Olaf vs Yone

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf must pressure Yone early to deny his scaling and prevent safe use of his (E) + (Q) combo.
Olaf's high early agency and lane pressure allow him to force extended melee fights where he excels.
This is a snowball matchup where Olaf aims to dominate early and punish Yone's reliance on cooldowns and positioning.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) and pick it up to extend fights and prevent Yone from safely disengaging.
Use (R) to ignore Yone's crowd control and commit only when you can continue hitting him without being kited.
Punish Yone heavily if he uses (E) from a bad position, as he is vulnerable after snapback and before he can reset cooldowns.

Danger windows

Respect (E) knockup and stun window during trades, as it can set up lethal combos.
Be cautious when (R) is unavailable, as Yone's crowd control and displacement can punish you more easily.
Avoid extended fights when (R) is ready and well-timed, as it can instantly turn trades against you.

Early game

Use (Q) axes to start trades and keep cooldowns low by picking them up to maintain chase pressure.
Avoid missing (Q) as it significantly reduces your ability to stick to Yone and punish his (E) usage.
Take advantage of Yone's vulnerability before level 3 when his (E) combo and shield are not fully available.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to gain crowd control immunity and force straight-line fights where Yone cannot kite effectively.
After your first fighter item, increase pressure by forcing side-lane fights and punishing Yone's missed disengage tools.
Respect Yone's level 3 spike when he unlocks (Q)-(W)-(E) combo and his first attack speed item, as his trade reliability improves significantly.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) axes to control extended trades and force Yone into unfavorable fights.
Use (R) to negate crowd control and commit to all-ins only when Yone cannot fully disengage.
Snowball early lane pressure into side-lane dominance and force fights where your durability and chase outmatch Yone's mobility.
