How to win lane as Olaf against Aurora · 51.35% win rate over 777 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | My level-1 Undertow slow lands before she can angle her E blink, so I win first contact and get a free auto with my passive ramping. |
| Level 2 | Aurora | She hits 2 first in lane tempo here and Q-pokes from blink range — every time I throw an axe to engage she just E-blinks the gap. |
| Level 3 | Aurora | Her root plus Q poke chip me down faster than I can close, and my W omnivamp does nothing while she refuses the melee trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | Through 4-5 she keeps E-blinking my engage and re-poking, so I bleed health without ever landing the stick my all-in needs. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | She gets her level-6 combo online too, and if I burn Ragnarok early she roots and W-exiles me the moment it expires. |
| First item | Aurora | At her first item the poke-and-blink pattern is at its strongest — she pressures my health bar while staying outside my Q range. |
| Two+ items | Olaf | Now my bruiser items plus E true damage and Ragnarok let me dive through her root and delete a squishy mage who can't kite me unstoppable. |
Level 1 is genuinely mine if I lead with a tip-range Undertow — the axe slow sticks her before she can read it and E-blink, and I walk up for a free auto with my passive already ticking. But the second she hits 2 and 3 this flips: she Q-pokes my health bar and the instant I throw a Q to engage, she E-blinks the gap and I've spent my slow on air. Don't chase her into her own minions for a refunded axe — that's where her root lands and the poke adds up. Farm, hold Q for when she's committed forward, and accept I'm behind on the health bar here.
