Olaf vs Singed

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf should leverage his early high lane pressure to deny Singed a calm, scaling lane and force extended fights.
Prioritize landing and retrieving (Q) axes to maintain chase and punish Singed's medium mobility and disruption style.
This matchup is a snowball versus control lane where Olaf must snowball early and prevent Singed's wave manipulation.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) and picking it up to keep Singed slowed and locked in melee range.
Use (W) shield and (E) true damage to extend trades when Singed cannot disengage or kite.
Activate (R) only when you can commit fully, ignoring Singed's displacement and slows, but avoid using it if Singed can easily escape.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is active, as his speed and durability increase his threat in extended fights.
Avoid chasing through his (Q) without a clear path to pick up your axes, as (W) can ground and (E) can (E) you into bad positions.
After (R) ends, Olaf is vulnerable to Singed's displacement and slows; disengage or reset if you cannot secure a kill.

Early game

Use early levels to aggressively land (Q) and force Singed into awkward trades before he can proxy or disrupt waves.
Avoid chasing blindly through (Q) to prevent getting grounded by (W) or flung by (E).
Maintain wave control to limit Singed's proxy attempts and keep fights in extended melee range where Olaf excels.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to ignore Singed's crowd control and force straight-line fights; avoid using it when Singed can kite.
After completing your first fighter item, pressure the side lane and force Singed into extended fights where your damage and durability outmatch his.
Respect Singed's level 6 (R) spike which grants him speed and durability; avoid prolonged chases through poison during this time.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) slows and forcing extended melee fights where (W), (E), and (R) maximize your damage and survivability.
Deny Singed's proxy and wave disruption by maintaining lane control and punishing him when he mispositions.
Use (R) to ignore Singed's crowd control and chase him down in side-lane duels or teamfights to snowball your lead and pressure objectives.
