^Above poster is an idiot. Counter Olaf with CC? Sad...

For the OP, Olaf gets countered by a shiton of damage - especially damage that scales off max hp like vayne's silver bolts or kog'maw. Ignite cuts down on his lifesteal from his W.

When laning against him top you can't build resistances, his E just nukes through that. You get some hp and hpregen, perhaps either a phage>Frozen Mallet if you're tanky dps or maybe even a Warmogs if you're supposed to be the main tank for your team.

Also, you want to pick a ranged harasser against Olaf, certainly not a poor melee AD champ ... who will probably get outlaned by Olaf, tbh.
