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 Urgot

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't circle around him

    Don't move around him during a trade: Echoing Flames (passive) fires from the leg facing his target, and each leg has its own cooldown.

  2. Trade after his Disdain

    Take a trade when Disdain (E) is on cooldown: it's his only dash, the one that stuns the first champion hit and throws them behind him.

  3. Stay above 25% health under his ult

    If Fear Beyond Death (R) impales you, back off and stay above 25% of your max health until the effect ends: below that, he can drag you in and execute you.

  4. Back off during his Purge

    Back off when he activates Purge (W): he deals and absorbs a lot with his chain gun, but moves slower during the effect.
