Nice guide I have seen people play olaf jg but couldn't figure out how it worked thanks for clarifying it for I may just need to add him to my jg roster. :)

question, why do you take veterans scars over runic Armor on your masteries? in theory wouldn't runic Armor work much better with Olafs crazy sustain on his W?

Yep, that's honestly just a slip up!

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix that now

Just a short question: I think that 9x Glyphs of Magic Resist work better than the flat CDR ones what do you think? (I only have 9x scaling cdr runes tho)

Honestly, the MR might be nice, but the flat CDR helps ganking and clearing early on so much to the point where it's much more worth it.

omg this guide SUX!!!!1!one!

Hey thanks man. Love you too Juicy boy.

(COntext: This dude is one of the dorks I play league with.)

If you are fed with Olaf lets say 3-5 kills before 10-15 mins what items you recommend to get to make you even more OP or still follow your guide above, i have only been playing Olaf for two days and so far it is 100% my Favourite and best champ at the moment. I was wondering what other tips and stuff you recommend i am hitting a minimum of 15 kills a game at the moment i have had a few 0 death games aswell.

It depends on your team.

Yes, you may be fed, but your bot lane could be collectively 1/10 or some ****.

Because of this, it still depends on your team. If your team already has a tank, you can feel free to build a bit more damage (Such as Cinderhulk/Titanic/BC/TANK) But if you are asking if you should go full damage, even then I do not recommend. If it is ranked especially.

If you are in a norm and wanna go full AD Olaf, go right the **** ahead. I'll probs put up a build path for that at a later date.

Awesome guide, I am too lazy to read it all, but it works pretty well to me

Although I did write a lot, that's mostly because I'm long winded. It's a lot of specific nit picky stuff.

If you play Olaf already, you most likely won't have to read it!

How do you feel about ms quints for jungle? I like to have ms in runes, does it sound alright?

Movespeed quints are okay, but raw AD or Attack speed are much better. I tried running Move speed quints before, but I found that I get movespeed from kit and built already that it doesn't matter.

When you have your base movespeed, Boots, ghost, righteous glory, ult, and deadmans; equaling up to a whopping 455 move speed plus 190%+ extra movespeed (Totaling to 864.5 movement speed.), whether or not you have 4.5% extra movespeed will hardly matter.

For comparison's sake, 455 Base movement + 194.5% extra movespeed would be 884.975 movespeed. 20.475 movespeed is not enough to merit how much weaker you would be early game.

As for early game, it still doesn't matter much. You literally have a perma slow on your Q, so it's not like anyone will be able to run or walk away from you without blowing a flash or gap closer as long as you can hit axes.

nice!

Thanks!

Whoa. I love this guide, and it partially inspired me to main Olaf. Thanks, and I hope to get better with him! <3

Great! As an Olaf main, you gotta remember to get Butcher Olaf, mastery 7, and to rebind dance to an easily accessible key. Remember to BM after every single kill/assist/death/missed axe/hit ax/ and every play. Good or bad!

Hi! Aspiring new Olaf main here! (Got a few games in with him .3.) I'm b5, which is utter garbage, I know. So, any tips on Olaf? Anything you got? I want to get good enough to bring him into ranked. Thanks! <3

My best tip for clearing would be three things.

While clearing, pick up your axes as best as you can. It helps. Also, try to pop your pots when you have W active. The healing received plus the life steal is nuts. Finally, always be looking around the map while clearing.Always look for ganks. Olaf has pretty good ganks due to early damage and permaslow off of just Q.

If you can get ahead, and get lanes ahead early, you can dominate.

Don't know if this was already mentioned, but runing Attack Speed Quints and AD Marks is more stat effective than running Attack Speed Marks and AD Quints. Its a difference of 1.7 Flat damage for 1% Attack speed. With Olaf's built in attack speed mechanic I'd take the almost 2 bonus ad over 1 attack speed.
