Before Lvl 6, Aatrox can play lane decently. Since Olaf lacks dashes, Aatrox can guarantee his full combo if he lands W. At Lvl 6, trading R is fine.

With Plated Steelcaps, Aatrox can't escape unless he dashes over a wall. Olaf starts winning the 1v1, as Aatrox struggles to kite R. Experimental Hexplate also gives enough speed to R him after a max range Q.

Urgot	Easy	107	51%	+468	+485	His R and E are his main tools, so it shouldn't be super hard, but he can actually fight you pretty well in this matchup. Urgot typically has Phase Rush, making it quite hard to catch up to him.

Aatrox	Very Hard	91	38%	-247	-407	Before Lvl 6, Aatrox can play lane decently. Since Olaf lacks dashes, Aatrox can guarantee his full combo if he lands W. At Lvl 6, trading R is fine. Olaf's R has a shorter cooldown, giving a window where Aatrox's R is down but Olaf's is up. Once Stridebreaker is online, Olaf can chase him down hard. With Plated Steelcaps, Aatrox can't escape unless he dashes over a wall. Olaf starts winning the 1v1, as Aatrox struggles to kite R. Experimental Hexplate also gives enough speed to R him after a max range Q.

Jax	Not Favored	90	49%	-220	-428	Respect his Lvl 1, it's strong. Q from range and slowly farm till Lvl 3. At Lvl 3, if he jumps and burns E too quickly, Olaf can kill him.

Garen	Not Favored	81	46%	+120	-673	This lane can be fine. The issue is Garen is never killed if he has Phase Rush. His Q cleanses Olaf's slow, removing Approach Velocity speed.

Renekton	Very Hard	77	53%	-463	-545	The lane is very volatile. If you get a lead on him, you can snowball it hard. If he gets a lead on you, he can do the same. The issue is that he has a lot of kill pressure on you.

Ambessa	Easy	75	53%	+619	+1333	Keeping up with Ambessa is tough. She dashes on every spell, so Olaf can't reliably keep R up when fighting. Best bet is short trades and out-sustaining with Ravenous Hydra. Olaf usually offers more value in teamfights. Sometimes Olaf gets outscaled in both side lane and teamfighting, but generally spikes harder in teamfights or skirmishes. Her W shield is big, but Olaf can force her to fight only when it's up, otherwise she loses the trade. Don't bother solo R'ing her, she usually spaces out well.

Sett	Even	70	44%	-306	+276	Pre-Lvl 6, Sett can put up a good fight and beat you down. After Lvl 6, Olaf gets the upper hand, as it's tough for Sett to reliably hit W since he can't stun you. Sett often trades his R for yours.
