Playing as Olaf

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Don't run too early at low health

    Don't run too early at low health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives you attack speed and life steal based on your missing health.

  2. Pick up your axe

    Throw Undertow (Q) close to you or just behind your target, then pick up the axe: its cooldown is reduced, or fully refunded if you pick it up late enough.

  3. Reckless Swing between autos

    Weave Reckless Swing (E) between your autos: its true damage ignores resistances, and each auto lowers its cooldown by 1 second.

  4. Ragnarok as you charge their carry

    Cast Ragnarok (R) as you charge their carry: you're freed from all CC, nothing stops you anymore, and each hit on a champion extends the effect.

Playing against Mordekaiser

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay near your minions

    Stay near your minions against Obliterate (Q): its damage increases when it hits only one enemy.

  2. Dodge his Death's Grasp

    Dodge Death's Grasp (E): it pulls you toward him, into his other spells, and it has a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  3. At range, kite him

    If you have range, kite him: Mordekaiser has no dash, and only Death's Grasp (E), which pulls you in, closes the distance.

  4. Save your mobility in his R

    In Realm of Death (R), save your mobility spells to escape him rather than for the duel: he steals part of your stats, and keeps them if he kills you.
