Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Olaf's superior base damage and sustain from W, but can start winning extended trades around level 3-4 when you have multiple points in Q for tornado setups.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you can dodge his Q with E dashes and use R to negate his damage burst.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using E through minions to gap close, landing Q1-Q2 for tornado setup, then E-Q3-auto-E out to avoid his retaliation.
- Never trade when your tornado is down as Olaf will simply run you down with Q spam and autos.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to create long lanes for extended trades where your mobility shines.
- Avoid hard shoving as Olaf can easily run you down in short lanes, and you need minions for E mobility.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Olaf in short trades or when he has full health and W available, as his sustain and base damages will out-trade you.
- Don't waste your E dashes carelessly as they're your only escape tool when he activates R and becomes unstoppable.
