Renekton vs Olaf

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Renekton must use early lane pressure and fury-enhanced trades to deny Olaf safe scaling and control the tempo.
Prioritize short burst trades with (E) + empowered (W) and (Q) healing to outpace Olaf's extended fight style.
This is a snowball matchup where Renekton aims to snowball early leads before Olaf's all-in power spikes.

Trading pattern

Use fury to time short burst trades: dash in with (E), use empowered (W) stun, follow with (Q) heal, then dash out with second (E).
Punish Olaf when his (Q) slow is down or missed to avoid his chase and extended fight potential.
Avoid using both (E) casts forward without a safe exit path to prevent being punished by Olaf's true damage and crowd control immunity.

Danger windows

Olaf is dangerous when his (Q) lands and he can pick up the axe to maintain chase; avoid extended trades if you miss your escape.
Respect (R) duration as it negates your stun and allows him to ignore CC; disengage or wait it out.
Be cautious after using both (E) casts forward as you become vulnerable to Olaf's true damage and extended fight potential.

Early game

Push and pressure Olaf early to prevent him from safely farming and setting up extended fights.
Stack fury quickly and look for level 3 trades using full (E), (W), and (Q) combo to exploit Olaf's lower mobility.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; reset trades quickly to avoid Olaf's sustain and shield.

Power spikes

At level 3, Renekton gains full combo for quick burst trades; use this to force Olaf back or chunk him.
At level 6, (R) grants durability and damage for all-ins; use it to convert leads into kills or dives.
Respect Olaf's level 6 (R) which grants crowd control immunity; avoid committing when (R) is up unless you have a clear advantage.

Win conditions

Snowball early by dominating level 1-3 with fury-powered short trades and wave control to deny Olaf scaling.
Use (R) to turn short trade advantages into full all-ins or dive plays when Olaf is low or trapped.
Maintain lane priority to force Olaf into unfavorable extended fights or under turret, preventing his axe pickups and chase.
