Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and sustained damage with Q, as Olaf lacks gap closers and must walk through your damage zone.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R provides strong disengage and repositioning tools while Olaf's R doesn't solve his core issue of reaching you.
How to Trade
- You want to poke with Q when Olaf goes for CS, then use W to kite backwards if he tries to all-in with axes.
- Your optimal trade is Q poke → auto → E slow → W movement speed to create distance, forcing him to disengage or take more Q damage.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Olaf's all-in potential while maximizing your poke opportunities.
- Hard shoving is risky since it gives Olaf opportunities to run you down in the long lane without minion interference.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid getting hit by multiple Q axes in succession, as the cooldown reduction and slow will allow Olaf to gap close and stick to you.
- Never fight Olaf when he has W active and high health, as his lifesteal and attack speed make extended trades heavily favor him.
