to not get baited by him being low HP since his W gives him a shield that can make a difference in a fight.”
iZeal says “Pre 6 you can poke him down without him being able to do much unless you are overextended. Try not to burst him down to low hp but instead use your Q3 to kill him so he cannot abuse his passive and W to lifesteal. After 6 you have to respect his ultimate since you can't CC him during it. When he doesn't have it up, he is a sitting duck to your combos though.”
MrDomian says “He can avoid your R with his R.
You can hit him, but don't go into long trades.
Enter when he is low on health and you have all the skills.”
slogdog says “Olaf can run you down in a long lane so be very wary of that. But he has no mobility and is still heavily reliant on landing Q's. Use W smart and kite in and out with ghouls and R to kill him.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Undertow(Q) or Axe. Try to avoid going near his Axe on the ground or path towards it because if he picks it up it refreshes his Undertow. Reckless Swing(E) deals true damage, but also damages him try to take advantage of that in a trade. Use Ignite or buy Thornmail to counter his Vicious Strikes(W). Save Infected Bonesaw until his Ragnarok(R) is down. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Olaf) (Recommended Items: Thornmail) (Outscaling Edge: Dr.Mundo)”
MagicallyDelish4 says “If he misses his Q level 1 you win the all in. Post 6 you can try to fast combo him to kill him but walk away if he uses his ulti. Use E or Qs so he doesn't run you down. ”
Xerath gaming says “No one plays olaf on top, atleast I don't see it to happen. but if u fight him on top you can't really do anything against him. He beats you in laning phase and mid game since his ult cancels yours, in late game he shouldn't be a problem. Take ignite ”
Justkb says “This can be difficult if you allow him to get free trades off early. You have much better range, which means you can poke him down with E, Q, W at level 3, just don't make sure you are pushed as his Q and gap close will become a problem for you. I would recommend rushing phage and poking with Q, using the movement speed to avoid his Axe’s, while also ensuring the wave doesn’t permanently push. Once you Hit level 6 with Sheen and Plated you can look to fight him if you can bait out his W.”
SaltCat says “Level 1 you win with passive, level 2 also, level 3 you lose , play passive and get grevious wounds, after level 6 you can easily kill him”
LoLReal says “One of the few champions that can trade with us level 1 and win. Respect Olaf's early game and we will be stronger mid + late game.
This is mostly a skill match up. Play smart and don't overcommit.”
laoshin3v3 says “Conqueror
Be very careful if he is low life since he is a lot stronger. You can kill him pre 6 since you can slow his attack speed and best case scenario even parry Q or E. After lvl6 the matchup gets a little harder but you outscale hard.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Undertow(Q) or Axe. Try to avoid going near his Axe on the ground or path towards it because if he picks it up it refreshes his Undertow. Reckless Swing(E) deals true damage, but also damages him try to take advantage of that in a trade. Use Ignite or buy Thornmail to counter his Vicious Strikes(W). Save Pillar of Ice until his Ragnarok(R) is down. (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Olaf) (Recommended Items: Thornmail) (Outscaling Edge: Trundle)”
Fan22 says “Olaf its one of the worst champs to deal as maokai (and probably a very good Ban), after he uses his R theres literally Nothing you can do to stop him from running down your team, which lets you useless in Teamfights, as you cannot do something to help your allies meanwhile they are being chased by Olaf.
I recommend rushing bramble vest and asking your jungler for ganks to Olaf pre-6, after 6 its complicated to do something against him, but if your jungler it's ok and you arent too behind he should be killable.
As i said before Olaf counters you really hard as he has a better early and also has true damage and can become Unstopable with his Ultimate, even in the late game he will still be a pain the ass.
To win try to TP or roam to other lanes to get your team ahead, or to get a dragon and hopefully beat Olaf late game, end the game as soon as you can and get advantages everywhere in the map.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Undertow(Q) or Axe. Try to avoid going near his Axe on the ground or path towards it because if he picks it up it refreshes his Undertow.

Sporkintahn says “DANGEROUS!!! --- Not many Olaf tops around but I see it occasionally. DO NOT FIGHT HIM LEVELS 1 or 2.--- Like you he thrives in extended trades as he deals more damage the lower HP he is due to his passive increasing his AS the lower he is. He also has Lifesteal from his W so he can heal up quite a bit. --- Just make smart trades, avoid his Axe (Q) harass and at level 6 you can All-In him. --- Build Steelcaps and Bramblevest. --- Once he gets Goredrinker you may not be able to fight him anymore unless you're ahead and have a heal cut. It is absolutely busted on him at the moment.”

TroviStyle says “[Conqueror] You wont win the lane unless he makes mistakes, so play it safe and wait for lategame, as you outscale him super hard at some point. If u want to take a lot of fights go for executioners”
SilverAvalanche says “If you can dodge his axes with your Q, you will be relatively safe if you are on his side of the lane, but that changes when you hit level 6. At that point he will gain an ult that grants MS and damage.
”
duckling213 says “I see this being a skill matchup with us having a small advantage lvl 1-3 still need to play this matchup a bit more, I rolled the olaf I played against but I got some help from jg early and got a lead. I recommend rushing bramble into steel caps and you will be really tanky against him. I will be updating this as I play against more olafs.”
Drake6401 says “Goes well against your burst trade style because his Q and ult are perfect tools for chasing. Try to get a lead before level 6 and chose your fights wisely after. If you use your full combo and then he ults after you, there's not much you can do to stop him. Make sure to avoid using your dash too much post six so you have some kite power.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP. DON’T FIGHT HIM BEFORE LEVEL 3. KITE HIM TO HAVE HOPE OF BEATING HIM EARLY. DON’T LET HIM HIT YOU WITH HIS AXES. BE CAREFUL WHEN FIGHTING HIM LEVEL 6. STEELCAPS’S ARE MANDATORY.
You do NOT want to fight Olaf early on. Once he hits one of his axes, you are legit fucked as the slow allows him to catch up and land another one. Try to play safe until you get both of your CC abilities. Basically, wait till level 3. At that point, you have the CC to stop him from moving and getting his axes which allows you to kite him properly. And if you can properly kite out an Olaf, there is essentially nothing he can do. Try not to die to Olaf. Remember that Olaf falls off super hard so if he LOSES lane, his team essentially has no toplaner. Try to dodge his axes. In all honesty, if you are patient you will win this lane. Try to be careful as he spikes extra hard in level 6. You no longer will be able to kite him out with JUST your CC. You HAVE to dodge his Axes AND have Ghost. Try to kill him when he is low as Olaf is great at healing in crucial moments. His DPS is also highest when he is low. In terms of runes, I’d recommend Bone Plating and Conqueror. Phase rush is somewhat helpful for when you want to disengage but Conqueror helps you just out fight him. Steelcaps are great as usual.”
Chease says “His passive combined with heal makes him almoste imposible to kill early, so hold your W till his low enough then execute him with it. After six watch out for his R, if he dodges your W u are most likely dead or at least he hard wins trade.”
Amvill says “Don't build Rylias against him since his ult can negate its effects. This only applies to olaf top. His all in is equal to that of a Tryndamere with ghost so be carful.”
The Real Fake says “You can't ever fight him early (before first back), you may be able to fight him after your first clear/back if you go Red Smite & Ignite. He is stronger than you in 1v1s, but you have much better ganks , faster clears, split push, and mobility. Recommended to Red Smite & Ignite, or utilize Phase Rush to avoid him. Against a good jungler, this can be an impossible matchup if they choke you out of your own jungle.”
Rhoku says “SUPER hard matchup. He outdamages you, he avoids your ultimate, he is better than you for 90% of the game and if you get hit by 1 axe, you are done for. You basically want to sit back and not walk up at all. BELIEVE me when I tell you that if he hits you with 1 axe, you WILL die. You better be able to disengage with a backwards E once he is running at you because otherwise, you are done. Get Tabis, Bramble Vest, Seeker's Armguard, Rylais and Lyandries. You are stronger lategame when you both have items but just don't let him get a kill on you. A snowballed Olaf will destroy EVERYTHING.”
maxlid3 says “At early levels he can't really do much but after level 6 he can just run you down and slow you a lot with his axes. Keep your distance after level 6 and maybe buy antiheal if he becomes a bigger threat.”
YasTilt says “Block his Q with your W, this Champion has absurd Anti-Heal so mind taking Anti-Heal against him. Don't use your tornado when he uses his Ult and you can try to pick Exhaust to slow him down.”
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror. To be honest I have almost never seen any Olaf on Top-Lane. But when I played against Olaf on top the match-up was pretty one-sided for me. Olaf received some small nerfs in the fast few patches (V10.23, V10.25, V11.1 and V11.3), some of them got reverted in V11.13. Anyways Olaf is a pretty easy to counter. You can take Ignite. If not, rush Bramble and Blade of the Ruined King. You win automatically with these 2 items. Don't get poked too much by his Qs. His Ultimate - Ragnarök won't do much anyways to you so just run him down.”
Psychopathic Top says “Worse matchup than yi. Olaf top is seen a lot more as well. This champion can run you down on level 1, and would snowball too much of a gold difference for you to matter even post Sunderer. Level 6, ragnarok makes him immune to wither, so again (like yi), Nasus is playing with three abilities. Even if you miss every cs in the first wave, do not walk up for cs, as he will run you down with axe spam. In lane, look to survive and prevent getting turret dove. Do not ask for jungle help as Olaf simply 1 v 2s. Get bramblevest early to stop his insane healing, and try to scale up without dying. The later it gets, the better odds of you winning the game.”
DippyDan says “Strongest level 1 if he picks up all his axes. Can chase you down and cheese you at level 1. Can kill you at level 6 since riposte won't slow his AS. You will eventually outscale him easily. TIPS: [1] Watch for a level 1 invade. [2] Let him push first wave, and you can trade one you are level 2. [3] eventually get executioner for his healing.”
fishybearo says “Try to purchase Bramble Vest early especially if the enemy jungle is also AD as this is a major help against Olaf's Q poke and healing from his W. Ignite can assist in this matchup due to Olaf's healing and attack speed when he is low health, but don't be surprised if he can still beat you in a 1 v 1 if you make any mistakes. Olaf can punish you for bad itemization so make sure that if you want to play for lane you build armor. ”
TXK_ says “Busted champion who wins at all stages in the game. Pre 6 you can peel him off yourself with E so focus on farm. Olaf falls off so play for late game.”
Alan234 says “Go Phase Rush with boots +refillable into swifties + unflinching and w max second.
Dodge his q's and run immidately if he hits you, because you will die if you dont. Later on your outvalue him due to scaling, just survive early and concede cs. Ignite late due to his passive. His ult stops your q but removes resistances so you can blow him up (you will need to tank his autos though so you need to know your dmg)”
Bombabo says “The key to beating Olaf is to survive early. He outpokes you, outdamages you, and outsustains you. He is also very capable of tower diving you due to his ult, which prevents you from being able to E or R him. However, he falls off pretty hard around Mid-Game, and you should have no problem taking care of him unless he's fed. Ask for ganks”
Vandenelis says “He can avoid all your cc with ult permanently after his mini rework. He is a lane bully, and can run you down if he hits his q's rush bramble into him. Try to surivive early, you should be much more ussefull in lategame.”
DarkyTheReal says “Level 1 bait his q into your minions, so he pushes the wave, you start trading at level 3 at your tower with quick trades until you can all-in him. If you have problems you can get Executioner's calling and Plated steel caps”
SettVEVO says “I don't see Olaf top ever, but he ignores CC when he hits 6 which means he will dodge your W probably and you can't ult him when his ults up. You can win early as long as you get him low enough to kill him with an E stun to W. But after its just really boring. As long as you don't die to him in lane he won't be as scary as he seems later.”
RTO says “Avoid trading until level 3. His level 1 is disgusting. Very easy to gank for you jungler, so call for a gank. Even at level 6, do not look for all in without chunking him down. ”
wff010 says “I recently had a very interesting experience. With my old sett runes, I'd have won the fight level 1 with my w. However, I lost the fight because I played it wrong with these runes. I w'd too early, and he had w, so he lifestealed faster than I could kill him. How to prevent this? Auto attack him until both of you are as low as possible and THEN use your w level 1 to one shot him so he doesn't get his max attack speed and lifesteal. You should easily win trades with AA, AA, Q, Q, E, W or variations of that between levels 1-5 and you should use that pressure to build a cs lead so you can kill him even after level 6.”
LoLReal says “Nobody really plays Olaf top these days but this lane is actually quite hard. He wins early levels and is very strong against us mid game. He can R out of our R so we have no snowball potential against him post 6. Just get tabi, farm and try to go even, you will be more useful late game.”
SanLourdes says “Olaf has been nerfed so he is a little less of a threat, but his ult completely ignores all of your CC and his range with his axe throws in addition to his damage output will definitely be a force to be reckoned with. If you scale, you shouldn't have too much of a hard time defeating him in the late game, but in the early game, stand clear.”
calbino says “Olaf top is dead. Still, his level 1 can run you down, and his level 6 makes him immune to your knockups and W. As long as you space yourself properly, you should be ok.”
ForgottenProject says “This is guy is a cheese pick. His Early-Game is stupidly strong but he falls off.
[1]Do not fight him before level 3 he will out damage you hard.
[2]Try to Predict and parry his E(his Dunk).
[3]Farm up and you should beat him at lv6.
[4]Try to dodge his Axe the best you can as it gives him a window to All-in or stack his Conqueror.
[5]Rush Executioner's After your Tiamat, you don't want him to kill thanks to his absurd lifesteal.”
KarmaChamelion says “Rarely seen top now days. While his ult is a giant middle finger to your CC. You out scale him and Bramble can deal with his healing, don't feed him early and he won't be much of a threat later on. However if he gets fed early he will make you feel pain.”
Papa Urgot says “This guy will fuk you up as well. He can Ult so your realm goes away he has more healing and dmg then u. Get Seekers Antihealing and tabis as well.”
Marwaii says “Rush anti heal.
He will kill you if he lands a single axe and can counter your ulti with his own. Just kite him and poke with Q until you get mythic and you should win.
Take Trinity + Swiftness.”
AlanVenator says “His poke early game with Qs is not to be underestimated. Do not get baited by his low HP as he will gain attack speed. His ultimate prevents your second cast of "Fear beyond death". Do not fight him early levels. Get some sort of healing reduction if you want to fight him.”
SethPRG says “If you fall for the early cheese level 1 trade, you will probably lose, especially if he has ignite. However, it's possible to win Level 1 if you learn W first, and can dodge an axe or two. If you get hit by an axe, do not under any circumstance just try to walk away, it will be a terrible trade for you, and you could end up dying, or tower dove by him and his JG. At the very least you can fight him and try to blow his flash when he needs to dodge your W. In an AA duel, you will win, at least till level 6. You will want to bully him once you reach level 3, and start building for Trinity Force, going for Sheen first. Nothing else matters here for Mythic items, you just need to abuse the burst and in fight bonus AD from it to be able to kill Olaf. If he ever ults, you need to position smart to hit your W, for example, having your back against the wall. The only use of ulting him during his ult is to get away, dodge the slow from an axe of his, or just delay his ult so it runs out quicker. If you're not ahead, you will probably lose the 1v1, so splitting in this matchup isn't ideal. You will want to match him however in sidelines and hope to catch him out with your team if he pushes too far. In team fights you can't realistically stop him from ulting onto your team and chopping them into sushi, so your best bet is to engage on his team and force him to respond to you. But if he's smart, he could save his ult during that situation, so forcing it out by starting a fight by ulting him into his team into an E if possible, or bursting his carry down are both ways to try and achieve that. He's stronger the lower HP he is, but you stack Conquerer faster than him, so be aware of those things. Rushing Bramble Vest is a must this matchup, and Plated Steelcaps as well unless the rest of his team is a heavy AP/CC based comp. Black Cleaver is also useful in this situation as a 2nd or 3rd item if he is building a lot of armor, but generally I would go Death's Dance just to spread out some of his AD damage in an all-in. Sterak's Gage would be a decent early build for this matchup, as you would be able to survive through his ult probably, and deal more W
true damage.”
doozy99 says “Go for the Tank rune page or get Goredrinker as your mythic. Get double armor in your flex runes. Buy bramble vest first back. If you're behind max W, otherwise max Q. ”
PinkUnicornGod says “Olaf is very strong early and makes your laning phase absolute hell. Buy Dorans Shield and just try to poke him when he walks up to hit minions. RUSH BRAMBLE. The lane doesn´t get any easier after lvl.6 since Olafs ult cleanses yours. In a 1v1 you have to ult him before he ults so you still get the stolen stacks even though you aren´t in the death realm. If you ult him while he is in his ult your ult will just be wasted (no stolen stats). I don´t recommend fighting him head-on until 2-3 items. Don´t overextend or he will have it easy to just run you down with his q. If his Jungler for some reason ganks after lvl.6 you can ult the jungler and hopefully trade 1 for 1 or maybe even get a kill and get out.”
tibs2 says “Bramble any% speedrun. Scary match up but if done correctly should lead to you going even and outscaling. Try to always be fairly close to tower if he is 6 as he can run you down very easily. Pre 6 is pretty fine tho as if he tries to run you down you can just kite with q and w. Look to use w to run away faster, getting t2 to run away even faster is very nice too.”
SadmanV3 says “Olaf poses a slightly larger threat to Nasus than most, this is largely because trading with Olaf almost always results in a loss in the early game. With his passive allowing him to gain more attack speed at lower health, you can be caught off guard by his damage output.
1. Avoid trading when Olaf is at low health
2. Withering (W) before trading is one way to gain a more favorable trade.”
Noodles912 says “Would be extreme if his range was longer. Just hug your tower and you're fine. If you try to 1v1 at all, say goodbye to your LP. Outscale him, and get that sweet elo.”
Urgodzilla says “Chases you with Qs, chunks with E, heals a lot with W, hardcounters your R with his R. Do your best to survive early game, don't let him get fed and you will be fine after lvl13.”
SanLourdes says “Olaf is a tough matchup. Even though he was nerfed, he still remains a strong counter to you. He has damage, movement speed, and anti-CC that completely cancels your ultimate. Do not use your ultimate on Olaf unless you know that his is on cooldown. Don't get his by his axes. Build Doran's Shield, Plated Steelcaps and Rylai's as soon as possible.”
negoZoma69 says “A very cheesy toplane pick. Stay safe at level 1 and focus on sidestepping his axes. You can't really kill Olaf in lane unless he dives you so just play safe and farm from distance. You can outperform him in teamfights.”
SleeplessX says “He is extremely strong in a duel, don't get hit by his Q and get run down the lane. Let him push to you. He dumps on you post-6 with his ult but doesn't scale well unless fed, play for the team”
Pawn Sacrifice says “Ok. I will classify this matchup as even but the real bad notice here it's his ultimate, that counters yours - at least, you can't cast the second part of your ultimate, while his ultimate is active -. It's really annoying but its not a difficult lane to Urgot. You will not have a bad time...”
Rime101 says “Haven’t played vs one in a long time top lane.
I’d say proto > morello with Q Max.
Dont play too far up in the lane he has a lot of kill pressure
Even if it feels like he heals for 9000 hp keep poking him down enough so he can’t all in you
”
Erenando says “He heals too much with his W and he is immune to your slow while he ults. He is an absolute beast with conquerer and his pokes with his Q will tilt you for sure. In any cases, try to stack as much as possible or dodge the game. He is probably your hardest counter”
GrGamingTeo says “Olaf is a god. You will never see him in the top lane but that one time you are against him you will not like this game at all. If you try to trade him away from your tower, he will heal back his missing health, he will chase to your tower and might even kill you. You need to respect him forever. The only time you will have a chance to kill him is only if his wave is really close to your tower and you pull him in and take him down with the help of the tower. Also once he hits lv6 you lose no matter what ou do. The only reason why he is not a LV6 threat is because you will never play against him in the top lane.”
LunaticDancer says “The scariest thing he has is lifesteal and attack speed buffs when on low hp, so be wary of that, but generally you heavily outtrade him. Also, your W counters his ultimate, a nice bonus.”
SpyDaFX says “extremely annoying, ask for ganks, go doran's shield, try to roam and get a lead, last hit and dont push, try to get a lead before level 6 because his ult is completely dumb and annoying (still killable at level 6 but it's a skill matchup, that is favored to him). dodge his axes. go Conqueror.”
Ravenborne says “Do not fight him Level 1 and 2. Level 3 you win against him. If you are both Level 6 start the fight off by pulling him in so he can't R it afterwards. Ghost is mandatory so he does not keep you slowed with Q. He has a lot of sustain so Bramble Vest is a very good buy here.”
BigManYam says “He will go aggressive on you early game by poking with his axes so make sure to avoid his axes by weaving and get early ganks if you can so he can't ult from your wither. But don't overextend mid game as well as this match up is favored for Olaf. ”
MarkFromSingedMains says “His Q is great for chasing you down, his W allows him to regen after chasing you down, and his E negates the stat buff you get from your R. Add onto this his R cancelling your W and E and you've found yourself in a horrendous lane. Bramble is recommended here.”
Devilofthewest says “Olaf is dangerous as he gets into later stages of the game . The best way to deal with him is to stomp him early , Dont get into extended trades with him. Use Electrocute runes and go for burst trades every time electrocute is up and you will win. its easy as that , dodge his hatchets and burst him ( BRING IGNITE )”
ChevalierArlo says “A temporada 11 tá sendo ótima pra ele, então não é raro achá-lo no top. Rushe corta-cura e evite trocar com ele com a ultimate dele ligada. Tome MUITO cuidado com ele no nível 1.”
ModelitoTime says “Olaf early game is just crazy, just stay back and if he hits you with his Q just E towards your turret and run away. Buy a early Executioners Calling, and about once you hit lvl 6+ you should start to win the matchup, *also not that if olaf casts his ult you cannot slow him, stun him, or even use your ult against him*”
xxskipskipxx says “Dodge his Q and try to E his E!!!
If he throws his Q too far away from him you can trade him ! Try not to kite towards his Q !!!
Keep in mind that his R gives him Armor and MR , which he loses when he activates his R! ”
ineptpineapple says “AWFUL MUNDO'S WORSE COUNTER PART. Just try to do what you do in all matchups that are awful try to avoid stuff and if he initiates q w e away and save your ult for yourself unless you know you can kill him.”
Hyzerik says “Throws a lot of axes, if he goes for a axe near you try to combo him. Otherwise he will just keep throwing them at you. Watch out for his ult as it makes your E and R useless.”
JannaMainOTP800K says “Pre 6 make sure to dodge his Q and show him who is the domina in you top-lane realationship. After lvl 6 there are three options
1. Praying and Simping
2. Running away using ghost flash and phaserush
3. Trolling your entire team as they predicted in champselect”
TioKirb says “Humiliate him on early and he won't be a threat ever again, add the Oblivion Orb to that and he will become useless against your Magic-based burning wrath.”
LeSocair says “Dodge his axes at all costs. This pick isn't common, but when it's a good pick, he's very good. I'm just keeping it as Extreme Threat because whenever Olaf is picked it's because he's rly good.”
sauronkaiser says “The thing with olaf is never understimate him. This champion is a god when it comes to surprise you winning fights you though you had already won.”
Mord3kaiser says “Olaf is a hard matchup for mordekaiser early on because of his advantage in long trades with his insane healing. He has a qss ultimate and is hard to pin down in team fights with your ult as a result. ”
Ramixx says “I haven't fought Olaf evenly as I usually snowball but from what I could tell Olaf beat me if he snowballed and if he didn't he would usually just die.”
EU_Toxicity says “Olaf is famous for his level 1 and 2 all-in rundown potential with his Q axe spam. Play at a safe distance very early on, let him push so he wouldn't have enough distance in lane to run you down. Once you reach level 3 you've outscaled him so long as he didn't cheese you and you can start playing aggresively. Get tabis and an item to reduce his healing and you're good.”
Malol67 says “One of the champions that you want to avoid before you have at least lvl 3,
try to block his E and autos with your E.
try to abuse the 3-5 window,since its kinda harder when he has ult if you don't have ignite or anti heal.”
iZeal says “A difficult matchup that can snowball out of control. Darius has a fighting chance against Olaf early game, however you have to abuse your superior range by using your E and your W slow to counteract the huge difference between Olaf's attack speed and yours. Use your E to stop him from autoattacking you to death when he is close to death so you can finish him off. After level 6 you somehow have to survive Olaf charging at you while you have 0 options to setup your Q. If you can somehow hit your Q anyways (maybe by flashing) you have a chance of winning or if you can disengage (Phase Rush is a possibility in this matchup). One of the few matchups where I might go Black Cleaver for added early defensiveness. You will outscale Olaf hard though and he becomes setup fodder for your passive in the lategame.
DBlade/DShield, Ninja Tabis!, Phage (Cleaver possible)”
DarkWolfDavid says “Hes Pretty same like Warwick, but has more heal, mora ttack speed, and you just cant fight him, if he has R. You cant escape by E stun and you cant run away becouse of slow. But atleast he has no big CC”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Bait his Q or dodge it -> Take small trades -> Space correctly -> Kite -> Take ignite to win early against him, take a lead and snowball -> When he pops R again just kite and wait for it to be over -> Ideally do not fight when he uses W”
NickCola Tesla says “Another completely unwinnable matchup for Sion, amazing! The raw early game strength of Olaf rivals that of Darius, and against Sion, it's no exception.
Don't even step up to lane for the first level, take your E second for the slow, and use that to disengage to the best of your ability if he tries to get on top of you. Go the tank rune setup designed for ranged matchups, since even approaching his general area will end with you dying. You could also take Arcane Comet and purchase a Doran's Ring to poke him down from range more.
Once level 6 hits, his all-in potential only gets worse. You have to play with EXTREME care, since you'll have no way to CC him. Check the "high threat matchups" section for greater detail!”
Saarlichenbog says “Olaf is known as the melee bully equivalent of the top lane. You are essentially both competing for pressure the entire lane which can sway either way. Both Olaf and Kalista have tools they can use which can give them the one up in the matchup, but ultimately the power in Olaf's ultimate gives him his scaling spike earlier in the game than Kalista and if utilised correctly can stop Kalista from scaling before the end of the game if the matchup is dead even. If he misses his Q early on, use the opportunity to make a long trade as he will most likely greed for the axe reset.”
Captain Dantems says “Tome cuidado com os machados, de resto só pokeia ele. Grasp com Chamuscar ou inspiração. Poção Corrupta ou Cristal de Safira com 3 poções de vida.”
ItsPaulygon says “You win before he reaches 6, but if you don't scale well, he will dominate you. You won't be able to stun him after 6 so force him out of lane early.”
llametekudasai says “tiene el daño necesario para matarte en el lvl1, por lo cual no es necesario que te metas a lvl temprano si estas bajo vida, intenta estar a la par de el, el ignite te ayudara a cortar sus curaciones y recuerda empezar con una E, ya que si el tiene ulti es muy probable que te mate antes que esta se acabe.”
pedrohnasc says “Do NOT overextend your trades with him, he'll Q you to death. Before level 6 try to poke him down. Without Olaf's R it's kinda easy to fight him, but when he has ult you can't CC him with your Q's.”
Delvoid says “Olaf beats you early in every aspect of the lane phase. Try to survive let him push you in and farm as best you can. Mid/late you out scale. Be careful of his R as its stops your R + E”
OmegaDelta000 says “One of the best early games in the game, even when you get your transformation you'll still have a bit of trouble fighting him, but it's not impossible.”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Olaf is insanely damaging to you early, and if you try to pull him to you with the E + Q combo, you just give him an opportunity to take all of your hp away with his attacks. He can easily poke you down with Q, although they cost lots of mana, so try to bait and dodge Q to waste his mana. If you are hit, he can easily chase you down and kill you if you are low. Also, his Ultimate stops your ult, although you still get to have the stats for 7 seconds and until he respawns if you manage to kill him. A good idea is to stick under turret and ask for ganks from jungler or mid laner. ”
TangoVallhala says “You can poke him, try killing before 6, if he is able to stick on to you save your W to drag him off along with Second and third Q, this matchup is similar to Reneketon because he can snowball in lane so keep your distance!”
Penguinoverlord1 says “Olaf will annihilate you in laning phase, but as long as you play to survive by avoiding his poke from his Q's, you outscale him very very hard in late game. When you are trying to all in him, make sure he doesn't have his R up, as he can 1v2 with 1 item and his R very easily in most gank situations.”
YoungTact says “Respect his level 1-2 all in potential, can look for harass with Q & Passive but you HAVE to dodge incoming axes or you risk burning sums/flatout dying. Try your best to disengage using e/w respectfully if he gets a series of axes onto you.”
qasddsa says “He can run down your team with Ult and be a huge frontline. Be sure to dodge his axes. Very hard to deal with once he gets a few tank items. Recommend buying a Blade of the Ruined King.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / SPELLBOOK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Olaf top is a sort of out of meta pick, since nowadays toplane is usually filled with scaling picks but there is still some players that will go Olaf top and try to cheese you. The key to win this lane is to dodge his Q's, if you get hit by his Q's early on while you are overextended just W and look to disengage he can kill you even with you stacking like 3 minion waves early on, try to farm until lvl 6 and Sheen and after that it becomes way harder for him to kill you since with Conqueror + Legend Bloodline you can sort of match his Conqueror + W healing, just remember to use W after his R ended, using it while he still hasn't used R or while he is using it, its a complete waste of cooldown. Later on regardless if you either decide to splitpush or teamfight, he can't match you at all unless he got a lead on you early on, Olaf simply doesn't scale at all in comparison to Nasus infinite Q scaling and he can't even match you even in 1v2 scenarios, he becomes super useless and basically a sack of potatoes that can become CC-less with his R (as an analogy).”
SubHuman Filth says “go phase rush or grasp. Get early boots. Swifties pref.
You can't really win this lane at all. focus on farm and outscale.
dodge his q's and get early armor.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. The biggest part about the Olaf matchup is to get him to throw axes at you while you are sitting in your minion wave so that he shoves into you. Having the wave pushing towards Olaf is typically bad. Olaf has really good all in with the axes and he can potentially just run you down the lane if he hits more then 1 in a row. At level 4 you do have opportunities to trade/allin the olaf assuming you kept your health pool pretty high. A big opportunity to all in Olaf is if he throws an axe pretty far away from himself, if you spin on him and look to all in, he cant run towards his axe to reset his q cooldown which gives you a great advantage. You can also take advantage of his W cooldown which gives him a lot of lifesteal and attack speed to look for trades if he wastes his w. Post 6 you start to outscale Olaf, your ultimate is much better then his for the 1v1. In the mid-late game you will be able to beat Olaf 1v1 outside of his turret, if you are ahead you can even turret dive him 100-0. If you feel you cannot dive him, try to push in and outrotate him with the insane mobility Tryndamere has and look for flank opportunities to start a fight with a man advantage. ”
Pyroen says “His ult makes your passive useless. He will also likely be able to sustain with lifesteal even at low levels when you try to all in him at close range, so keep your distance and be ready to dodge his axe throwing and you should be fine!”
Nabura says “Phase rush might be decent in this matchup however I have not tested it in practice. His only way to snowball on you is with cheese Q spam early. Buy executioners and use W to dodge his Qs, you can run him OOM if you dodge enough.”

Adolfie says “Olaf isnt seen on toplane too much, but if you meet him, you cant win early fights, and then he can break your W thru his R. BRAMBLE VEST is needed in this kind of matchup, so be sure to pick one up”
Ayanleh says “Early on morde does not have the sustained damage to beat olaf and he has so much sustained healing in lane more than you. Not only that, he can also instantly remove your ultimate with his ultimate.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “You win an allin at lvl 3-5 but lvl 1-2 and when you both have ults, you don't win an even allin. Rush tabi.
Eventually get bramble aswell.
Take bone plating.
Take armor.”
Mrobby says “Olaf is very strong at early game skirmishes, but he is not unbeatable, if he misses his axe you can pretty much beat him easily, and if you go phase rush he will NEVER be able to kill you on his terms unless you just run it down on him”
wallobear53 says “Dodge his stray Qs in the lane when you can, otherwise, he will be able to chase you down easily and will force you off the wave which will set you back early on.
Invest in some Grievous Wounds early on to reduce his healing during trades. This will give you more of an even footing while trading with him, especially when he is on low health.
Once he gets his Ultimate, he can easily set up ganks with his Ultimate and Q. Try not to overextend in this lane without knowing where the enemy Jungler is, or you will simply get run down in this lane, and you don’t want Olaf to get a lead early on.
”
Fiora Pogjet says “Olaf top isn't seen much but he is strong against Fiora. You can go for early trades with lvl 2 or 1 but care about him chasing you down with his q. Before lvl 6 and after lvl 6 it is always coming up to you trying to outplay him.”
Tranex says “This champ is gonna wreck your ass like your uncle last night, you try to 1v1 him, you loose, you try to ult him, he uses his ult and u loose, but at least he can die”
Teemain says “
Go for Grievous Wound items to counter his W.
Do NOT underestimate this guy when he is low health! When he is half health, try to jebait his Flash by Igniting + Q + E...
As soon as you can hit him with Ignite + Q combo when he is half health, you can guaranteee his Flash UNLESS you are a bad
Garen player and can't dodge his Q.

gsaeyx says “(GO TO THREATS MINOR TO SEE THE NEW W.I.P OLAF GUIDE. IF YOU WANNA PLAY SAFE JUST FOLLOW THIS) --- Build full tank otherwise he shreads you like a truck. Just stay back and safefarm. If you die you have good kill protential with your passive so don't be afraid to int.”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up à l'avantage de Darius, mais il y a quelques trucs à bien maîtriser pour cela !
Premièrement, ne jamais affronter un Olaf avant le niveau 3, c'est du suicide pur et simple il va t'exploser.
Deuxièmement, éviter absolument ses haches, c'est relativement simple une fois que tu as le timing, et c'est une condition nécessaire pour gagner les trades.
Troisièmement, quand tu l'affronter utilise ton E pour le maintenir loin de sa hache, et une fois le niveau 3 dépasser, tu es quasiment sur de le vaincre, en plaçant efficacement ton A pour la regen !
Astuce : Les tabi ninja sont indispensable contre Olaf. A noter également que Olaf perd très vite en puissance quand la game progresse, donc si tu le bat en phase de lane, ils ont littéralement un joueur de moins dans la partie.”
Gnarcisist says “Single biggest threat to you in lane. Olaf does more damage to you as he gets lower on health so fighting is already an uphill battle. His ult negates yours and his speed will make it hard to run back to tower if your caught. Rush armor and wait for jg help”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start.

Angela du Seithr says “Olaf est très fort et il s'agit d'un des personnages que vous n'avez aucun intérêt à provoquer en duel dès le niveau 1. Toutefois, si vous vous maintenez à bonne distance et restez hors de portée de ses haches, vous courir dessus lui consommera beaucoup de ressource tandis qu'avec une simple Cotte Épineuse vous pouvez réduire son impact.”
Alzeidx says “Very hard matchup, ask for ganks, go doran's shield, play safe,try to roam and get a lead, last hit and dont push, try to get a lead before level 6 because his ult is completely dumb and annoying (still killable at level 6 but it's a skill matchup, that is favored to him). dodge his axes. go Conqueror.”
JuarezLOL says “its literally one of hardest match ups in order to win you need to avoid everything fight and let him push to you so you can call your jungler to help u pre olaf's 6”
CourtesyD0Prata says “His ult deny your 3rd Q. If you are far from your team and he comes to you, cry or try outplay / Sua ult cancela seu terceiro Q. Se você estiver longe do seu time, chore se chorou ou tente um outplay.”
Shoqi says “Lvl 1 = Ele vai te caçar com o Q dele
Lvl 6 = Acabou o seu jogo
TF = Se ele te focar, não tem o que você fazer, ainda mais se tiver ultado.”
Destroya777 says “Olaf is an obvious threat because he is immune to CC while in R. it's better not to trade with him, because he will win, and lifesteal back any damage you did.”
WolfNyte says “Olaf is very annoying to fight against as he relies on both AA's and Abilities. So once you use all your abilities if he is not dead he can win the AA fight using his passive attackspeed and lifesteal.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “You just have to be careful not to get caught out.
You start winning this matchup as you get more items so just try and avoid him and scale.
Once you have Tiamat > Dusk > Edge of night > Lord Dom you just roll over olaf and there isn't anything he can do.
You lose early / win late.”
Itreallyhim says “he can kill you, be careful, He will be a very dangerous target, Do short trades if hes Low, long trades if hes high on hp.
Dodge his Q-s, Also you can remove them with ult.”
ShinyEmo says “Dodge his Q's. Mostly do safe farming and freeze the lane. If he tries to trade, you can outtrade him if he doesn't have Ninja Tabi. You will crush him in late game. ”
Death Rusofag says “Abusivo en línea con sus hachas, increíble sustain y mucho potencial 1 vs 1. No le hagas trades con poca vida, consigue rápidamente heridas graves y las tabis ninja.”
Judgepepper123A says “don't try and use your any of your abilities on Olaf because when it comes to his ult he can ignore your passives effects except for having it to launch a detonation ”
lugzinho says “The healing of his W and Conqueror all together with his E's true damage make him really hard to fight 1v1 since he just mashes his keyboard and wins most 1v1's.
Although your remount can kinda screw with him.”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “Before level 6 you win this lane quite easily. You can poke Olaf and sustain at the same time with Fleet Footwork and if he hits you with a Q you can just flay him away and dodge the second one. Level 6 is when this lane becomes hard. When Olaf uses his ultimate there is no way for you to peel him away from you. Don't even waste time using your Q or E as the cast animation will just slow you down. Try to hit him with an auto attack and proc your Fleet Footwork while dodging his Q's. Hopefully he doesn't kill you and then you can just poke him again and sustain up. Late game Olaf will be a problem since he gets insane amounts of life steal, so just play around your team and rather poke another target since he will just sustain back up to full HP at the start of a fight.”
ForgottenProject says “Olaf is really strong Level 1
Be careful Level 1, and don’t get hit by his Q
At level 3, you can usually out damage him if you parry his E (true damage lightning ability)
At level 6, your Parry will not slow his MS or AS if he uses his R
You outscale Olaf, and beat him at all the later stages of the game
”
SirVermillion says “You win this matchup early, and if he sucks then he'll fall off, but if he's a good Olaf, he will quickly pick up and kill you even if you're ahead. ”
ysfmbk says “what u can do is rush bramble vest , dodge his q in laning phase and short trade him with passive and Q while constantly positioning him near a wall to get him low and kill him or dive him in his tower”
Pedrokis says “Pode ser chato por causa do poke e do life steal que ele ganha com o W (que é aprimorado pela passiva de ter o attack speed aumentado com o quão menor a vida dele tiver). / A ult é um problema por que vai ser difícil você manter ele longe, já que ele countera os seus knock ups e o puxão do seu W. / Fica dando harass com seu Q, usa ignite se você garante a matchup ou builda Chamado do Carrasco (pra counterar o life steal dele) e respeita ele caso ele tenha ult pronta.”
Scintior says “Olaf counter Skarner due to the fact that he has insane healing, true damage and a ultimate that negates Skarner's. To win, only fight Olaf when you have teammates around.”
Zhygop says “If olaf start with W, don't even ty to trade him, he will just get more move speed, more lifesteals and with conqueror, he can easily take you down. Try to poke with your Q.
”
ozmankaan says “beware dont take him easy, he can out damage n outsustain u, concentrate on ur CS, keep on AA whenever there is a chance, engage with ur jung or when his health is low otherwise just keep on poking him till his health is low n u can engage.”
BeautifulWinter says “I like Olaf and they don't like me. Very standard Passive levels 1-5 only go for fights once you have R up.
You should be able to take him as long as he isn't too far ahead.”
Big Belly Bop says “Rough match up. He can permaslow, he's invulnerable to CC, and he can out heal your damage. Everything Senna loves! NOT. Dodge Q's if possible and E out, don't even bother autoing. JUST RUN! Flash + TP, Doran's Shield + 1 HP, Sustain or Gotta Blast! rune page”
ExfIamed says “Its an easy matchup as long as you dont get hit by his axe, if you get hit you just die. He'll just permanently slow you cause apparently riot thought it was a good idea for him to be able to pick the axe up and basically have a 0 cooldown and kill any melee champ easily, but as long as you dodge those you win.”
9690 says “Nobody really plays Olaf top these days but this lane is actually quite hard. He wins early levels and is very strong against us mid game. He can R out of our R so we have no snowball potential against him post 6. Just get tabi, farm and try to go even, you will be more useful late game.
”
Defensivity1 says “Always go with the conqueror page against olaf, once at level 6 he is a free kill and do not be affraid to trade against him if he missed his q. being affraid of olaf is where him being a threath comes in, you will win the trades but go with a bramble vest afther your triforce.”
ProgettoYorick says “Olaf in early will be aggressive, I don't have much information to give you against him .. but I have a "tip" to give you
OTP tip: be careful at level 6 so far as you could see, yorick plays well with level 6 against the other top laners, against olaf he is different he has enough damage to knock you down be careful.”
linsher19 says “His R can ignore your slow and his E does true damage the only way to kill him is that you have a larger Q stack and you can just destory him”
Skarner Main says “a smart Olaf is the biggest counter to Skarner He just have to hold his ult til you pop yours
But lucky i dont see alot of top olafs
In lane just try to avoid fighting him you outscale him just stand on top of your minions if he throw his axes on you they hit the minions aswell so the wave will most likely push to you
And this is really important DONT let him get a freeze on you”
Karnan says “I hate this guy. If he lands his axes on you he will just run you down and outdmg you hard early on. His ultimate allows him to make you his bitch.
Play early safe, let your jungler help if you wanna fight him. If your jungler can shut him down they should. An Olaf that is behind is weak as fuck. ”
AsomeSonic says “don't take long trades, take short trades, if he ults run then go in when ult is about to end, do not panic and use r or e on him when he ults unless you have the kill”
blunderr says “Olaf is extremely dangerous, he can very easily poke you with his Q and once he's lvl 6 he is probably going to all in you. At lvl 6 he has his ult which disables his current crowd control effect and makes him immune to further crowd control for the next 6 seconds, which means your Q and shrooms arent going to blind and slow him. At that point he's just going to run you down and probably kill you. Play VERY passively against Olaf, play under your tower if you have to. Your only chance to kill him is if your jungler comes to gank. I highly recommend Doran's Shield.”
Rhinoface says “Absolutely need ignite/morello. VERY hard matchup, gets harder after 6. Poke and dodge axes, if he's low you can ignite and kill and snowball. If you don't snowball, he'll faceroll you at 6.”
Poppu says “Olaf has strong Q pokes and Sustain kit. Best to try to out tank and wait for ganks. Try not to trade too much with him if he's low, his DPS and sustain is crazier when he's low.”
Aizo says “What do you get when you're playing a CC champ and you're facing an Unstoppable champion...? A threat. Olaf is very difficult for maokai to deal with due to his incredible chasedown and unstoppable ultimate. Very dangerous, don't step too far into lane against this guy or else you will die”
SoulHero says “He will win if you are not experienced, but you can win by going dorans shield and second win. You win lvl 1 e flip, try to flip him away from his axe. You don't really win at lvl 6 but you win at lvl 9. You cant reel him in if he ults, GET EXECUTIONERS. You straight up outdmg him and outheal him with deaths dance executioners. Ult him when his ult is down. ALSO CANT FLIP HIM IF HE ULTS. YOU OUTSCALE WITH MY BUILD.”
smurferrefrums1 says “Olaf is definitely not that easy to deal with. If he hits you with his axe, do not use your windwall up until the point where you can get to your tower before he can reach the axe. The wall just stops it, doesnt make it disappear like other projectiles. Rush Tabi and dont trade with him unless you've got a lead.
”
DrNaara says “His ult makes your passive useless. He will also likely be able to sustain with lifesteal even at low levels when you try to all in him at close range, so keep your distance and be ready to dodge his axe throwing and you should be fine!”
Jnewbringspain says “Olaf is not easy. Don't let his axe hit you, as it will be almost instantly reset and he can throw it again. Olaf has arguably the strongest level 1 in the game, so wait a bit before trying anything. After level 6, you won't be able to stun him with Counter Strike when he ults, so be careful.”
messketchup says “Ez matchup overall. Darius should permanently outscale Olaf after level 6 since darius doesn't need cc to duel olaf (making his ultimate relatively useless) if olaf goes onto him. All Darius needs is stacking for his own ult, which is way stronger than Olaf's ult. Ganks can screw you over though.”
Sonny2o9 says “Never all in this champion, he will 100% win. Dodge his Undertows, and trade with auto and dragon strike. Be careful after you use dragon strike, that's his chance to all in you. Hitting him with 2 q's should bring him low enough to get one shot. ”
Angela du Seithr says “Olaf vous détruit sans sommation dès que votre E est en CD. Avant le niveau 6, vous pouvez toujours profiter de votre combo Z(renforcé) + A + E afin de l'empêcher de riposter, mais dès le niveau 6, il n'aura qu'à vous courir dessus.”
PogLord says “Skill lane. If he gets not much gank by jungler, it is literally a practice match for your reflexes. Not that hard, not that easy. I have no legit advices more than Zhonya + dodge his Q, dont let him AA you too much for his passive. When you BOTH reach 20% HP in a trade, you want to W him, cause thats more HP for you, than for him with his W. His ultimate is shit, but can ruin your E2 approach.
ULTIMATE STEAL SCORE: 0/5 trash for you.”
Prince Afghan says “Olaf is very strong pre level 6 but doesn't have insane all-in potential if you hold onto your W and don't waste it. Post 6 you can go aggressive and potentially kill as he has no mobility and will have to auto your W to escape. Call for your jungle and ward well. ”
Lil Tidepod says “Olaf is really only good for his poke on his axe throw. This is an easy lane for you. Simply push past him, outfarm him, and call for your jungler if need be. This guy is a joke pick into you or against you. While he may have true damage, he's not strong enough to last in long trades, provided you hit your Q.”
0mega best says “He has almost infinite slows which is a nightmare for volibear, he does tons of damage and is just has strong as you are in 1v1, play safe, farm under tower and try calling for a gank if possible.”
tuanminh says “Olaf thì tựa tựa giống Darius nó đè lane , Quấy phá không cho các bạn tích Q.Những thằng thế này hãy ôm fram và khi đạt đến ngưỡng sức mạnh của mình hãy trừng phạt lại chúng”
DrMoneybags says “Take ignite and fight when he misses axes early. He's very strong at early dueling so don't underestimate him. If you manage to put him behind early he'll be pretty useless the rest of the game.”
Speedy the dart says “Start doran's blade, get bramble vest and ninja tabi early. Go conqueror.
The scariest part of this lane is the early game. Don't get hit by a Q, he may just kill you. Once you get R and some armor, this matchup is a cakewalk. You can go ignite if you want, but I recommend Ghost.”
The_CuItivator says “Darius's Dad in lane. If you can dodge Qs you can kill him once or twice before 6. After that, it's all Olaf. Your E won't work on him thanks to his R. His W and high AS will tear Darius apart.”
E61K says “Start Doran's Shield to help deal with his constant Q harass. Olaf can seriously demolish you if you're not careful. Look at what he is running. If he is running Ignite and Conqueror be extremely carefully. Pre-6 you beat in an all-in provided you don't constantly get hit by his Q's. Post-6 he can make use of his ult CC immunity to dodge your Q and use the bonus AD coupled with his W and Conqueror to beat the ever living F out of you therefore it's best to respect him post-6 until you get your core or he makes a really stupid mistake. Also your ultimate kinda makes his passive only partially useful since you can burst him down before he can make the most use of it. A lot of people just think about Olaf spamming Q in lane and that being his strength but besides his Q spam in attempt to run you down you should be most careful about his W couped with his passive, Conqueror and constant E's. The additional dueling power and sustain he gets from it will end if you aren't careful. You outscale him hard in teamfights and in 1v1's. Just be careful and don't int him otherwise it will get ugly for you. Prioritize HP over armor. Overgrowth is very useful against him in the long run since he deals so much flat true damage.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Early game damage, Dueling potential, True damage. Weaknesses: Low mobility, Axe Reliant, Out-scaled. His early game damage is nothing to scoff at with his ability to pick his axes back up and reduce their cooldown. Taking this into account, to this day I have not lost to an Olaf in a level 1 trade in top lane. Typically, you want to poke him down over and over while dodging his axes in lane. Once he gets low, pick a fight with the intent to kill. Just keep in mind that he gets stronger the lower he is on HP. The last thing you want to do is start running away from him after just getting in melee range of this guy. Be sure to riposte his reckless swing so that the true damage does not hit you and try to dodge his axes as much as possible in lane and you should be fine.”
Hootsman says “Olaf's sustain is on par with Warwick's. Olaf, pre-six, is not much of a threat. But Olaf's ult renders Warwick's E and R useless. Make sure to fight when his ult is on CD.”
Sion says “He can run through you like it's nobody's business. Just ban him or swap with midlaner lmao.
On the real though, you want to fight him level 3 till 6, but post 6 or pre 3 you do not wanna fight him. Just keep doing short trades with E+Q where he cannot retaliate and then dodge his axes. He runs outta mana easy so if he doesn't have W up and has like 70 mana, RUN HIM DOWN.”
VdeathSpartan says “One of the few champions who can out damage you early, however if you're smart about it you can get n early kill. Don't let him pick up his axes.”
Xywiser says “Olaf will just run you down when he gets level 6, and you can't really do anything about him. You can't (Q) (E) or (W) away because he is so damn fast.”
polarehare says “Just dodge his axes for the love of god, players that play him are also aggressive and so is his entire kit except for his Q, so utilize that and get in CQC with him and you will out trade him. ”
SirDeRp25 says “Definitely a hard matchup for TEEMO, start D Shield into this match-up and take grasp of the undying. Try your best to dodge his Axes in lane phase, he is able to easily run you down and chunk you out. ”
Ragdoll Poppy says “Yea this aint happening. He will slow you, smash through your armor, and you cannot stop him in doing it. He also outdamage and outpoke you. If you wanna win, call jungler help before 6.”
E61K says “Dodge his axes and you will be fine. Don't let yourself get baited into early fights because Olaf destroys pretty much everbody early on. If he is decent he will ult your tornado at 6 and you won't be able to ult. Buy yourself some time by either running away or dashing around minions. The ult lasts for a very brief moment. Then re-engage with your ult. Wind Wall his axes or he will just run you down.”
Omega best says “Olaf simply counters you, he has damage, slows and attack speed and ability which prevents you from fliping him. There is not much you do, just call for ganks, build armor and play safe and flip him at the right moment when he his low on mana and doesnt have his Q unless when he reaches 6 NEVER try an attack unless your ganked.”
nanosako says “Olaf is a pain in the butt to duel because after level 6, he can easily remove your ultimate. Your E will basically only be useful for the damage reduction, and he can possibly out-sustain you if he's low.”
Mouadyam says “careful for his level 6, he cant be cc'ed then, try to kill him before that for a lead, and dont underestimate his damage. dont get poked and go aggressive early before he becomes a monster.”
FlakNShrapnel says “This one is entirely skill based, if the Olaf runs as you, you win. If the olaf pokes you down with q, you better hope you can get on him before he gets another q.”
UndeadWolf says “He can hurt. Quite a lot. Pokes you with his Q, heals a lot, and the worst of it: his ult. He becomes Unstoppable, which means no form of CC can stop him. He also gains Armor and MR, MS, and extra AD as well. Just farm and try to get him pre-6.”
DERPFISHrejects says “Can be fairly terrifying, but you can still deny him as much as he can deny you with your ranged harass on q. Refuse to fight him without your passive on deck and/or your possessing a significant health advantage.”
Dacnomaniak says “If you fall behind he will win the lane. With his ult activated her negates everything about Poppy that makes her good. Try to dodge Qs and play very aggressive early.”

Tips Against Olaf in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
T-Trouble says “If you're confident that you can win against shaco, then i would ban olaf instead.”
checca says “Olaf has slowly gotten worse against Zac over time since Season 10. Olaf is the one exception in this game where you have to run Conqueror into. Aftershock will not proc if he uses R, so Conqueror is the way to go if you want to 1v1 him post level 6 with ease. Usually I would build Demonic against Olaf every time.”
Davecraft16 says “You need to dodge his q with your q, if you can do it he will then proceed to use is r and smash your face. For this matchup you need to use walls as an advantage and hope your team will help you if he invades.”
winterapb says “his early game is super strong. you barely can 1v1 him. you have to take ignite to win against him. you need full ferocity before fighting him.
try to outscale him. dont take stupid fights.”
RedNBlue says “You win the fight of spamming Q, you will be the one running him down.
Unlike regular junglers, It can almost be said that you can let him get fed and you still have no problem killing him as long as you have at least a few kills and less deaths. (More gold and damage is what I really mean)”
Xerath gaming says “No one plays olaf on top, atleast I don't see it to happen. but if u fight him on top you can't really do anything against him. He beats you in laning phase and mid game since his ult cancels yours, in late game he shouldn't be a problem. Take ignite ”
Riccardo126 says “If he has ult is unkillable, dont even try to all-in him until he wastes his ult, even then he can outduel you. Make sure you have 5 stacks and Q to finish him when he is low and his passive makes him crazy”
MythicalMinute says “Go AP and just box him, never actually get close to him unless its to ult and walk away. He will beat you in melee at all stages whereas AP wont zone him but he'll take more damage and you can still zone his team.
AP is good here.”
Dabgren says “Make sure to always have a ward upon you to Wardjump away from fighting a olaf, he will 90% of the time play ghost so you can wardjump over a wall to get away from him but once he hits his 1q on you you better get away, cause he will win every fight possible if he decides to try.”
spuki97 says “Don't fight him before level 6 and don't try to counter gank him. Don't even get fooled into thinking you can kill him if he is under 50% hp as he can lifesteal sustain. Avoid him early game and fight him after 6. Best build: All”
RengarNBush says “Try to kite this guy, if you jump on him and can't jump away wait for his q then double w to try and run away, if you have eclipse it should be easier to outrun his r duration with yours. He also outstats you so try not to fight him 1v1 even if he is behind.”
ToxicCannon says “Similar problem as Trundle. He can out heal your burst and can farm usually better than you. But being able to resist your Ult CC is huge. You will have no interrupts in this fight so he wall run you down and probably be full health by the time he kills you.”
Kuriboh says “Olaf's should be avoided at early stages of the game and if his ultimate is up he can easily invade and burst you with little chance for counter-play.”
Saltu says “AVOID, the only fucker with bigger balls than you, still pre-level 6 you could RUSH AND KILL.
Broken ass champ, but luckily tends to be a problem for the top laner.”
Hazardist says “Olaf is easily the biggest counter to Skarner, and the outcome will be decided on whether you can play it smart or not. Take Phase Rush, avoid fighting him 1v1 and stick with your team in skirmishes during the early game. It's ok to skip contesting early ganks or objectives for the sake of not falling behind too much.”
Farmer Cleetus says “New Olaf is completely busted, you MAY kill him if you're literally 3 items ahead of him and being rhaast, but he will for sure outfight you under any circumstances, because of his overshield + lifesteal and unstoppable ult. Beware if you meet him, just outplay him and you're good to go.”
Darksword255 says “He's almost totally impossible to dual. his entire kit counters you. The only time you stand somewhat of a chance is when his R is down. His ult blocks CC so your R and E have no effect on him. Dodge if he's locked in.”
TheOriginalTwoSides says “Olaf is too tanky for you to burst, and when you gets Wit's End it becomes to much for you to deal with, I recommend banning him.”
ItsAydam says “Olaf is similar to trundle in terms of strong early game. If you dodge his Q's you can win but if you get hit by one Q early he can kill you. Fight him near walls or just wait until 6 then you can beat him. ”
RactickTTV says “Olaf is another great early invader and early duelist. It is very hard to win straight 1v1s against him especially if he gets ahead, it gets tough for Bel'Veth. ”
Yume Minato says “Olaf were proven major threat in most games, because of the slows, attack speed regen, and ult it makes it hard to duel him, most of the times you will have a hard time and only our E can barely help (His true dmg will tear you apart). But with a lead or even gold this will all be about how you do.”
JoltedGeo says “His slow off of his q and armor break is painful but watch out for his healing when he is low. get a distance from him before finishing”
NegativePhoenix says “Challenges you for lifesteal superiority in the early and mid game, but late game can't do much against you even with his ult form up and active. You outspeed his passive attack speed with your own and your E gives you insane healing, more than him even, so he can't really do much to win against you. Just make sure you're able to dodge the engage Q so he doesn't start off with armor shred on you right away.”
CommanderRexy says “Olaf, Kayn, and Master Yi. You can't ult them unless their abilities are down. You still hurt him though, so unless your team feeds them you will be ok.”
Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - EARLY CONTEST IF YOU HAVE A MATE NEAR / GANK WHEN OVEREXTENDED. YOU COUNTERGANK EASILY. CARE HIS R CANCEL YOUR CCs. YOU CAN 1v1 HIM AFTER 1 ITEM.]
[Olaf is ultimately an AAer, but he has so much things that make him resist. His Q shreds your armor, watch out, his W gives him a shield and atkspeed, which helps you more but he can just win if he uses it while your W is on cooldown, his E deals true damage and his R gives him resists, and when activated, gives him more AD and makes him immune to CC. He's like an ADC but with the needed tools to beat you, however you can still try, who knows, maybe you can win. He has no evade since his R requires him to AA.]
[TRUEDMG ATTACKYBRUISER CHAMPION]”
HadesxLH says “Chegando no outro lado da moeda temos o grande Olaf, mesmo estilo do Lee sin early forte mas voce escala melhor com duas diferenças, 1 o gank dele é mais fraco que o do lee entao voce se sai melhor nessa parte e 2 ERRE UMA VEZ e vai ser impossivel para-lo depois, é serio a capacidade que um olaf feedado tem de carregar é incrivel entao certifique-se de ultilizar bem seus ganks e seu mid late e tente nao cometer erros que podem entregar a partida.”
Gobby says “Ult Nullifies your entire kit since its basically all hard CC. possible to win levels 2-5 if you play correctly and he missplays. still shreds your armor with Q and will perma invade when ahead.”
NegativePhoenix says “New Olaf is a pain, way worse than his pre-rework but still manageable. Early game, don't fight him, he'll win every time especially once he hits 6 since your charm will have zero affect against him and you'll be forced to ult to escape him. Mid-Late game is iffy, but he can always shrug off your CC with his ult so be mindful. Without his ult though he's just an easy target.”
Fapas16 says “you cant cc him in his ult so he shits on you without even touching his abilities he can just walk up and braindead auto attack you to death”
quinn adc says “Seems like an impossible matchup post 6, but I classify it as medium if you run phase rush.
First, make sure to side step Olaf's Qs in lane with your harrier procs. If he lands a Q on you and tries running you down, Auto E Auto combo him to proc phase rush and run away.
This keystone provides move speed along with 75% slow resistance, so if Olaf is chasing you down and lands Qs on you, phase rush counters the slow from his axes.
The matchup pre 6 is heavily quinn favoured, so side step his axes and then play the matchup as any other melee matchup, which is be aggressive when olaf misses Q.
He has no gap closers without it, so you can hard trade him.
If you are getting in an intense 1v1 with him, ignite kinda earlier to apply griev wounds to mitigate his W heal and conq heal, and also to proc nimbus cloak from your runes to grant you extra MS.
Now, post 6 Olaf DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT vault olaf while his R is active. If you are extremely low and have no choice, then that is the only time you should vault him when his R is active. The reason you don't is becasue R grants him slow immunity, and so your E will not slow NOR knock olaf back, and that is a critical part about Quinn's vault ability.
How to win post 6 olaf is, when he activates R, instantly proc phase rush by either auto auto auto, OR Auto - Q - Auto. By procing PR, you have slow resistance and insane MS to make his Qs unable to slow you, and enough move speed to out run olaf in his R ability.
Side step the axes if you can, and focus on trying to just run away by procing harriers from passive or q when you can.
NOW, when his 6 second R ends, IMMEDIATELY use vault on olaf, and then re-engage on him because he will have no gap closer without his ult :)
I rush bork here, so you should also save bork active for after his R expires to apply a slow on him. Practice makes perfect for this matchup, but post 6 is actually not bad with phase rush! Just save that E boys until his R expires always.”
duowithdeath says “Piss easy matchup, you out farm out scale and if u have hands u easily kite and one shot. Only window he has is to invade ur red 2:40 so just do the 1:14 ward and take free LP.”
Shro says “Olaf does INSANE damage and his ult completely negates yours. Be very careful about when you choose to fight, and make sure you buy Bramble!”
ZookeeperOCE says “for a good graves this matchup can be very easy abuse your fleet and mobility on your e to kite him out and make sure he doesn't hit you with his e, also use ignite to win the 1 v 1 for the whole game”
evil in says “Olaf is a 50/50 matchup meaning the only thing u have to be careful with is if he maybe invades you in the early game. So just try to farm up as much as u can against him since your jungle clear is much faster than his”
Boptimus says “A rare pick Top, so you would be more likely to come across Olaf in the jungle. Olaf can stick to you with Q and can sustain quite heavily with his W. His R makes it so you can't E or R him away, so your best bet is to go for a full combo to proc Phase Rush, and run away while avoiding his Q.
After using his R he becomes a lot easier to deal with.”
GrayJinxed says “Olaf's main way to chase you is using his thrown axes (Q) to damage and slow you. Use Kindred's Q to avoid getting hit by them otherwise, you will get run down.
If he doesn't have ult, utilise the slow on your E to kite him whilst dodging his Q's.
Be careful when he has ult (R) since he gains movement speed and is immune to your E slow as well as other sources of Crowd Control (CC) on your team. Try to find a wall and jump it whilst also dealing damage to him once Olaf's ult (R) duration is over. ”
TimothyFly says “Not that good in meta right now but his r is kind of annoying for ur q, he can just run u down so ur going to be playing a lot in ur passive which is ok. Just be aware of how u position agaisnt him.”
DarkMareOfficial says “Usually you won't be looking to fight him but if he wants some GIVE HIM SOME!
Tip: When he ults he is the most vurnerable but hurts the most as well. (he loses his bonus armor and mr so with your pen from Q you kind of deal true damage :^))”
Majd1 says “Hard to play against in the earlier stages of the game because of his high damage output. However, if you kite him with auto attacks and spears you should be able to outplay it. Moreover, avoid face checking him or jumping into him with cougar form unless you know that you will finish him off for sure.”
ioprocessing says “An unpopular pick, but he can be really dangerous due to his ult and early strength. It will be hard to ever pick him off or duel him, so look to pick off one of his teammates before a fight if possible”
YoungTact says “Respect his level 1-2 all in potential, can look for harass with Q & Passive but you HAVE to dodge incoming axes or you risk burning sums/flatout dying. Try your best to disengage using e/w respectfully if he gets a series of axes onto you.
For jungle olaf, go the Phase rush build and path to avoid him. Try to build a lead through counter ganks/ganks ”
Xyllow says “Olaf JG is the biggest counter to warwick JG in the game. Period. Your main source of burst damage (your R) does nothing to him as he is unstoppable in his R, his E does true damage and goes through your E. His q slows you and he is stronger than you. The only reason I put him as a 4 instead of a 5 is because he incredibly useless now and out of the meta, so him being a counter doesn't really mean anything. After he gets buffed, and he will, he will be a threat again.”
YEKURA says “His early game is super strong compared to rengar. You can very rarely win a 1v1 against an olaf who knows what hes doing early game. Although if you take ignite you can easily win games.”
Dabgren says “If you q2 into an olaf, please take into consideration he will win any longer trade if he has w, you need to have W in many cases to outplay olaf's axes or just to get out from him, he is a pain in the ass early and it doesn't get much better when he has level 6 and he can R your Dragon's Rage.”
Agatrium says “Real tough lane. The nice thing is, if you don't feed him a lot of kills, then he ends up falling off during teamfights and an underfed Olaf dies relatively quickly to your ADC. Just play it safe here, you don't want to risk a fight into him as you'll likely die unless you're ahead. ”
Consolo says “Not too sure about this matchup, but once an Olaf got pissed off at me and said I picked one of his counters. Countergank, as there won't be a jungle left to counterjungle. You can force him to burn R far away from your carries if you stay distant from them, so give them as much distance as possible to kite and damage him. You can fight him over crab I THINK if you wait out his w and avoid axes. ”
Erdonis1903 says “Olaf can constantly slow you with his Q. Further, he can avoid any engage of you simply by ulting. He is also one of the champs that outsustain your insanely fast & strong engage with Goredrinker and his W.”
Scythe Prince says “auto you to death
if you are playing Rhaast rush steelcaps , executioner's calling and death dance after goredrinker then you can beat him easy in 1v1 situations.”
Zehmox says “has a faster clear then Rek'sai and with his ult he can negate your Knockup preventing you from landing CC. If you snowball you could match/kill him but overall its a hard matchup
”
blulemon says “He is unaffected by your CC and outheals you, thornmail is a must. Try keep objective control as that will most like be your only hope of victory.”
Tiger-Moose says “Even with Phase Rush, it is hard to escape Olaf. His ult only makes that even harder. Don't bother trying to knock him up when he is using his R.
//A lot of the issue with him is that you can't cc him when he uses his R, making it much harder to peel him off your teammates.”
bigbeanboi4 says “Olaf is a champ that can out 1 v 1 you and has a good chance of chasing you down if you don't have any walls to hop, Olaf isn't prevalent in the meta however so not a big deal. ign is super important for 1 v 1, get bramble if becomes a problem. ”
Elekktro says “Olaf beats you down in the early game and most mid game 1v1's. Olaf doesn't have much better ganks than Viego early but will crush you in early fights. If you can get to about 20 minutes without falling too far behind you win.”
Rechnomet says “He can beat Warwick 1V1 and his passive Berserker's Rage, is better than Warwicks "W" Blood Hunt. his Ragnarok ULT is especially good against you.”
J98TheGreat says “Olaf can be a problem if you play it wrong. If you can, Olaf is important to kill before the most crucial fights if at all possible. If it takes a whole team roaming around a minute before the objective to find him, it can go a long way. If he is there in an important fight, however, be wary. Not playing around his ultimate can risk a lot for your team, so you need to either have someone shred him or your team can try to kite him.”
leoviniciux says “Muito bom no 1x1, early game forte e bom clear de jungle. Pode causar lentidão, dano verdadeiro e fica mais forte quando está com vida baixa. Também possui imunidade a controle de grupo e velocidade de movimento adicional com sua ult, por isso detém um gank considerável após o nível 6.”
Brosinex says “Bastante mal emparejamiento. Él puede simplemente correr hacia ti y curar todo tu daño. Otro caso de elise donde afortunadamente nadie lo juega. Sugiero ir en contra de la curación. Yo diría que juegues con tu W, pero su olaf no es así como funciona.”
Da Mastah says “Super dangerous from early to midgame. Try to dodge his q's and don't stand near walls when fighting him as he can reset his cooldowns. Try to accomplish more on the map to keep up with him early.”
Polartech says “Good lane for Kayle, play safe and punish him if he try to overextend too much. Just pay attention to his throwing axe and all will be fine.”
The Elysian1 says “His R is a lot stronger for 1v1s - 1v2s but overall late game you should be more usefull then him. Try to scale or if you have a lead , snowball so he falls off.
”
Sandor Clegane98 says “The bearded viking can pack quite a punch,and for a real good reason,a smart olaf will generally always start q and to try poking you as much as possible,although luckily for you, you still win all ins IF you land your Q otherwise you might get dumpstered,and believe me olaf can snowball real good.When trading in early levels make sure you correctly take time to reposition for the q heal because hes probably gonna keep you slowed will all the q poke,do that and you'll be fine in the long run.If you do get behind plated steelcaps will greatly help reducing the mental distress olaf is causing you,however don't hesitate to take it even when ahead to keep the lead.Post 6 don't bother wasting your E as his ult is cc immune,so save it for when you really need it
Dshield or Dblade.”
KafueLechwe says “Olaf is really powerful against Sion, although not to the extent of Lillia. His R is a counter to all of your kit, and he outduals you and can invade you easily. The best thing to do against an Olaf is to not engage and wait to scale.”
Citric says “Olaf is another great early invader and early duelist. He might full clear his own jungle if you are lucky. He likes to level 1 late invade or even start at the buff you are not doing. Must get an early ward at jungle entrance in this match up. Can also bring ignite and challenging smite to duel him 1v1.”
IMissedMyQ says “Olaf is extremely vulnerable to you pre-6. He usually gets low in the jungle when clearing camps, so use that to your advantage. Don't worry about falling behind in CS, you will never out farm him. Push for an early lead HARD pre-6 and let that carry you through his mid game. DO NOT DUEL HIM PAST 6!!”
Tchouvline says “Olaf's early game is REALLY annoying for Fiddlesticks, his R can completely negate all your kit, so consider playing safe against him.”
Pusi Puu says “Don't risk fights unless his w is down and you can kite him in a bush.
Once he used his w you beat him straight up if you kite him properly and try to dodge his axes. Otherwise he just runs you down without counterplay, so try to play passive early game and outscale him.”
Doubtfull says “Take phaserush in the match up and kite Olaf. There isn't really much he can do. Post 6 he is kind of annoying, as he can cleanse your ult with his own. beware using W in this match up.”
LambWolf says “Olaf is dangerous if you ain't near walls. You can kite him over walls with your q. And try to dodge his axes also. You shred him if he can't heal from you.”
NixLychee says “Pretty weak overall, but his damage is quite high, and he is terrifying at low health. This matchup will probably change after his mini-rework soon.”
LordGrox says “Can ignore your damage and CC with his R and just run you down. Consider getting at least executioners. Fine atm thanks to Olaf being ok at best”
SnowballBarrage says “Used to be a bigger threat, but with phase rush its much easier to run away from him. You can't fight him, or tank many attacks before death(early). Higher clear speed aswell. Care for late invade.”
Riealone says “You can’t duel him. Best you can do is ganking / counterganking and farm. Early game is hard, but after mythic and some armor in midgame you beat him”
Polarshift says “Olaf players tend to fullclear; If you want to fight him at scuttle try to not get hit by his first axe. Burst him down when he's low; since Olaf gains more attack speed and heals more the lower HP he is. Feel free to try and kill Olaf while he is doing his Gromp if he's on Red side of the map and level 2; if so, ask for a good Red buff leash.”
Veralion says “Olaf is one of the undisputed kings of the jungle right now. His Q effortlessly keeps you under control and lets him dictate the fight. Even if you have a sizeable health advantage, he can simply kite you until your E mark and W expire and then slap you silly. However, if he has been keeping himself at 50-60% life for clear speed and tries to fight you straight up, you can one shot him with PtA Ignite and bone plating. This requires him to commit to the fight and essentially misplay, though. A lot of Olafs are used to automatically winning and are meatheads, so this is more likely than you'd think. If he gets fed, avoid and play for late. He can't get much done in the later stages of the game. ”
Doubtfull says “Olaf wins this match up pre-six. You can win after six if you haven't fallen behind, but you need to knock him up before he gets his ult off. This is a VERY difficult match up in high Elo, but probably something you won't see/won't have as much trouble with the farther down the ladder you are.”
nZk01 says “if he doesnt get kills early and snowballs hes kinda useless and he will never be able to kill you bcs of your Q, u can try killing him early on but use ignite when he uses his W so he cant heal off of that and conqueror to win the 1v1 at like 10% hp”
Tormentula says “Olaf is a strong counterpick against Elise. Not only does his Q kill all your spiderlings, but he also outDPSes her and out heals her. When he gets low he gets boosted attack speed and healing, so if you full combo him and he's still alive, he'll just kill you with sustain, kill your spiderlings with Q, and getting away from him is pretty tough. At level 6 there's just no way you ever beat him 1 on 1 as his ultimate will block Cocoon entirely. Best to play away from Olaf and wait for him to fall off late game when he can't run into your whole team without dying fast and there's grevious wounds to deal with his healing. I prefer never to fight him unless its 2v1 at least.”
FREAKSTAR says “Disgusting champion, do NOT let him kill you in your jungle. A good Olaf will invade you, run away with your W, and give up camps in necesary.
Do not let Olaf start the game 5/0 and buy Warrior + Black Cleaver or he will destroy your team. Track his location with wards, ping your teammates, and do not try to 2v2 him. You will lose and give him a double kill.
Outscale him and he's a garbage champion. Just get fed on farm and intelligent ganks. Outrun them farm whatever they dont and if they invade you, invade them opposide side.
Try to get whatever objectives you can, and keep your distance from him in fights so he doesn't run you over with axes.”
LukaBre123 says “Never start a 1v1 fight with this guy if he's level 6. Sejuani is strong and has a lot of CC and enough damage to kill him before level 6, but if Olaf ults he will just ignore everything you throw at him.”
Doubtfull says “This match up is really hard for Fiddle. He can ignore your CC and facetank your damage, AND invade you early game. Try to ward out his invades and get your lanes ahead. when his ult is down you can kill him very easily, as he rarely actually builds merc treads.”
Arfreezy says “A very strong farming jungler that has a powerful early game as well. This matchup can be countered by taking Phase Rush to deny axe slows and Ignite or Exhaust to deny the all in. Always take Red Smite here since Blue Smite is useless against Olaf's immunity to CC. If you can solo him early you will win pretty easily since Olaf has terrible scaling. Make sure to kite properly and you should never die to Olaf in a 1v1.”
Goldenstinger says “Alot of fiddle mains have issues with this match up. Just use vision to avoid him and waste his time. Hard farm and ping your laners. You outscale hard. Try and Counter gank when u hit 6+. Most olafs get cocky because of early game power - use this against them to snowball and waste their time. ”
Zekrow says “Cannot be CC'd when he ults.
Also has insane low HP lifesteal which makes him really difficult to deal with in the jungle and lategame.
Overall an unpleasant matchup.”
Asternova says “RUNES: Phase Rush all the way.
ITEMS: Morellonomicon. Zhonya's Hourglass. Plated Steelcaps if necessary.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Olaf is an early game champion, stay away from him unless your team is coming to help. DON'T waste your ult on him since he'll just negate it with his own, use it on his teammates or on him after his R effect is gone. Phase Rush is the best way to deal with him because of his Q slow, try using your movement speed to dodge some his axes to reduce his damage. He falls of greatly late game, meaning that getting to that stage in the game is already a huge advantage for you.”
MiningRicK says “Olaf`s ult makes him unstoppable and that will ruin you, because you have so much CC what makes you to a good Ganker and now you can`t do anything with your abilities.”
Insightful says “well olaf can literally just run you down after 6, he farms really fast aswell so this is not a good matchup, try to avoid fighting 1v1 and play with your team, he eventually falls off”
Insightful says “this is also a very good ban for sejuani, he hard wins early and his ulti blocks your entire kit and he can also do true damage.. unplayable matchup”
poopyOCE says “His R counters ur R, and he can melt you, and chase you. Early game he always wins and you CANNOT 1v1 him, just E then reactivate E then run. If he ults from your Fear, use R over a wall and run. Your kit does negate his passive, so try to use that as your advantage otherwise.”
SaltCat says “He wins 1v1 early game, just avoid him , he can r your charm , but he still gets the negative mr debuff, dont get afraid if he r your charm , you can still kill him”
sonminh says “Don't fight this guy early; he will win no matter what. Avoid 2v2 also. AP control and bruiser is useless against him later into the game. AP or AD burst is best into him. If he's strong, play front to back. If not, play back to front.”
NamaeWaMitsurii says “Id like to sum this matchup with the word "Dodge."
He does very large amounts of damage for the amazing anti-cc he has. His life steal and healing is crazy. BEWARE.”
FREAKSTAR says “I don't really like playing Fiddle into Olaf, he has too many options to run you down and kill you. He's faster, stronger, and tankier than you are. You will need to out scale him, and focus on fighting his teammates while avoiding him. Zhonya is a good item against him to wait out his ULT duration.”
Coorowko says “Most annoying champ to play against, he can ignore all of you cc and run you down. If you can bully him early with the help of your team it greatly diminishes his threat. You need to force his ult or catch him out with your team, otherwise his healing and cc immunity will abdolutely destroy Sej. Ban every time, easily Sej's number one counter. ”
poopyOCE says “Runs you down, denies all your CC with his Ult, melts you. Avoid any 1v1 and confrontations. Q and disengage. If he R, glhf. You have better teamfight potential.”
Karasmai says “Very similar to the Lee sin matchup or rek sai or trundle, he will be very strong early game but either form will hard outscale around 15-20 minutes so just dont die to him and if he wants dragons you can let him take those just make sure you get form and make it to 15-20 mins.”
MexBookMaster says “Olaf es un campeón que limpia bien y es totalmente de Juego temprano. Juega a countergankear y farmea mucho, si no saca ventaja en el juego temprano entonces decae muchísimo.”
BullwhipGriffin says “Olaf Pre level 6 is no threat, try to dodge his axes though and keep your "E" damage reduction up as long as you can until you see him starting to disengage. After level 6 do not ult him until his ult runs out, need to red smite to survive 1v1 post level 6.”
ak521 says “A decent ban because it is impossible to outplay him alone. He counters your CC with his R, and deals true damage. His dueling power and early game power will make you cry (pun intended). He also has a lot of health and is hard to take down because he has healing.. kind of makes your team focus him instead of someone else in fights.”
Dabgren says “If you q2 into an olaf, please take into consideration he will win any longer trade if he has w, you need to have W in many cases to outplay olaf's axes or just to get out from him, he is a pain in the ass early and it doesn't get much better when he has level 6 and he can R your Dragon's Rage.”
Rhoku says “Olaf is impossible to beat without Ghost. And even with Ghost, if you get hit by his axes you are even more of a free kill for him. Trust me when I tell you that if you don't dodge his axes, you are DEAD. You have to dodge at least one of them and you cannot afford to miss your abilities. Not to mention how he has straight up more DPS than you. It is all about his axes. If he lands them all, you die. If you dodge them, you kill him. On the bright side, you outscale him. Once you put him down, he will STAY down and be worthless as you slaughter his entire team.”
Insightful says “Olaf is a natural counter to tank junglers due to the nature of his kit, he has a very fast clear, true damage and an ulti that makes him invulnerable to any form of crowd control for a few seconds, this is a good ban if you want to play amumu”
izzlelol says “Pretty bad matchup. He can just run at you and heal all your damage. Another elise case where luckily no one plays him. I suggest going anti-heal. I would say to play around your W but its olaf that isn't how it works.”
OsakaSatang says “Conc+inspiration
He is a really strong enemy to 1v1 if he manage to hit all his axes but 1v1 is doable before level 6. You will eventually outscale him really hard so i don't recommend conflips.”
ChirasaTheQueen says “Biggest counter, really hard to deal with because of his ult, I recommend not fighting him and instead focusing on lanes where he isn't.”
Lambda Diana says “He builds goredrinker does more damage while low on hp and draintanks the fuck out of you. Make sure to have anit heal you will out scale him but early game try not to fight him with out a team mate he can also use Ult to get out of Diana ult. ”
Penguto says “You cant 1v1 Olaf since he has a 1v1 potential better than you with his insane lifesteal, also his ultimate can ignore your fear, if you want a chance at 1v1ing him take ignite.”
colingogo says “As long as you don't die to him early, you out scale REALLY hard. Give up camps if you need to, but after six you can usually kill him with your team.”
SketchtheHunter says “Olaf's ultimate acts as a free QSS for him. Fuck this guy. Tons of lifesteal and early pressure. Avoid early and just focus on outscaling.”
Soulreaperjin says “Long as you can beat him by invading him on his either Red or Blue where he is, but you have to set your eyes on minimap when he ganks because he can easily get kills with just Q and E. Try to out scale him much as humanly possible because otherwise it requires 3 people to kill him at all.”
FrostForest says “One of the harder matchups but loses value once behind
Has a stronger early game then you and will beat you 1v1 but he has no dashes and you will outscale after 6 if the game is even
R him with your team around and force his flash
Your champ is more useful later on”
Maintained says “Phase rush is a must in this match up, as it stops Olaf from being able to run over you anytime he takes a look at you. Being able to avoid fighting him is a huge bonus, as Olaf will want to make as big an impact on the early game before he falls off a cliff. You can't stop him from doing whatever he wants to do though so you're going to have to give up some stuff to Olaf. You're a much better champion than he is in teamfights.”
Suseri says “Has a Strong early, try to Dodge his Axes. You start beating him with a few items. You can also just run away from him after you get 6 since he cannot slow you in your Ult.”
manco1 says “Olaf has good clear is insane and is just over all a great jungler against Teemo. He is a good ban option especially since there isn't much you can do against his level 6. ”
RichMrFork says “If Olaf was a better pick in the meta at the moment then this would be a 5 matchup. Olaf is a early game monster, has great objective control simply because of his ability to run people down with axes and clutch plays with his W. You will almost never be able to deter an Olaf from an objective solo and will likely end up giving early dragons and rift heralds unless one lane is hard winning. Your best chance to win here is getting your lanes ahead. An Olaf with 2 or 3 losing lanes is extremely hard to play as. Denying Olaf early game pressure is key to beating him so look for smart plays around the map.”
Kayn Mains says “Terrible matchup for Kayn early game. Avoid him as much as you can and only look for counterganks.
During mid game it becomes possible to beat Olaf in a duel if he is behind, otherwise continue to avoid him.
It is best to go Rhaast into this matchup. After getting Red Smite together with Black Cleaver you have a solid chance at beating him. Make sure to use your Umbral Trespass (R) during Olaf's ultimate to wait out most of it's duration and deny him from lifestealing off you.”
LilPaniniUwU says “You will not win a 1v1 vs. Olaf if he has one braincell, and he can chase you down with his ult and axes. Not a fun matchup, one of my personal favorite bans.
”
metalhydra273 says “Even when not meta, Olaf is the hardest counter to Skarner directly by far. His ult and the threat of it mitigats anything you have to offer and he stomps you 1v1. If you face him hope you have a team that can deal with him as he falls off late. If you manage to wait out his ult or if he wastes it, he should have a hard time if you pick him off with your own ult, but you're usually better off just searching for other targets unless it's a prime situation and you know it's down. Watch out for possible invades throughout the game, and try to keep him from getting the early need he wants to 1v9 the game.”
Jinx_48 says “Tbh idk what go on his maybe red form but i play againts fed olaf red form and he easly winning with me btu if i play oklaf againts kayn blue form he one shoting me so. ”
LilPaniniUwU says “Terrible matchup for Kayn early game. Avoid him as much as you can and only look for counterganks.

”
XtheZ115 says “To be blunt, Olaf freaking sucks. His slow lasts far too long and his ult prevents you from flinging him (note that the damage still goes through, so you should fling him if you can), and his lifesteal makes it hard to bully him out of lane. Proxy farming is recommended. ”
Ejsner says “Conqueror suggested. Olaf has always been a pretty rough matchup for Rengar. Rengar leaps, Olaf Q's him, slows him which makes it so Rengar can't get back to bushes, and he will just chase you with Q and kill you. And if he was to get low hp, he can just W and lifesteals up all of the damage you do to him.
Very tough matchup.”
PhoenxFlyr says “He is durable and has an unstoppable, it will be hard to kill him, if you see him before 6 and you have your lv 3 combo then try to kill him, if you do and have decent health then invade, try to mess up his early game. if you fail then just run when you see him coming after you.”

Very tough matchup.”
Nanelol says “He can block your Charm (W) with his Ultimate (R). He will win every 1vs1 pre your 6. If you ever run into the situation and he hits his Axe then you will have to flash out or die. Also do not underestimate his sustain, with that said don't greed to use your ultimate on him.”
Nanelol says “Weak all ins if he misses his first Q, his passive attack speed and lifesteal won't matter early because of your finishing burst. If he survives your combo you may be in a predicament however, which makes late game fights with Olaf more difficult to near impossible. Even duelist builds will struggle to keep up with his insane healing.”
Eagzey says “His Q kills our boxes, and he's a strong dueler at every stage of the game while being tanky. Can definitely invade him early if he's AFK full-clearing. Need Ignite to win 1v1.”
HVfun says “Olaf recently has been nerfed a few times, but it's still now a great matchup. He out ganks you early, out farms you the whole game, and out duels your if he invades. ”
qosmox says “The first 2 levels is just about surviving and farming safely. He’s strong in all-in’s and his axe throwing can easily chase you down if you ever taunt him without killing him.Lvl 3-5 you can manage short trades whenever you got everything up. Deny his tradeback with W and just run back after the short trade. Repeat this until he’s low enough that you can kill him with 1 rotation, be wary of his lifesteal while low. Again, important: Never taunt forward unless he’s basically dead. He’s an easy gank pre-6.”
Maverka88 says “He can block your W with his R. And hard destroy you before lv 6. Dont get hit by axe in early levels or you are dead. Also do not underestimate his sustain. Better use your R on 100hp target than riskin your life .”
MrMeem45 says “If you can dodge his Q's, you should beat him. If not, he's a 5. A smart olaf player (stop laughing) will never let you take any of your camps or objectives. You outscale him eventually, but be careful early on.”
Doubtfull says “You can't really threaten to kill him but you can protect your team from his dives which makes him useless in teamfights later on unless he gets too far ahead. ”
PK Noob says “He can cheese you while your still doing your first camps any kill you at any point in the game by pressing r. Avoid fighting him even in teamfights. Go for his team instead or by the time you take him down your team will already be half dead.”
legendtomi1 says “Olaf Pre level 6 is no threat, try to dodge his axes though and keep your "E" damage reduction up as long as you can until you see him starting to disengage. After level 6 do not ult him until his ult runs out, need to red smite to survive 1v1 post level 6.”

(RU: Ужасный матч для Кайна в начале игры. Избегайте его как можно больше и ищите только контрганки. В середине игры становится возможным победить Олафа в поединке, если он отстает, в противном случае продолжайте избегать его. Лучше всего пойти в этот матч с Раастом. После получения Красного Удара вместе с Черным Тесаком у вас есть солидный шанс победить его. Обязательно используйте свое Umbral Trespass (R) во время ультиматума Олафа, чтобы переждать большую часть его продолжительности и лишить его возможности украсть у вас жизнь.)
”
Cryastro says “You can kite him pretty easily but when he has ult you can't stun him but when he ults he loses his bonus armour and MR granted by his R passive making him easy to kill.”
EUWRATS says “Olaf is one of the strongest junglers in the current patch which makes super strong against heca due to his perma Q slow and insane healing from items like goredrinker, recommend banning”
Strike1 says “Olaf is quite similar to trundle for kindred. However I wouldn't put him as a tiny threat.
Kindred dances around olaf, if olaf chooses to ult to close the gap and remove the slow. Kindred can answer back with her own R. Once the olaf R is over kindred can use her third auto to finish the job and use her dashes to kite him once again.
However, if olaf is rly fed he can still be a problem unlike trundle who struggles to close the gap no matter what,”
GuillaumeP84 says “Don't fight him in early game but try to fight him lvl 6 if he has under 75 % health. After first item, you will perma loose 1 vs 1 so rush anti-healing.”
Bingolyzed says “He has a major early game advantage and can take dragons and out 1v1 you almost always. It is best to respect his early game and track him on the map. Bramble Vest is good against him.”
Caled says “Olaf thrives on early game skirmishes and can out-trade pretty much any jungler within the early mid-game. Combine this with the fact that Kayn has one of the weakest early games and you have yourself a recipe for disaster. You must respect Olaf’s strength in the early and mid game and pretty much avoid him at ALL costs. Only ever try fighting Olaf in a 1v1 if he is behind and you are going Rhaast. A great tip to know fighting into Olaf is to use your Umbral Trespass (R) to stall out the use of his ultimate. It is recommended to go Red Smite into Olaf as it decreases the damage he will deal in the beginning of skirmishes. Another great item to buy into Olaf is Black Cleaver as it gives you the ability to fight him in an extended fight. ”
Loul_60 says “Really annoying mid game. Early game you can easily stay away from him and take advantage of his low-health clear. Late game, as long as you go Red form, you should be able to kill him, just spend as much time as possible running away while he ults (or use your ult and stay in it for longer).”
litecrunch says “If somebody picks olaf then they want to do their best to carry the game early. He will be even in farm, have more objective pressure, and be able to kill you in an invade. If you know where he is going to start then path away from him to give you the best chance of surviving early and making it to the mid game. The ultimate goal is to tell your teammates where he will be and making it to 20 minutes when he will get outscaled.”
liserith says “Olaf is an early game monstrosity, but you can duel him at any point in the game. Make sure you don't let him get the jump on you and practice kiting. His ult lets him ignore your E, but he will still take the damage from its third hit. ”
Boeoeoeoe says “No dash and a good engage, can't fight against him. If the game last long you can have some chance to win, but in early game he will destroy you.”
ZolaGorgonzola says “Can escape from you fear and ultimate after 6. Save your Q for healing yourself and try to fear him when he gets low so he doesn't use his increased attack speed. I always run Ignite into this matchup.”
Gumipapucs says “Ugh.
You can fight him pre-6 with extreme caution.
He also likes to get low HP in his first jungle clears, so you can catch him if you track him right and grab a freebie, but after 6 he can just run you down, use walls and don't try to engage him alone unless you are fed. Kiting is mandatory in every situation against him as he will have BS huge lifesteal on autos.”
Shinkutsune says “This bad boy presses R and runs down at you, with no counterplay if you are alone. You have your fountain timing to take a coffee at least.”
chevy the sloot says “Farms as fast as you but has less presence. Ward drake and punish his early drake power if you happen to have pressure (if not is okay to give him early drakes). You out scale him hard just make sure to respect his early and snowball after 6.”
c0st0m says “one of the very few matchup where i'd say phase rush is actually good
he can cleanse lillia sleep with his ult, as long as you dont get hit by his q you should be fine to kite him”
Shroomen Rider says “Teemo suffers because the new jungle item does not have On Hit damage, but Olaf doesn't. He out clears you and he can run you down.
Try not to fight him without help unless you catch him from invis. ”
Tinjus says “You can fight him easily at all stages of the game, and since he has no hard CC he poses no threat to you in any stage of the game. Just make sure not to face-tank his hard hitting auto attacks.”
Udyr uber says “É muito complicado de ganhar dele, se estiver de conquistador.
O kit dele é muito quebrado contra o Udyr.
Mas dá de matar ele algumas vezes antes do Level 6
Isso se você conseguir desviar dos machados dele.
Recomendo: Navalha sangrenta+Tabi ninja”
Medieval_Ducky25 says “Olaf can invade Gragas' jungle and set him back in such a way that he can't recover. Make sure to ward your jungle, avoid Olaf early on, and make sure he doesn't snowball.”
DarnuS says “Olaf's early game is very strong. If you fall behind, its pretty much over for you.
His ultimate counter your whole combo. So avoid 1v1'ing him.
You outscale him tho.”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Very broken in the meta. Extremely strong early game, and can delete your health. Bully him pre-6 before he gets his R. Bring PTA and try to cheese him by staying away and poking him to proc PTA, and then take his camps so you get ahead in gold and xp.”
AyeJa3 says “ Do not ever attempt to fight him unless you have overwhelming odds on your side. His Q effortlessly keeps you under control and lets him dictate the fight. Even if you have a health advantage, he can still kite you until your E mark and W expire and then will simply kill you right then and there.”
Spails says “Olaf's ultimate makes an almost impossible to win 1v1 scenario. Your Q and R are worthless for CC while he's in ult, leaving you powerless to stop him.”
PsiGuard says “Olaf can stat-check you even if you play the 1v1 perfectly, and post-6 he can ignore your fear. Avoid fighting him 1v1 and be wary of invades. He doesn't scale well, so if he can't get super strong early, you can carry through ganks in the early-mid game. Take Ignite instead of Flash if you want a chance at 1v1ing him, or just try to avoid duels. If you fight him pre-6, save for fear for when he's low on health, since that's when he's most dangerous.”
Bel37 says “He wins the pre 11 1v1's so i dont recommend to 1v1 him if even on gold. But you outscale him hard so just farm and try to counter jungle. executioners is good if he is ahead.”
WILK3HHH says “Conqueror, this champion have slow on q so its really hard to fight with him and he have life steal from w as well so he can just chase you down with his q”
JunglerBuilds says “Early game you have an advantage, but later he can engage and you cannot stop him. Watch out for his engage, or engage before him! You have stronger ganks, as he has no hard CC.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Stack health as soon as possible since he deals true damage, also wait for his ult to run out and then burn your CC onto him. Group with your team and prevent him from getting onto your backline by stopping him from picking up axes he throws. You have to ward everything early he will come into your jungle to kill you 100% so be cautious and don't give him free kills, he snowballs hard. This is the toughest matchup for Amumu so don't get discouraged, good luck! ”
ChaseMorePlz says “Respect his damage and his passive; the lower he is the deadlier he gets. He can also run through you and your team and you can't do very much about it if he uses his Ult correctly. Try to focus him down before he destroys your back line.”
