Yone vs Olaf

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Yone is a scaling melee carry who must use his (E) + (Q) combo to force trades with a planned exit against Olaf's early lane pressure.
Olaf has high early agency and lane pressure, so Yone should avoid giving Olaf a passive lane and instead look to deny his extended trades.

Trading pattern

Stack (Q) to set up knockup, then use (E) and second (Q) to gap close and snap back with (E) to avoid Olaf's counterattack.
Punish Olaf if he misses his (Q) axe to limit his chase potential.
Avoid committing if (E) is used from a bad position or if you miss your (Q) knockup or (R) displacement, as you become vulnerable.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) slow and (R) crowd control immunity window to avoid getting locked down in extended trades.
Be cautious when (Q) is up and he can pick up axes to extend fights.
Vulnerable after using (E) if Olaf positions to punish your snapback location.

Early game

Play cautiously pre-level 3 and avoid extended trades until (E) and (W) shield are unlocked.
Use minion waves and spacing to find safe windows to engage with (E) + (Q) combo after level 3.
Avoid fighting Olaf when his (Q) slow is up and he has (R) ready for all-ins.

Power spikes

At level 3, use unlocked (Q)-(W)-(E) combo to force trades when cooldowns and minion positioning favor you.
After your first attack-speed item, increase pressure on waves and trades while tracking (R) and (Q) cooldowns.
Respect Olaf's level 6 (R) power spike granting crowd control immunity; avoid fighting when he can run through your CC.

Win conditions

Use (E) + (Q) combo to force trades and exit safely, denying Olaf extended fights and scaling.
Exploit Olaf's missed (Q) axe throws by engaging aggressively to punish his reduced chase.
Reach your power spikes first and pressure side lanes or teamfights with your knockup and displacement crowd control to snowball the game.
