Olaf vs Vayne

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf must pressure Vayne early to deny her safe scaling and kite space in lane.
Use Olaf's high early agency and lane pressure to force extended fights and prevent Vayne from freely poking or positioning.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) and picking it up to maintain chase and pressure Vayne's limited mobility.
Use (R) to ignore (E) wall stun and commit to extended fights when she cannot disengage.
Avoid engaging when (Q) is down or (R) is unavailable, as Vayne can kite and punish Olaf's lack of mobility.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q) is on cooldown and (R) is unavailable, as Vayne can kite and punish Olaf's engage attempts.
Respect (E) wall stun threat near terrain; avoid fighting close to walls where she can pin you.
Low-health Olaf is still dangerous but vulnerable to Vayne's true damage; avoid extended trades at low HP without (R).

Early game

Aggressively use (Q) to slow and chase Vayne, forcing her to use (E) defensively or miss trades.
Avoid missing (Q) axes as it drastically reduces chase potential against Vayne's mobility.
Use (W) shield and lifesteal from trades to sustain through Vayne's poke and true damage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to gain crowd control immunity and force straight-line all-ins before Vayne can reposition with (Q).
After completing the first fighter item, increase pressure in side lanes to punish Vayne's missed disengages.
Respect Vayne's level 6 (R) stealth repositioning and (E) wall stun by forcing fights in open areas without walls.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing repeated (Q) slows and forcing extended fights using (R) to ignore crowd control.
Deny Vayne safe scaling by maintaining lane pressure and punishing her mobility cooldowns.
Push side lanes and force duels where Olaf's all-in and anti-CC tools outmatch Vayne's kiting and ranged damage.
