How do you peel an Olaf off your carry?

Trash MammaI··3 votes·2,692 views

Besides having them be a kalista or Vayne.

I just played a game as braum and everytime Olaf went manmode for our carry (jinx) I couldn't do squat to help her.

Note an Olaf is OP thread btw, just dunno what to do. I know something as stupid as Kalista can kite him no problem and Vayne can just kill him with true damage before he can get to her

Kill him as fast as you can.

Pretty much. Disengage until his ult runs out maybe.

"How do you peel an Olaf off your carry?"

First you stop acting like he's some kind of fruit that has a peel on it.

You utilize the hardest of CCs.........death.

Tbh I just think that's the point of olaf. Sorry for not giving any real advice ;c

You don't, you do your best to peel others off and shield/heal your carry until olafs ult wears off, then you cc him. Usually if you can keep your carry alive until that point kiting him is pretty easy afterwards.

To echo what the others said, if you are facing an Olaf, doesn't matter what support you are, you buy Ancient Coin. Talisman as soon as you hear his ult. Ward properly so he can't flank or catch you out. And if he gets on top of your carry after all that then you got outplayed. That's all there is to it.

He loses a lot of armor and MR when he ults. Try not to kite into his axe if he over shoots the. Run until his ult runs out, try not to react instantly and hard CC him. If you do that your CC will go to waste, just force his ult with some soft CC such as a slow. Then just kite until his ults out and use the hard CC saved in the first place.

I know thats a lot easier said than done though. He can blow up an ADC before any of those tactics can be utilized. Just try to keep a cool head and not blow CC on him while he's ulting.

Karma with item 3069 destroys Olaf as long as your ADC does not use the speed boost to melee him.

If you can't affect Olaf's end of the combat (I'm assuming that a lot of damage is already aimed at him, and he can't be CCed), work on your ADC's. Heals, shields, speedups, bonus AD/AS, whatever you got. Just dump it all on them and hope for the best.

Blue Kaozi1 votes

It not counterplay since its champ based, but he cant run through terrain (J4 ult/anivia wall). That or have someone like lulu who can speed up your adc to help them kite. Other then that, not much. (Tahm comes to mind, just eat your adc)

Grab a talisman of ascension if there's an Olaf on the enemy team. Cause his ult is like Vaynes passive. His speed increases when heading towards enemies. Run, wait for his ult to run out, turn around, you stun him with your passive and Jinx snares him and Bam! You kill em.

Kaeblen1 votes

do knockback effects work on him while he is ulting? that's the only cc I'm not sure about. Aside from that it seems like allied dashes and speed boosts are the best option.

heals and shields are useful, but only go so far vs an Olaf.

Serevas1 votes

No, absolutely no CC works on him, he just laughs it off.

Lugg1 votes

You don't. Sad but true.

Simply: you don't, if he is already near your adc, guy's probably dead. The only way is good positioning.

Colgate Gator1 votes

Your best bet is to either have a disengage plan or bait his ultimate, but ultimately it boils down to position, if your carry got too close to Olaf in the first place, they are already dead.

well like if your adc is imobile and you only have CC ways to protect them, then Olaf made a good pick. what you can do is try to fight olaf before he groups, like maybe force his ult defensively. or try to make sure that the adc is safe from everyone else, or make it so that olaf can only focus the adc by running through everyone, which means 3-5 seconds of his ult is used just getting to the adc. as ADC usually if an olaf is comming at me, I just hightail it away from him, even if it means doing nothing but run 'til his ult runs out. I take a lot of damage, but in lategame fights it isn't uncommon that I can use heal one time and flash the next time and it's enough to survive long enough that even if he does kill me it wasted more of the enemy team's resources trying to engage. and, I ping lots if I can, people generally don't always see every player in a team fight so if someone needs help I ping by them, or if an enemy is vulnerable I ping them, and it makes a difference.

Basically you need to have a support that's better at getting their ADC away from people than getting people away from their ADC. Someone that offers the ADC mobility and/or bulk, like Lulu for example. Alternatively, someone like Soraka who can make sure you don't die while you're trying to kite back.

They got the self displacements to help stay away from Olaf if their positioning isn't right.

You bodyblock him.

Yeah, you can have wall making champions. Trundle JarvanIV Anivia making walls work right?

I've been maining Olaf in my top lane for about a month now, and I have to tell you: When he drops his ult, ghost, and has dead man's plate at max charge, you aren't going to escape even if you do have kalista or vayne. He can axe you to death no matter what. Your best chance is to ward well and avoid him at all costs. If you're running a protect the carry comp your entire team is going to have drop everything and kill me before I kill your carry. Usually leaving my team to pick you off as you're trying to kill me. If you want to beat Olaf, your best strategy is to run a multiple carry comp. Usually, 3 is the magic number that Olaf just becomes outnumbered and gets shreaded. Olaf is built around being able to destroy single carry comps or teams that one person got incredibly far ahead while other lanes lost. He is not OP he is just doing exactly what he was built to do.

KatCraft1 votes

I mean he isn't really hard to kill and neither does he have any dashes or mobility, all you need to do is just kill his ass when he dives your team which isn't hard to do tbh.

RisenDarkKnight1 votes

Well you have a couple options. I like playing a support with speed boosts. If you play like karma with talisman of ascension you can make your adc faster than olaf so he wont' catch him. If you are stuck playing a cc heavy support there's not much you can do unless you can force him to burn his ult prior to the teamfight. Your mid will just have to burst olaf when he comes in :(

TotalJerk1 votes

You don't.

Player of Games1 votes

You don't. You either kill him, heavily disengage, or use impassable terrain JarvanIV Anivia .

insaiyanbacca1 votes

kill him and/or use speed boosting items or abilities(talisman, righteous, sona's E, whatever nami's stuff is, etc)

McSatan1 votes

Try to disengage the rest of his team, then kill him.

Affinity21 votes

The correct answer is Get him reworked by bitching on GD

Gorgannan1 votes

His ult lasts forever, but the MS only lasts 1. Don't let him get into a position to ult where he can dive your carry. His positioning before the ult is very important.

The Sword Saint1 votes

Blow him up instead of trying to cc him.

Zhugan1 votes

You don't peel the Olaf. You kill the Olaf as quickly as you can while you use your disengage to slow down the rest of the enemy team from following up which should create a 1v5 against the Olaf.

Captain Aishi1 votes

as braum, use your wall (unbreakable) to block olaf's axes from slowing your carry down so they can kite him more easily

terkmc1 votes

Kill him, or speed your adc up, dont waste cc on him. He can speed himself up but his slow is not that reliable, so speed your adc up

Become Tahm Kench breakfast and take a nap until Manmode Olaf has expired.

Kill their squishies. Yours is lost.

Sorry about that.

ltmetal1 votes

Take one of these champions for support:

Kayle TahmKench JarvanIV

Also, you should take a mid laner and jungler with AoE CC so you can lockdown the other champions on the enemy team while the ADC goes to work on Olaf's health bar with BoRK and LW.

Kill him, he's squishy as fk

Play Lulu.

Maximum Morde1 votes
  1. item 3026
  2. item 3157
  3. Kayle
  4. TahmKench
  5. Zilean
  6. Kalista as Support or as the Target XD.

Any of those items or champions will do it pretty well without much skill involved. You can also pick champions like Lulu, Karma, Thresh, Bard(Magical Journey XD)etc. that are good at helping the carry reposition or a wall champion like Anivia. If you don't have any of those champions, then building a speed item like Talisman, or one of the two items listed above(if you are talking about your midlaner or something) is one of your two options. The second is to blow Olaf to little bitty bits cause he ain't that tanky.

You don't that's why he was gutted when he was strong, shitty design, he's manageable now at least.

Anivia Azir Trundle can stop him with terrain. Other than that, put speed buffs on your carries so that they can out-run him.
