Vayne vs Olaf

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to keep Olaf at bay and avoid his axe chains.
Pressure Olaf early to deny his extended melee trades and force him to miss axe pickups.
This is a scaling marksman versus an early all-in juggernaut; focus on surviving early and outscaling.

Trading pattern

Trade with short ranged autos from max distance, using (Q) to reposition and avoid Olaf's engage.
Hold (E) to (E) Olaf into walls when he commits with (R) for a stun and punish.
Avoid using (Q) forward when Olaf's engage is ready to prevent being caught in extended trades.

Danger windows

Olaf is dangerous when he lands (Q) axes and can pick them up to keep chasing; stay spread and dodge axes.
Avoid extended trades when (R) is active as he ignores crowd control and can close gaps.
Be vulnerable if you push wave without vision or waste (E) early, as Olaf can all-in through walls or ganks.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side early to avoid Olaf's long chase and all-in potential.
Use (Q) to dodge (Q) axes and reposition away from walls to prevent (E) stuns.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce gank risk and Olaf's chance to collapse with (R).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) stealth and empowered (Q) to outplay Olaf's all-in and reposition safely.
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes with vision and kite space to punish Olaf's limited mobility.
Respect Olaf's level 6 (R) which grants CC immunity and extended fight potential; kite him during its duration.

Win conditions

Deny Olaf calm scaling by using ranged poke and (E) to punish his engage attempts near walls.
Survive early by maintaining spacing and wave control, then leverage (R) stealth to outplay all-ins.
Reach two-item power spike to pressure side lanes and kite Olaf, forcing him to rely on numbers rather than isolated fights.
