How to win lane as Teemo against Olaf · 41.52% win rate (1,927 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
His ghost ignores your blind and slow, and he runs you down through shrooms. Build MR, farm safe, and scale.
Track: Olaf's R — Ragnarok (100–80s cooldown). Cleanses your blind — he runs you down.
Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Olaf.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 1,927 pooled games the lane is Olaf-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | Blinding Dart negates Olaf's auto-retrieve pattern at level 1 — Q him as he steps up for the axe and his whole auto loop misses. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Reckless Swing is true damage on 11s at rank 1 and the blind never touches it — trade in the gap after he spends it, not on his schedule. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Full kit online, but Berserker Rage converts the HP you chip off him into attack speed and lifesteal — poke him low and you are arming the brawl. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Q is max-ranked and shrooms limit his kill paths, but Reckless Swing is down to 8s here — he can eat the blind, walk in, and still take a third of your bar. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Ragnarok goes live here and Olaf becomes genuinely dangerous — shroom the escape corridors before 6 so his CC-immune run-down has no clean line to reach you. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's poison stacks outpace his sustain in extended poke trades, but his Sundered Sky spike is equally sharp — own the window by staying at Q range and never letting him smell a Reckless Swing. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two items Olaf's Ragnarok uptime and true damage threaten the duel — this stage is genuinely Skill-dependent on whether his ult is on cooldown when he chases you. |
Blinding Dart is your entire level 1 identity here — the moment Olaf steps up to retrieve his Undertow axe, Q him and follow with Toxic Shot autos while he deals zero auto damage back. Do not get greedy: Olaf's W sustain means two or three blind trades put him slightly behind on HP, not dead, and his E Reckless Swing deals true damage that bypasses any HP advantage you think you have. Keep the wave in the centre or just past it and never let him freeze near his tower, where his axe-slow has room to stick.

Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Nashor's Tooth (on-hit poison) first, then Liandry's Torment, with Sorcerer's Shoes.
