How to win lane as Olaf against Kled · 47.71% win rate over 545 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | You own first contact: Undertow's slow into an auto wins level 1 before his Bear Trap (Q) range and dismount aggression are online. |
| Level 2 | Kled | His spike arrives — Bear Trap on a Rope (Q) pulls you in and Violent Tendencies (W) shreds your low armor faster than E can answer. |
| Level 3 | Kled | His remount mechanic means even a clean E-Reckless-Swing only chunks him; he survives to reset and wins the rematch. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | He keeps edging short trades — his dismount burst plus a full-HP remount out-grinds your W-omnivamp sustain. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Chaaaaaaaarge!!! (R) lets Skaarl knock you back and burst on remount; your Ragnarok cleanses CC but not his raw damage. |
| First item | Kled | His first bruiser item plus the remount reset stays ahead of your flat E true damage in the extended brawl. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Roughly even — your bruiser core dives through his peel with Ragnarok, but his remount reset out-scales a long game, so close it earlier. |
Level 1 is genuinely yours — throw Undertow (Q), let the slow stick, and auto him before his mounted Bear Trap (Q) grab range turns the corner aggression in his favor. The problem starts at 2-3: once Kled has his Q-pull plus Violent Tendencies (W) attack-speed steroid, he yanks you in and his autos rip through your low early armor faster than your E true-damage nuke heals back through W. Don't walk up to throw a Q into his pull range — poke with the tail of Undertow and pick the axe back up to keep the cooldown low, but respect that he wins the extended trade he forces.
