Olaf Mid and Late Game

What Olaf does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

  • Olaf heals a lot (percentile 90): extended fights and sieges favor Olaf.
  • Side-lane pressure pays: Olaf rates 87/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
  • Olaf soaks damage well (percentile 85): stand between the enemy and your carries.
  • Play around dragons, Grubs and Baron — Olaf rates 82/100 for objective control.
  • Olaf wins 7.1 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.

Playing Olaf

  • Olaf can combine Berserker Rage, Vicious Strikes, and Ragnarok at low life to become deceptively strong.
  • The bonus healing granted by Vicious Strikes amplifies your Life Steal from all sources as well as heals from allies.

Playing Against Olaf

  • Olaf becomes more dangerous the lower life he is. Save your disables to finish him off.
  • Preventing Olaf from reaching his axe will minimize the amount of harassment he can cause in the laning phase.
  • Olaf has reduced defenses from damage during Ragnarok, despite being immune to disables. If you can't escape from Olaf during Ragnarok, try focusing your damage on him with your teammates.
