How to win lane as Olaf against Urgot · 52.82% win rate over 1,117 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Olaf | Your Q-slow-into-auto and passive win first contact — his shotgun-leg poke can't punish a melee Olaf at Level 1. |
| Level 2 | Olaf | Q plus E lands a guaranteed true-damage burst he can only answer with slowed shotgun autos. |
| Level 3 | Olaf | Axe-reset slows let you chain Q and chunk him with E before he can angle his W cone. |
| Levels 4-5 | Olaf | You out-trade his pokes with W omnivamp and a passive that ramps as his shotgun legs hit you. |
| Level 6 | Olaf | Ragnarok cleanses his E flip, W slow and R fear — unstoppable, you all-in or dive him. |
| First item | Olaf | Black Cleaver and Bramble Vest shred his armor and cut his Stridebreaker/Death's Dance healing. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At 2+ items his Q/W percent-max-HP shotgun legs out-DPS your flat true damage in a long brawl. |
Urgot wants to poke you with his W shotgun-leg cone at range, but you out-trade that hard early. At Level 2-3 you have Q plus E: throw the axe to slow him, walk in, and E his face for guaranteed true damage he simply can't match with shotgun autos while he's slowed. Pick your axe back up to refund Q and chain the slow so he can never reposition his cone. Don't waste E when you're full HP for nothing — save it for the all-in burst.
