How to play it
DO
Don't get chased
If he gets to chase you, you lose — his R shrugs off your CC, so never let him catch you out in the open.
Kill with your jungler
You have decent kill potential with your jungler — set up a gank rather than trying to fight him alone.
Short lane + freeze
Keep the lane short and freeze — deny him the space to run you down.
DON'T
Never let Olaf catch you in the open — the moment he gets to chase you down, you lose the fight.
