Olaf Tips
- Olaf is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Olaf has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Olaf has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover through self-healing.
- Olaf has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- Olaf has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Olaf has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Olaf has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
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.
