Nidalee vs Olaf Counter Pick

65.1% is a striking figure, and a 109-game record on patch 16.13.1 is a thin base to draw it from, so the honest reading is a strong tendency rather than a settled number. The underlying logic holds regardless: Olaf is a 125-range fighter with one ranged tool, and Nidalee threatens from 525 with a missile that grows stronger the longer it travels.

• Undertow is his only reach, and retrieving the axe is what restores its cooldown, forcing him to walk into the space he is trying to control.
• Reckless Swing deals true damage at the cost of his own health, which suits a champion already chasing a hit-and-run opponent poorly.
• Ragnarok grants immunity to disables while he keeps attacking, but nothing Nidalee relies on to escape is hard crowd control — Pounce and Prowl handle that.

Olaf’s stat sheet is the strongest argument on his side: 645 health and 35 armor at level one, 2,668 health at eighteen, 350 move speed against 335, and Berserker Rage converting missing health into attack speed and life steal. His damage is physical, so armor climbing to 117 is the correct defensive line for Nidalee, while her mixed profile means Olaf‘s 32 magic resist and 106.4 late armor never fully cover him. He is rated 3 for difficulty, she is rated 8.
