Honestly, i think that when riot spotlighted voyboys insane plays and the fact that Olaf is curretnly OP in a way, it got alot of people amped up about him, so right now a bunch of nooblords are trying to be voyboy and failing, and who said that winrates mean everything? they dont.

More noobs play him as the found out he was op.
I still am picking olaf into anything, hes still super strong for a good olaf player.
I feel like i can win/even any lane in the game as olaf.
Such a strong laner and good lategame.
Check out my singed guide :)

He wasnt overnerfed, he was toned down so only GOOD Olaf players can pull sick plays with Olaf, which is pretty logical. Before those nerfs, any ****** could pick Olaf and wreck. Litteraly anyone plays him right now. I'm pretty sure his win ratio will rise a bit soon.

About the nerfs, the CD on Vicious Strikes and the slow decay on Undertow hit harder than the armor pen on the ult in my opinion.

you guys need to stop taking skill into the equation. you do not have statistics on how many olaf players "saw voyboy and tried to be like him", you do not have statistics on how many olaf players "jumped on the fotm bandwagon".

actually, it appears that when he was more popular (when voyboy was stomping), his win rate was higher! then, after his patch, both the win rate and popularity went down. that, to me, suggests that the patch hurt him. did it hit him too hard? im not ready to say that, but clearly the nerfs were felt. also, saying that "more noobs picked him up after the patch" doesn't make a whole lot of sense, seeing as his popularity dropped over 10%.

use statistics correctly and dont make up stories please.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

Just making sure my point was well understood. The "more noobs" part is hypothetical, so I can't agree with it, nor do I say it is false.
One thing I am sure of, though, is that Olaf was so broken that anyone could pick him an wreck. So far from what I've seen, good Olaf players are still able to be scary as hell, although I am not sure if the nerf on Q slow hurts his lane/ganks too much.

Bit late to respond to this, but I finally played him for the first time since the nerfs yesterday (I haven't played top lane at all in a while) and I have to say he still felt pretty strong. Not saying it didn't hurt, but he's definitely still more than viable.

Thanks to MissMaw for the signature!
