Furthermore, I created this olaf build in contraposition of conventional Olaf guides that focuses on a lot of HP and maybe witness end or black cleaver as UNIQUE damage item...
Indeed before this guide i was used to build Warmog, Frozen Mallet, Zeke's Herald and Atma for only damage having ninja tabi or mercury threads as one of my boots. The final item was always very situational... Thornmail, Guardian Angel, even Trinity or Maws of Malmortious if things are going well
Instead of Q+E+Q+E+W+R+Q+E+E+Q+W+R+Q+E+W+R+W+W for heavy Early damage and offtank runes and maestries I tried to do a kinda Hybrid Olaf. You know, having around 68% Critic chance with 260% of damage each critic, plus 9% base lifesteal and of course armor, magic resistance an Arpen runes, it becomes much more a melee DPS instead of an Offtank, you know, it really makes my opponent's very mad when i steal more life than damage they do :)
Of course it's not maybe the best way to play Olaf in terms or sustain an survival but it provides so much burst damage an it's so much better in 1vs1 that i'm even sure that you won't need E cause your autoatacks with W activated will do more damage than any E you can spam... otherwise if you like to use Reckless Swing that much, focus on put trinity. It will help you to deal burst damage as well.
I really recomend you on trying this build. Despite what you may think it's a good one and not very expensive (only Infinity Edge and that's why it's the final item)
First of all Doran's Shield is a bad item on Olaf, yeah dude is awesome see alot of health on this guy but a Doran's Shield can't be rushed on a late game item as Phage.
I think the 2 goals to reach are berserker's graves and Wriggle's Lantern, berserker's graves with your passive Berserker Rage can save you from a figth.
Still with the items you take boots to late in the game, i'm agree with the zeke's herald but let this item for you support the lifesteal that provides you Tough It Out is suficent.
I don't really now in what helps you build an Infinity Edge is expensive and you don't need crits non AD, again you Tough It Out gives you the sufficent AD to win a figth, i prefer use that 3.8K gold on an item that provides me more survability and sustain in teamfigths, with that amount of gold you can buy and Wit's End and a giant belt this allows you to survive a teamfigth and deal alot of damage.
The next thing a saw was the skill, i saw you maximizing your Tough It Out but i think i more useful if you maximize your Reckless Swing his low cooldown provides you a crazy damage early game and you can win a figth on top just pressing E.
Plus you don't use any BBCode in this guide, i recommend you to take a look of THIS guide about How to make a guide :D
What is more! I put 2 times his E having in count that you might engage some Tanks-Offtanks and that you will need pure damage to "scare" them. But as you said. This skill is for early-mid game, not for late game, so you can even consider to leave the 5 of them just for the last levels ;P...
I was tired of using conventional Olaf focusing on maximizing Reckless Swind as soon as possible, and i found out that having Maxed Out your Vicious Strikes with Zerek's Herald and LifeSteal runes, IT'S MADNESS! Seriously, i remember doing even 1vs3 doing like 800-1000 critics to gankplank and owning him in a few strikes while having 30-50% life, and ending Ziggs and Nasus quite easily ending up with 60% of life... and i wasn't 30-0-2 or so, just 3 or 4 kills more above them :S
Oh you get like 3K of life , but this page doesn't show either the bonuses of Atma Impaler to damage, and it doesn't show Frozen Mallet as a late game item (like i was going to sell it for another boots... doh!)
Just try it, and tell me if you like it :) You might discover a new way to play him, a ver TROLLING way to play him :P
Btw thank you for you +1 I'm really glad that you read this guide :) I'll soon do Udyr Solo Top - Dps one since he's my Main for over a year. I will try to improve my guides, thank you all of you^^
Damn.
Got lots of em on my olaf guide aswell XD
Anyways~~ good guide my friend. You should learn some BB coding though.

Oh and... don't get so much point in Tough It Out when you solo top.
(Even though you seem to like it a lot, it would be hard to use it effectively)
Also getting Reckless Swing earlier would help you A LOT.
I use Olaf as solo top aswell at times, but Reckless Swing gave me lots of kills ealry game!
Anyways +1 :likeasir:
