r/Olafmains

Istg playing against malphite feels slower than a fucking roblox tycoon. Is there any tips to help with this matchup when I have to blind pick because the second I have counterpick I’m picking rumble or Gwen 100% malphite players don’t deserve fun.

Does olaf R cleanse Urgot R? Or does preventing urgot from flipping you, negate most of his dmg from his shotgun legs? Can't urgot js E away if u run at him with R?

Hello everyone, Im a low elo level 40 Jayce Main Top lane who recently also been trying Olaf and have huge success with him thanks to online guides from Youtuber Coach Chippys and Olaf rework.

Basically this Youtuber who has reached Challenger in korea and one of top 5 Olafs, he claimed that a Tiamat is always a must buy (hexdrinker vs AP burst) because you can one shot waves with Q and tiamat active.

BUT imo why Tiamat first item? Olaf feels like Wukong where you dont want to push against the enemy so you have a long lane to run them down. Maybe its a skill issue on my part but I have lost 2 easy matchups vs Yone and Ambessa because they keep getting under or near tower side and I can’t run them down.

Thanks in advance everyone.

I’m a Nasus and Jax player and one problem I run into is that both can feel pretty rough into comps with a ton of CC, so I’ve been thinking about adding Olaf as another option since his ult seems like it would cover that weakness pretty well but i had a few questions:

- is olaf only a good pick when it’s against a high cc team?
- what matchups does he struggle with?
- how do you play him in team fights?
- is he a champion that should split push more or help contest every objective?
- what are some BIG nono’s you shouldn’t be doing with him?

Any advice helps!!
