Learn how to play with Olaf with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Olaf activates his R (Ragnarok), he becomes immune to crowd control and gains movement speed toward enemies. Instead of trying to peel for him, focus on following up on his engage or targeting different enemies.
Team Fight Skirmish
Olaf's Q reduces enemy champion armor by 20% for 4 seconds. When he lands his axe on enemy champions at medium range, prioritize physical damage follow-up to maximize this debuff.
Skirmish Team Fight
When jungling with Olaf top, path toward top side around levels 3-4 as this coincides with Olaf's strong early trading pattern. His Q slow makes ganks highly effective against immobile opponents.
Lane Phase
When Olaf reaches level 6, look for opportunities to engage from flanking positions. His ability to ignore CC with his ultimate makes him deadly when approaching from unexpected angles.
Skirmish
Olaf's R (Ragnarok) duration extends when he attacks or uses E on enemy champions at short range. When he activates his ultimate, help him stay in range of enemies to maximize its duration and impact.
Team Fight Skirmish
Save your crowd control abilities for after Olaf engages with his Q and ultimate. This creates a staggered disable chain as enemies try to escape after his initial attack at short to medium range.
Skirmish Team Fight
Olaf gains up to 100% bonus attack speed and 25% lifesteal when at lower health due to his passive. Don't panic and waste healing resources if he's fighting at low health - he's often stronger in this state.
Basic Skirmish Team Fight
Olaf falls off in the late game as enemies build defensive items. After 25 minutes, consider providing more peel and protection for him during teamfights as he becomes more vulnerable.
Advanced Late Game Team Fight
When Olaf throws his Q (which can reach medium range), watch if he retrieves his axe. If he doesn't pick it up, he's much less mobile for the next 6-9 seconds, making him vulnerable to counterattacks.
Advanced Skirmish
Olaf excels at diving the enemy backline with his ultimate. When he goes in, either follow him to help eliminate priority targets or use the distraction to attack the enemy frontline.
