It's generally very difficult to counter Olaf's damage output because he gets free armpen and true damage from his E. Almost all of his damage output is from melee range - if you can dodge his axe and stop him from retrieving it he's vulnerable to kiting too. Overall, if you're going to kill him, your team must absolutely commit to killing him and not just leave the job half-done because he gets stronger if you do that. A lot of his dueling power comes from hanging at low health with lifesteal too - Ignite crushes that quite easily.
