Olaf vs Quinn

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf must pressure Quinn early to deny her ranged poke and prevent safe farming.
Use Olaf's high early agency and lane pressure to force extended melee fights where Quinn struggles to kite axes.
This is a snowball matchup where Olaf aims to dominate lane and punish Quinn's reliance on disengage and roams.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to slow Quinn and pick up the axe to keep cooldown low for continuous pressure.
Commit to extended fights using (W), (E) true damage, and (R) only when (E) disengage is down or she cannot kite effectively.
Avoid trading when (Q) is on cooldown or (R) is unavailable, as Quinn can safely disengage and poke back.

Danger windows

Quinn is most dangerous when (E) is available to disengage and kite; avoid committing when (E) is up.
Olaf is vulnerable after missing (Q) or when (R) duration ends and crowd control can affect him again.
Quinn's roam windows after level 6 require Olaf to hard push and ping for map awareness to avoid losing lane tempo.

Early game

Aggressively trade early by landing (Q) axes and picking them up to maintain chase pressure.
Use (W) shield and sustain to survive Quinn's ranged poke and extend trades.
Avoid missing (Q) as it significantly reduces chase potential and trade effectiveness before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to ignore Quinn's crowd control and force straight-line all-ins; avoid activating (R) if Quinn can fully disengage.
First fighter item spike enhances Olaf's damage and durability; pressure Quinn in side lanes to punish missed disengages.
Respect Quinn's level 6 (R) roam potential by crashing waves and preparing to punish failed roams.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) slows and forcing extended melee fights where Olaf's sustain and (E) true damage excel.
Use (R) to negate Quinn's disengage and crowd control, committing only when she cannot kite or escape.
Deny Quinn safe farming and roam opportunities by maintaining lane pressure and punishing missed (E) cooldowns to snowball the lead.
