Hes very easy , you can easily escape his CC with your ult and he has nothing to escape so you can spam your Q to beat him out of Lane.
Darius
He is one of the hardest matchups because he will punish you for every mistake you make. He will use everytime you want to trade him his Q to push you back. Just dont try to trade him and wait for your jungler to help. And even if you go 3/0/0 you cant trade him or even kill him because his basic dmg is to high.
Dr. Mundo
It will be a matchup that is even. He cant kill you and you cant kill him. But if he makes the mistake and try to farm with his basic attacks you need to punish him and lower his HP on the minimum. He has no escape and cant dodge your Q so you can easily trade or even follow him up.
Ekko
If you dont do any mistakes it will be a good laning phase but you need to becareful in Mid-Game because he will be stronger . In late you are stronger and you dont need to becareful because in this meta both of you will go tanky and noone can beat the other one down that fast. Just becareful of his stunfield and try to dodge his Q.
Fiora
Easy matchup. You can easy poke her , you should punish her and kill her if she wants to farm. Just dont use your E when she uses her E.
Gangplank
If he plays very safe you cant do very much. But you should be able to get your farm. But you can try to kill him because he can only use his W once but you will spam your Q to slow him down over and over again.
Garen
Hes not that hard. You win trades, but dont let your guard down and show him your back and run , because he will just follow you up with his Spin. Just punish him like always if he wants to farm. But if you both of you do even dmg, dont trade or fight him because dont forgett his Ult is strong and can punish your offensive trades.
Gnar
Vs Gnar its a easy matchup , your Q is dealing super much dmg and if you can time his passive (Gnar=Mega Gnar) you can trade him more easy because if he goes into Mega Gnar you can easily kill him without his E escape.
Graves
You need to becareful because he can poke you always down, better you just stay safe and dont get poked even if you lose farm. Always try to get the exp and try to last hit with your Q but dont lose to much mana because you need it if your jungler comes. If your jungler ganks you can easy kill him.
Hecarim
Hecarim is not that hard but you should becarefiö of his sustain and dont overextend. You dont play often vs Hecarim toplane so you dont know much about this matchup but mostly you can get him as easy as the most meele champs. And dont follow him to deep.
Illaoi
Illaoi is very easy. If you fight her you will see its like a little war , everything will blow up next to you , if its your mate or her. Both of you have a chance to kill everything or nothing. But in a simple 1v1 youre stronger just keep spaming your Q and dodge her Q!
Irelia
Irelia is very hard from LvL 1-5 after that you will be stronger and you can easy trade. Just dont let her kill you before 6. Her stun is broken! After 6+ you just Ult her Stun and shes done. But becareful dont all in to early because she will easily outplay you with her Q if minions are near. So dont throw your Q into nothing and wait until she makes her moves.
Jarvan IV
Jarvan is not that hard but dont dive if he couldve ult up. Even if you have flash it will block a big area. But in lane he cant do anything. His dmg is not big enough to harm you and you will just crush his armor away.
Jax
Before LvL 6 he can kill you easy if you dont dodge his E. But if he failts it you have a free trade. After LvL 6 you can trade him but only before he got his Core items like Rageblade+Trinity.
Kayle
Kayle can be an easy matchup if you hit your poke. You mostly need to stay under your tower and you miss farm. But if you get poked you will be more behind. After you reached LvL 3 you have a big power spike because your spells are stronger together than hers and you can try to all in her if she pushed far enough. After LvL 6 its the same , you can easily beat her away so she cant farm without her E. And dont fear her Ultimate because it doesnt matter if you can play safe and offensive at the same time (see description).
Kennen
Kennen is a matchup where you couldve get behind. He is the matchup with the biggest poke. He will try to poke you constant and he will stay very aggressive so ask your jungler to gank once and if you kill him , you got the lane for you. If he dont gank you need to do it solo. With LvL 6 you got a power spike where you can try to kill him. But becareful if you are not full HP dont try it . And only try it if he has no Armor.
Lissandra
Lissandra is like kennen a matchup where your oppenent will try to poke you. Dont let them hit you and stay safe until you get LvL 6. After that you can play aggressive and beat them away. Just all in them and get yourself fed.
Lulu
Lulu is not that hard with her poke. But you cant trade her. If you want to kill her all in her , it is possible after you got LvL 3.
Malphite
Malphite is not that hard to lane against. But the trades can be difficult because his E will shut your attackspeed very hard down. Just try to Q him and E him after that. If you do so constantly you will. And if he overstay because you already pushed him back, you can try to all in him. But only if hes not to tanky.
Maokai
Maokai is an easy matchup. Just poke him down if he wants to farm and shut im down in early. If he dont play his lane well he will be useless in late.
Nasus
Like in every matchup vs Nasus dont let him stack up his Q! You can easy trade him away from the creeps but becareful and dont push him under tower , because he can farm there and you dont have any chances of poking him. The trades are easy just do the normal spam Q and always E him. Dont be scared of his W because you have your Ult to stop it.
Nautilus
You can easy out trade him but becareful that he dont stun you when youre in middle of a minionwave because they can make very much dmg. But you can couter him out in early game and after LvL 6 you will punish him for everything. Your ultimate will make him cry.
Pantheon
Dont trade him to early. After LvL 3 you can try to trade him but becareful of his passive , it can decide the whole fight.
And dont let him poke you , better miss some farm instead of taking to much dmg.
Poppy
After she got nerfed she is not that hard to play against. Her charge stun is still the most powerful at poppy but with your Ult you can kill her easy. Just dont let her hit her Ult on your , Press your Ult first. And dont let her hit her Passive to often. But in meele if she wants to farm you can trade her safe without losing to much HP.
Quinn
Quinn is a tricky matchup, you can get kited very easy because of her Q and E. You need to know where she runs if youre blind because of her Q , if you dont dont try to fight her. If she want to E (Jump) you , try to hit your E and Q her after it. Dont trade her because in the end of the trade she can do some more dmg because shes a ranged enemy. Dont let her auto attack you , even if you miss farm.
Rammus
Hes a difficult enemy. Olaf relys on his auto attacks and Rammus counters him out with his W. Keep spaming your E on Rammus. And push him under the tower. If you get ganked dont fight because they will be stronger but if the enemy jungler is squishy you can try to kill him. But dont die to Rammus because if you die to him he will be ahead and you cant comeback.
Renekton
Renekton is very easy to beat , because his kit is not strong enough. Renekton is strong vs squishy enemys but Olaf is just... he just beat him up. Just play your game , trade him away with the simple Q and E spam. If he wants to fight just kill him and back off.
Rengar
Rengar is simple to beat. He has nothing to beat you. His Q makes the same dmg as your E and the attackspeed he gets is your passive. His Bola slows like your Q but your Q is doing way more dmg and you can spam it. So you still have the W and thats the top. Between Rengar and Olaf is not a big difference the only different thing is that you are the stronger one.
Always trade him away and all in him. Keep a pink-ward in your inventory so he cant run away if he gets into ult.
Riven
Rumble
Ryze
Shen
Shen is strong in a 1v1 since he got reworked. Dont fight him if hes in his Shield ( Barrier ) because he can block your auto attacks. Just keep spaming your Q and E to poke him down. And dont forget that his Ult is useless in a 1v1. After you poked him down you can try to kill him. And dont push him under the tower. His Q allowes him to farm.
Shyvana
Singed
Sion
Tahm Kench
Trundle
Trundle is a very hard enemy. He is just destroying meele enemys. He can steal your AD and his Ult is melting your Armor and MR. Dont trade and fight him after LvL 6. And dont die to him! If he gets ahead you wont comeback. He is just to strong so never fight him. Even if your jungler ganks its hard to beat him. Keep spaming your Q to last hit minions.
Yo, and welcome to my Olaf Guide. I am a platinum elo player since Season 5 on EUW. Ive playing League of Legends since 6 years now. I started played Olaf since end of Season 5 where i reached Platinum 1 with him but then the season ended. This season im trying to hit Diamond+. I used to main Jungle but at the moment i play as main role Top Lane.
I always enjoyed playing Tank Roles and Bruisers because you are the one who runs into the enemy team to distract them.
