  • Excellent sustained damage
  • Strong against low mobility carries
  • Very strong in early skirmishes

Weaknesses

  • Can be kited by mobile champions
  • Falls off if behind
  • Limited engage tools
  • Requires good timing for ultimate
  • Struggles in coordinated teamfights

Early Game

Olaf is extremely strong in the early game. He should focus on aggressive jungle pressure or lane trades to establish an advantage.

Mid Game
