Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Olaf's superior all-in damage and Q spam sustain.
- At level 6, you win if you can manage Mega form properly and kite his R engage with your enhanced range and CC.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves poking with Q while maintaining maximum range, then using W for movement speed to disengage before Olaf can close the gap.
- Never commit to extended trades in Mini form as his sustained damage and lifesteal will overwhelm you.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Olaf easy all-ins while farming safely with Q.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision and Mega form ready, as Olaf excels at running you down in long lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Olaf when he has R available and you're in Mini form, as you have no escape tools and he becomes unstoppable.
- Avoid trading when your Rage bar is low, as getting caught transforming during his engage is often fatal.
