Except for rare builds, Olaf deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Jayce deals mainly physical damage (77.63%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Olaf is higher farming statistics (ranked 21st among role champions) (versus 30th for Jayce), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 1.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Olaf player to maintain constant pressure on Jayce, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
