How to win lane as Kled against Olaf · 53.91% win rate over 243 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Olaf's E does true damage and his lifesteal out-heals you, while you have no level-1 poke and want to preserve Skaarl's health. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W comes online — your on-hit shotgun shots plus Q percent-HP trap out-trade his single ramping auto here. |
| Level 3 | Kled | The full re-E all-in (E in, W-pull, E back) bursts him before his auto-ramp and lifesteal can stabilize. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | You stack W procs and remount-sustain trades; his lifesteal can't keep pace with your percent-HP Q shred. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Even with Ragnarok's CC-immunity you out-burst him if you fight while R is down — just never rely on your knockback to peel. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse/Trinity sheen burst with full combo is your peak; force the all-in before his Cleaver and Steraks come online. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | A fed Olaf stat-checks you with Cleaver/Steraks and his R ignores your knockback and slow — fight only with your own R up. |
Olaf's level 1 is rough for you — his E axe-toss does true damage and the lifesteal heals him while you have no spammable poke, so just last-hit and protect Skaarl's mount health. The lane flips at 2: your W on-hit shotgun shots come online, and at 3 the full re-E (E through him, W-pull range, E back with the bonus return strike) plus your percent-HP Q trap shreds his bulk faster than his ramping autos can answer. Always dodge or sidestep the predicted axe path — an Olaf who can't pick his axe back up has no slow and a long E cooldown.
