Heimerdinger vs Olaf

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control Olaf's approach and force him to farm under pressure.
Prioritize lane pressure and deny Olaf calm scaling by punishing his melee all-ins with (E) stun and turret damage.
This is a control versus snowball matchup where Heimerdinger must leverage zone control to prevent Olaf's early all-in dominance.

Trading pattern

Trade only inside turret zones and use (E) to stun Olaf when he walks in for minions.
Punish Olaf's missed (Q) by stepping forward to apply turret and spell pressure.
Avoid fighting away from turrets or when (E) is down to reduce risk against Olaf's all-in potential.

Danger windows

Olaf is most dangerous when his (Q) is up and he can pick it up to chase; respect his engage timing.
Be cautious when (E) is down or turrets are cleared, as Olaf can force extended fights.
(R) grants CC immunity; avoid committing to trades during its duration unless fully prepared with upgraded abilities.

Early game

Establish turrets early and hold (E) to punish Olaf's committed engages.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to Olaf's extended trades.
Use (W) poke layered with turrets to chip Olaf before he can fully commit.

Power spikes

At level 3, Heimerdinger's full turret, (W), and (E) combo enables strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for Olaf's commit.
At level 6, upgrade (R) to adapt turret control or burst to deny Olaf's all-in and anti-CC (R).
Respect Olaf's level 6 (R) for crowd control immunity and extended trades; avoid fighting without (E) or turret backup.

Win conditions

Win by maintaining turret zones that force Olaf to farm under pressure and punish his melee approach.
Use (E) stun and upgraded (R) abilities to deny Olaf's all-ins and secure objective setups.
Control wave and vision to avoid ganks and keep Olaf contained in turret range for safe poke and zone damage.
