Olaf Top, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Olaf's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Olaf is an AD juggernaut in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 53.2% win rate, 2.6% pick rate, 30,802 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Olaf is front-loaded: at peak strength early and falling off the longer the game runs, so the win condition is to convert early pressure into objectives and leads before the 25-minute mark.
How Olaf wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it. The kit grades 7/10 split-push. Olaf grades low on siege and mobility (3/10, 3/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.
The most-played core build is Stridebreaker, Experimental Hexplate, Death's Dance, which holds a 57.7% win rate across 1,780 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
