How to beat Olaf

Common role: Top / Jungle

A relentless juggernaut who becomes immune to CC and chases you to death.

What makes Olaf dangerous

Olaf throws an axe (Q) that slows hard and, if he picks it up, refunds its cooldown for endless slows. He gains lifesteal and attack speed (W), deals bonus true damage (E), and his ultimate makes him immune to all crowd control while chasing. If he sticks to you, you cannot CC your way out.

How to play against Olaf

• 1Dodge his axe (Q) — if he misses and can't pick it up, he loses his slow and chase.
• 2Don't rely on CC during his ult; it makes him immune, so kite with terrain and range.
• 3Poke him from range; he has no gap-closer besides walking to his axe.
• 4Bring Frozen Heart/armor and disengage — his E is true damage, so raw HP helps most.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No mobility or dash — pure ranged kiting beats him.
• ✓If he misses or loses his axe, he can't stick to you.
• ✓His ult grants no defensive stats — burn him down while immune.
• ✓Weak to disengage and terrain that breaks his chase.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Olaf's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  狂战之怒

  奥拉夫基于已损失生命值获得攻击速度和生命偷取。

  Strong: gains attack speed as his health drops, hitting hardest when low. Weak: he's still low health — burst him before he turns the fight.

• Q
  逆流投掷

  奥拉夫将战斧投至目标区域，对所有被战斧穿过的敌人造成伤害并削减他们的护甲和移动速度。如果奥拉夫捡起斧头，那么该技能冷却时间就会重置。

  Strong: a hard-slowing axe that refunds its cooldown when he picks it up. Weak: dodge it — if he can't retrieve the axe he loses his slow and chase.

• W
  挺过去

  奥拉夫的攻击速度得到提升，并获得一层护盾。

  Strong: lifesteal and attack speed sustain him through trades. Weak: Grievous Wounds cuts the healing hard.

• E
  鲁莽挥击

  奥拉夫以破釜沉舟之势发动进攻，对目标造成真实伤害（不受护甲与魔抗减免），同时，自身也会根据敌方所受的伤害而受到真实伤害的反噬。

  Strong: deals true damage that ignores all your armor. Weak: it costs him health to cast — race him down when he's low.

• R
  诸神黄昏

  奥拉夫被动获得护甲和魔法抗性提升。他可以激活这个技能来变得免疫控制效果，并且会在他保持攻击时一直持续。

  Strong: makes him immune to all crowd control while chasing. Weak: it grants no defensive stats — burn him down and kite with terrain instead of CC.

Itemization

Kiting and disengage beat him; hard CC is useless during his R. Armor and health (his E is true damage) plus range and terrain win the matchup.
