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 Tryndamere

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade when his Fury is high

    Avoid taking a trade when his Fury is high: with Battle Fury (passive), it raises his critical strike chance, and Bloodlust (Q) turns it into healing.

  2. Harass him while he farms

    Hit him when he walks up to minions to farm: each last hit gives him Fury, which Bloodlust (Q) then turns into healing.

  3. Don't turn your back on him

    Against Mocking Shout (W), back off sideways rather than turning your back on him: the spell only slows enemies who are facing away from him.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, plan for what comes after Undying Rage (R): he can't die during the effect, so back off or hold any CC you have, and finish him when it ends.
