Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through consistent turret poke and zone control, but lose post-6 if Olaf lands Q and runs you down with R active.
- His early all-ins are dangerous if he connects Q, so respect his engage potential.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is positioning behind turrets and using W-E combo when he approaches, then backing off to let turrets finish the trade.
- Never try to out-sustain him in extended fights, as his W healing will outlast your damage.
Wave Control
- Set up a defensive turret triangle and maintain slow pushes to keep waves in favorable positions.
- Avoid hard pushing without vision, as this leaves you vulnerable to ganks and Olaf's dive potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't place all turrets in one cluster, as his Q can hit multiple turrets and you simultaneously.
- Avoid fighting without your E available, as you need the stun to create distance when he commits with R.
