Dr. Mundo vs Olaf Counter Pick

Olaf reaches 2,668 health at level 18, an unusually high late-game total for a Fighter, and he still wins 56.0% of 559 games on patch 16.13.1 against Dr. Mundo, a Hard rating for a matchup between two of the tankiest kits in the game.

The deciding tool is Reckless Swing: it deals true damage to both Olaf and his target, refunding the health cost entirely if the target dies, which cuts straight through Mundo’s armor the same way his own damage-reduction tools cannot help against. Undertow adds an armor and move speed reduction on top of that true damage, and Berserker Rage scales Olaf’s attack speed and life steal higher the lower his own health drops, meaning a close fight tends to swing in his favor rather than Mundo’s the longer it runs.

Ragnarok then grants immunity to disables while Olaf keeps attacking, which shuts down Infected Bonesaw’s slow as a control option entirely. Mundo’s Maximum Dosage can heal back a large chunk of missing health, but true damage ignores that healing’s main advantage over raw stats, and with Olaf‘s 3 difficulty rating close to Dr. Mundo‘s own 5, this comes down to a kit that is simply better suited to a prolonged health race. Move speed also favors Olaf by 5 units, 350 to Mundo’s 345, a small gap that still helps him choose when Undertow’s slow gets applied rather than reacting to Mundo’s own positioning.
