Olaf vs Renekton

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf should pressure early and deny Renekton's short burst trades by forcing extended fights where his axes and (R) matter most.
This is a snowball matchup where Olaf's early agency and lane pressure aim to outlast Renekton's burst and control the side lane.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) slow and pick up the axe to maintain chase and force long fights.
Avoid trading when (Q) misses or (R) is down to prevent being chunked by Renekton's burst combo.
Use (R) to ignore Renekton's crowd control and commit only if you can keep hitting him without him kiting away.

Danger windows

Beware when Renekton has high fury and both (E) casts available for a quick engage and stun burst.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 if (Q) axes are missed or (R) is unavailable, as Renekton can punish with burst.
Be cautious after (R) ends since Renekton's crowd control and burst become effective again.

Early game

Use (Q) axes early to poke and maintain chase potential before Renekton stacks fury for empowered trades.
Respect (W) stun window by avoiding close trades when his fury is high and (E) dashes are available.
Prioritize picking up axes to keep cooldowns low and extend trades before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to force all-ins ignoring Renekton's stun and sustain, but avoid committing if he can disengage.
After your first fighter item, pressure side lanes aggressively to punish Renekton's missed disengage or cooldowns.
Respect Renekton's level 3 full combo with (E) dashes and empowered (W) stun by avoiding trades when his fury is high.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) axes to force extended fights and use (R) to ignore Renekton's stun and all-ins.
Deny Renekton's fury buildup by punishing his cooldowns and wave control to prevent his burst trades.
Reach mid-game side-lane pressure with your first fighter item to outduel and snowball against Renekton's early lane bully style.
