Olaf - Ghostblade? Guardian Angel? FoN?

[quote=6PoolHater]On olaf, I don't sure whether those 3 items are good, so I want some help. Give me reasons too, and some proofs will make me very happy. The only thing that make me sad is - A tier list here said that "Olaf is the weakest jungler", what does it mean and reasons?[/quote]

[quote=Alazhay]Ghostblade is an item on Olaf with which you can't go bad. Olaf benefit from its every single stat. Core item in my opinion. Guardian Angel is usually builded late game for survivability in teamfights. Good option as well. FoN synergies well with Warmorg's and it is good against magical bursts. Plus it is providing movement speed what is very important on him. He is pretty good jungler but his passive makes him vulnerable.[/quote]

[/quote] FoN is an excellent item on Olaf because of his health synergy and reliance on speed - if he gets some health items, it will benefit more, and Olaf loves speed because of his lack of any real slow. Ghostblade is a good kicker item if you're doing good - otherwise the ArP can be unnecessary, and the rest isn't anything to write home about. It's an item that isn't so great late game and he NEEDS his Frozen Mallet/Atma's asap. GA can be a good last item for most champions, but you'll rarely get that far in the game. For Olaf, I'd STRONGLY recommend getting an early Frozen Mallet into an Atma's Impaler. Frozen Mallet gives Olaf the greatly needed slow, and the health has it's natural synergy with Olaf in general. Atma's is perfect to build with Frozen Mallet or Warmogs since it gives a HUGE amount of AD, and a little armour and crit to boot, for a small price. Both of these items are awesome on normal champions, but Olaf's W and lack of slow makes them a million times more desirable. Which tier list said that? I'd strongly disagree. He has his strengths and weaknesses, but what they were probably touching on is Olaf's pitiful ganks. He essentially needs red buff and to hit a good Q to gank successfully, whereas other junglers don't. Olaf's speed, control of dragon and general sustainability can make up for this. I myself rate him as a tier 2 jungler, as I have done in my jungling 101 guide, you can check out the build I've put up for him there if you'd like![/quote]

[quote=Alazhay]In my opinion, Olaf's only weakness is Undertow due to fact you can miss a target or overhit. Your passive as well, but map awareness and carefully playing solves that. Olaf is dependent on Red buff or Frozen Mallet more then anyone else. Give him that, aim your axe properly and GG.[/quote]

[quote=ryzing force]frozen mallet should be your top priority first. atmogs as follows after that[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Ghostblade is pretty bad for Olaf. GA and FoN are really really good for Olaf. Warmogg's, Trinity Force, FoN GA Atma's Randuin's Even Frozen Heart is really good.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Ghostblade's not good on normal Olaf. It's a different story on Brolaf though. Extra penetration and more movespeed when turned on. Helps him get all the ladies. :D[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis][quote=DuffTime] Warmogg's, [/quote] Why Warmog's over Frozen Mallet for Olaf? Even with Triforce, he NEEDS that slow![/quote]

[quote=GoliathGTX]Just wonder...is Frozen Mallet a must have on Olaf? I tried it and then tried Triforce and I feel Triforce helps me out more than FM. As long as I can catch up, I can just slice and throw some zero-distance undertow for the slow every 4 seconds and the FM's slow isn't really that necessary in that case since Triforce slow will eventually come in. I am just...looking for opinion. Back on topic, Ghostblade really isn't needed on Olaf IMO. Of course the movement speed active is good but I think other items help him out more. GA is definitely good especially consider that he is a very dangerous dude/bro on low health so you are waking up in steroid mode. FoN can be useful to counter heavy AP team and the move speed is helpful. For the weakest jungler thing, I think it is because he can be easily counter-jungled due to the fact that he has to stay low on health for a faster jungle clearance. Oh, and his undertow-dependent gank as well.[/quote]
