Wukong vs Olaf Counter Pick

Olaf is the faster and larger champion, 350 base move speed against 340 and 2,668 health at level 18 against 2,293, yet Wukong takes 57.0% of 270 jungle games tracked on patch 16.13.1. The gap sits in how each one wins a fight rather than in the raw statistics.

• Ragnarok makes Olaf immune to disables for as long as he keeps attacking, so Cyclone‘s knockup has to land before he activates it or after it lapses.
• Reckless Swing deals true damage to its target and to Olaf himself, refunded if the target dies, and 110.9 armor at level 18 does nothing against it.
• Berserker Rage grows attack speed and life steal as his health falls, so trading down into him is the losing pattern.
• Undertow cuts armor and move speed on the approach.

Wukong’s counterplay is distance and disengagement. He attacks from 175 units to Olaf’s 125, Crushing Blow pushes that further while stripping 35 base armor, Warrior Trickster breaks the chase with invisibility and a clone that keeps swinging, and Nimbus Strike re-enters on his own terms. Both spend mana, and Olaf’s 68 base attack damage against 66 is a marginal edge next to Stone Skin, which keeps piling on armor and health regeneration the longer the skirmish lasts. Both are rated 3 for difficulty. Details: Olaf.
