How to win lane as Olaf against Sion · 54.18% win rate over 1,460 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | No dash means your Q-slow sticks his first contact and your passive attack speed wins the level-1 auto trade. |
| Level 2 | Olaf | Your Q-into-auto chunk out-trades his single E shield-break poke before his W shield scales. |
| Level 3 | Olaf | Q-slow plus E true damage bursts him while his W shield is still too small to absorb it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Olaf | Axe-reset slows let you perma-stick him and W-omnivamp out-sustains his poke through 4-5. |
| Level 6 | Olaf | Ragnarok ignores his charged Q knockup, so his only peel tool fails and you all-in unstoppable. |
| First item | Olaf | Your bruiser-core lane pressure forces dives his immobile kit can't answer at first item. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | From two items his W shield, HP pool, and zombie passive sponge your flat true damage, so he flips the lane. |
Sion is exactly the immobile melee you farm: no dash to dodge your Q, so your axe-slow sticks every time and your passive ramps attack speed as you take his poke. The one thing to respect is his charged Q — if you stand in it while he winds up, the knockup interrupts your all-in, so trade when it's on cooldown or bait it then step in. At 2-3, Q-slow into E true damage bursts him before his W shield is big enough to eat it.
