The Olaf versus Mordekaiser matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Olaf deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Mordekaiser deals primarily magic damage (85.01%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Olaf is higher farming statistics (ranked 7th among role champions) (versus 11th for Mordekaiser), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.8 versus 1.7) suggests they participate more effectively 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 Mordekaiser, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
