Hey Duff.

I just laned against an Olaf as Kennen, and I think Kennen has a major advantage over him because he's ranged, and can kite Olaf all day Pre-6 with stuns, then easily zone him so that it doesn't matter if he has Wriggle's Lantern or not to heal.

Even post-6, if he has his ult to run through the stuns, it didnt help because of Kennen's speed boost.

In short, Kennen basically has free damage onto Olaf and bullies him hard out of everything.

I was wondering how you'd handle that situation? (edit: as in I want to test it with you sometime ^^)

well its a very nice guide actually, because his E just dmg so hard in early-mid, there's no reason for getting armor pen. But a Wukong with full armor pen is fkin u up :/

Nope!

I ran Olaf vrs Wukong in a 1v1 against the "self proclaimed" best Wukong player in the world (He's platinum) and I think it's a skill match up, with a slight advantage to Olaf.

Hi :P

Well it's not an easy lane, but it isn't free win for Kennen either.

I'd level Q and over time I'd start shoving to your tower. I'd probably start regrowth and rush a philo / CD boots / Warmogg's.

If Kennen tries to all in an Olaf, it's dangerous. Olaf can turn around and kill most champions when they all in.

If not, Kennen will be on his tower last hitting with skills instead of harassing :P

At least, that's what I would try to do.

So eh, I've been playing top Olaf lately, following your guide.
But I saw some people going for Shurelya's Reverie, and some pro players too ( Dyrus, Wickd, ... ).

I tried it myself and it really fits Olaf well. CDR, MP5, HP5, Health and the active synergises extremely well with his ulti.

What do you think about it? I haven't seen you mention it in the guide ( Maybe this question is already asked, but yeah .. going through 55 pages of comments .. :/ )

That's a hard lane, and only a very skilled Olaf can win that lane.

Once Vlad gets WotA, he basically wins almost 100% of top lanes. His mechanics are pretty poorly designed in my opinion.

I do play a few Vlad counters, like Tryndamere, but there just aren't many.

Olaf CAN contest and win this lane SOMETIMES. But if you fall behind early due to ganks you stay behind forever.

I love this guide, I've been using it for a few weeks now and Olaf is easily my favourite champion. Thank you for getting me started!

i've heard alot of people complain and although I agree he is a strong champion I don't think he's OP, do you personally think he will get nerfed?

You know, the jungle rework really hurt Olaf's ability to be aggressive.

You'll need to evaluate how aggressively you can play when picking Olaf, he's aggro by nature.
