The 3 Best Counter Champions to Olaf in LoL

Since the mid-scope update, Olaf has been a threat both top lane and in the jungle. Olaf Form is back, and players don't know what to do against this steroid-abusing viking. So, even after the durability update, we've got three counter champions that will definitely work to help you against Olaf. If you want to learn how to counter this champion, you can find your answer in the rest of this article. Here are the Top 3 Counter Champions for Olaf 2022!

3 Counters to Olaf

You won't pick weak champions against Olaf at the start of the game, because he'll be able to crush them easily and snowball. So you need someone who can go toe-to-toe with him right from the start. Also, always remember you need to build Grievous Wounds, since Olaf can heal a bit in any fight or skirmish.

3. Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix is one of the best 1v1 champions in the game. He can leap onto his opponent, shred half their health, and the fight is basically won by Kha'Zix. Olaf won't have time to counter this threat and will have a terrible time against the Void creature. He can burst Olaf down before he even gets a chance at lifesteal, making him a perfect pick against the viking.

If you're playing Kha'Zix, make sure you don't fully commit early on. Wait until level 6, and then the fun can begin. In the long run, Kha'Zix will outpace Olaf and be far more effective than the other jungler in the late game. You can also save yourself from any dangerous fight by simply... jumping away.

2. Fiora

For everyone in the top lane who has to face Olaf there, we also have a pick for top lane. Fiora counters basically everything that's difficult at this point in the game. She has percent max HP true damage, a dash that can easily juke him, and an ability that lets her erase any ability from the game for almost a second. Fiora has everything she needs to counter Olaf.

You'll need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by Olaf, but she's a mobile champion, so this won't be hard. Then you trigger her vitals and go for short trades. Still, make sure you know when to make these trades and when they'll go in your favor. You'll be able to whittle him down using Q, E, and then W. Once he's low, you go for the kill. It's that simple. When it comes to healing, Fiora's ultimate also does a good job, and Olaf won't be able to heal his own health back before facing a grey screen.

1. Trundle

Trundle, like Olaf, can be played both top lane and in the jungle, which makes him a great champion to play in either matchup. Pick Lethal Tempo on Trundle, stand your ground, and auto the other champion down to death. Seriously, that's the game plan once you decide to roll with him into an Olaf matchup. He's probably the simplest champion to play while facing the other. You can steal AD from Olaf with Trundle's Q. That means the other champion won't be dealing any damage to you. None at all. What's tickling you? Oh, is Olaf trying to get past your monster armor? In his dreams. Once Olaf realizes mistakes have been made, all you need to do is block his path with a well-placed pillar. Then you use the plentiful attack speed you have to auto the other one down to death. If all of this still isn't enough to kill Olaf, use your ultimate to drain and burst his stats! You become unkillable, and Olaf is nothing more than a glorified slave.
