Quinn vs Olaf

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Quinn's ranged poke and (Q) blind to pressure Olaf and deny him safe melee farm.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Olaf from setting up extended fights where his (R) is most effective.
This is a snowball matchup where Quinn must leverage early lane dominance and roam potential to keep Olaf reactive.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) blind to deny Olaf's auto-attack retaliation and disengage immediately with (E).
Avoid trading when (E) is down, as Olaf's all-in becomes more threatening without your escape.
Punish Olaf's missed (Q) axes by stepping forward to apply pressure and force him away from farm.

Danger windows

Olaf is most dangerous when he lands (Q) and has (R) active, as he can ignore your slows and crowd control.
Be cautious when your (E) is on cooldown, as Olaf can engage more reliably during this window.
Avoid grouped fights where Olaf's all-in and sustain outmatch your burst and mobility.

Early game

Harass Olaf early with ranged autos and (Q) to punish his melee approach before he can engage.
Hold (E) to disengage (Q) slow and avoid extended trades, preventing him from capitalizing on his all-in potential.
Crash waves quickly to create roam opportunities with (R) and avoid prolonged melee exchanges.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to roam and create map pressure before Olaf can safely follow.
After your first damage item, increase short-range burst trades on isolated Olaf to threaten kills.
Respect Olaf's level 6 (R) for crowd control immunity; avoid committing to fights unless you can kite effectively.

Win conditions

Win lane by using ranged poke and (E) spacing to deny Olaf farm and force him into unfavorable trades.
Use wave crashes to roam with (R), creating side-lane picks and map tempo advantages.
Exploit Olaf's reliance on landing (Q) by dodging axes and punishing cooldowns to snowball lane control and pressure.
