Olaf vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf should leverage his high early agency and lane pressure to force extended trades and deny Sett calm melee brawls.
This matchup is a snowball fight where Olaf must use his anti-CC and axe chase to punish Sett's low mobility and grit reliance.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) and picking it up to maintain chase and pressure Sett's low mobility.
Use (R) to ignore Sett's crowd control and commit only when Sett cannot fully disengage or sidestep your axes.
Punish Sett after he wastes (E) or misses his (W) center by extending fights with (E) true damage and (W) shield.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has built grit and is ready to land a centered (W) true damage hit.
Respect (E) stun window, especially when he can pull from both sides near minions.
Avoid committing when (R) is down, as Olaf is vulnerable to Sett's crowd control and displacement then.

Early game

Start with landing (Q) axes to control Sett's approach and force him out of melee range.
Use (W) shield and lifesteal to sustain through Sett's grit trades and avoid giving him easy (W) shield stacks.
Avoid standing near minions to reduce (E) stun angles and punish Sett when he misses (E).

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks crowd control immunity; use it to force straight-line all-ins and ignore Sett's displacement.
First fighter item spike increases Olaf's damage and durability; pressure Sett side lane and punish missed disengage.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) slam for displacement; avoid positioning that allows Sett to reposition you favorably.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) axes and forcing extended melee fights where (R) negates Sett's crowd control.
Use side-lane pressure after first item to force Sett into unfavorable brawls and deny his scaling.
Punish Sett after missed (E) or (W) by chasing aggressively with axe slow and (E) true damage to snowball lane control.
