How to win lane as Camille against Olaf · 50.34% win rate over 294 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Olaf's Undertow (Q) slow and passive lifesteal out-trade your single ability at level 1, and walking over the axe is your only counterplay before W comes online. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Short trades are genuinely skill-dependent here — your W heal can offset his lifesteal, but a missed Q or a stuck axe-slow flips it either way. |
| Level 3 | Camille | With your full kit up, W outer-edge max-HP damage plus heal and the empowered Q2 true damage out-trade Olaf whenever his Ragnarok is on cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Ranked Q amplifies the second-hit true damage, so short controlled trades into him favour you while his R is down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a knife's edge: your R isolates him for a winnable 1v1, but only if you bait his Ragnarok first — into Ragnarok your E and R lock nothing. |
| First item | Camille | Hextech Ultimatum traps Olaf in an arena he can't leave, and with anti-heal up his lifesteal can't grind you out of the isolated duel. |
| Two+ items | Olaf | At full items his reckless lifesteal sustain and Ragnarok true-damage autos out-last you — anti-heal up and play for picks, not blind 1v1s. |
Level 1 is Olaf's — his Undertow (Q) slow plus passive lifesteal out-trade your single ability, so don't contest the first wave; walk over the thrown axe to deny him the slow and the pickup. Note his Q is physical, not true, so it's only Ragnarok that beats your shield later. Once you have W and a point in E you stabilize: chip with the W outer edge, which deals max-HP damage and heals you off him, and only commit to a trade when his Ragnarok (R) is on cooldown.
