Olaf Matchups Overview

Olaf General information

Olaf tips and tricks

Try and force a fight at level 1 to force the enemy laner to burn through their health potions early.

Use your Ultimate RagnarokR frequently to force the enemy to use Summoner Spells. Your Ultimate RagnarokR has a low cooldown compared to other bruisers, so don’t be afraid to make plays.

In team fights, look to focus the frontline and keep your teammates alive. If you are fed or are strong, look to take down the enemy backline instead.
