Playing against Olaf
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Kite him: without his R, Olaf can be slowed and CC'd easily. After his R, wait for it to expire then CC him.
2
Don't fight Olaf when he's low on HP: his passive makes him more dangerous at low health, not less.
3
His R has a relatively long cooldown — track it and engage when it's down.
4
Ranged champions with CC counter him: he has to run toward his target with no dash.
