Graves vs Olaf Matchup Summary

The Graves vs Olaf matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 13 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 53.9% win rate compared to Olaf's 46.1%, giving Graves a 7.7 percentage point advantage. Graves dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Olaf players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Olaf leads by 753 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Graves players can confidently pick into Olaf and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Olaf away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
2.2Graves

Damage
755Graves
571Olaf

Sustain
855Graves
1,609Olaf
