Olaf vs Ornn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf must pressure early to deny Ornn stable scaling and avoid giving him safe farm and item upgrades.
Use Olaf's high early agency and lane pressure to force extended fights where (R) counters Ornn's crowd control and (Q) slows limit Ornn's escape.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) slow and pick up axes to extend fights, using (W) shield and (E) true damage to win extended duels.
Use (R) to ignore Ornn's crowd control only when you can commit fully and prevent him from disengaging.
Punish Ornn after he wastes (E) away from terrain or when (Q) and (W) brittle are down to force favorable fights.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup when near terrain; avoid fighting close to walls or pillars that enable his engage.
Be cautious when (W) brittle is up, as it amplifies his follow-up crowd control and damage.
Avoid committing when (R) is down, as Olaf is vulnerable to Ornn's crowd control and disengage tools.

Early game

Start aggressive to punish Ornn's low early agency and force him into unfavorable trades.
Use (Q) axes to initiate and keep the chase going, avoiding fights near terrain that enable (E) knockup.
Avoid missing (Q) to maintain pressure and prevent Ornn from safely farming or setting up brittle trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to force straight-line fights ignoring Ornn's engage and crowd control; avoid using (R) if Ornn can fully disengage.
After first fighter item, increase side lane pressure and chase potential to punish Ornn before he builds tank durability.
Respect Ornn's level 6 (R) engage and first tank item spikes by avoiding overextended trades and fights near terrain.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) slows to force extended trades where (W), (E), and (R) maximize damage and survivability.
Deny Ornn safe scaling by pressuring early and forcing fights before he gains tank durability and item upgrades.
Use side-lane pressure and (R) to engage fights on your terms, preventing Ornn from setting up terrain-based crowd control combos.
