Who Wins
- Pre-6, Olaf wins every extended trade and most short trades — his W gives him sustain, his passive makes him faster when low, and your Q slow is not enough to disengage safely if he commits; post-6, your R makes you untargetable to his E and removes his ability to stick with slows, which fundamentally shifts the matchup in your favor at range.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to Q him to slow his approach, auto from max range, and immediately back off — never let him get more than 2–3 autos on you, and save your R for when he all-ins rather than using it defensively on poke trades.
Wave Control
- Push the wave consistently to deny him the ability to all-in you under open lane conditions — a shoved wave forces him to farm under tower, which limits his aggressive windows and lets you safely back or roam without losing pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use your R preemptively out of fear when he walks up — wasting R on a fake engage leaves you completely vulnerable to his real all-in for the full cooldown, which at early levels is long enough to get you killed.
