Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades if you land Q outer ring and stack passive, but Olaf's Q spam and sustain make extended trades risky.
- Post-6 you have kill pressure with R execute, but Olaf's R makes him immune to your E pull during his ultimate.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades with W auto-reset into Q outer ring, then back off before Olaf can stick to you with axes.
- Extended trades favor Olaf due to his sustain and attack speed, so aim for burst patterns with passive stacks.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to establish lane priority, then look to freeze near your tower where Olaf struggles to all-in safely.
- Avoid slow pushing into Olaf as he can run you down in extended lanes with his axes and sustain.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Olaf through minions where he can pick up axes easily and sustain back up.
- Avoid trading when he has multiple axes available as his DPS becomes overwhelming even through your passive armor.
