 Mordekaiser | Easy | 145 | 46% | +434 | +1,036 | Pop R before Mordekaiser uses his R to prevent him from stealing stats or taking you to the Death Realm. If he's halfway up the lane and you land a Q, just R and he DIES. | |

 Ambessa | Easy | 115 | 50% | +308 | +372 | 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. | |
 Aatrox | Favored | 87 | 56% | -251 | +403 | 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. | |
 Urgot | Even | 87 | 48% | +190 | -262 | 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. | |
 Garen | Hard | 85 | 44% | +196 | -629 | 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. | |
 Riven | Not Favored | 85 | 41% | +5 | -82 | Riven can actually pressure Lvl 1 if she starts with Q3, getting 3 empowered autos and a second Q combo. If she does this, DO NOT FIGHT. Back off after Q3. | |
