Gotcha!

So, Olaf has the lowest global win-rate out of all champions. I really enjoy playing him and do reasonably well. I believe people just play him badly most of the time, but he is in need of some buffs.

He used to have free passive armor pen with his ulti, I think that won't come back. I also think his kit is fine, which is why I opened this thread. I have no idea how to improve this champion at the moment. Every time I think of something it either seems broken or doesn't fit his gameplay/lore/innate characteristics or whatever.

I'm interested in what you guys think are reasonable buffs that would make him suck less and not make him OP.

Dropping the slow clearing over time on his axe. Boom, infinitely better now.

That was a recent change though, but yes, it would make a lot of difference. Better ganks!

dam, good thing you weren't serious. Good attention graber. The nerf hammer hit Olaf really badly to be honest. He does need a small buff here and there.

Thanks to Amazing Monkey for the sig. Just like his name, he's amazing

Correct, but where and what is here and there? Help out!

Same idea as Lugignaf, remove the decay component on the slow. You'll be able to land Reckless Swings so much easier then. This was the worst nerf in my opinion, I would just revert it.

In a thread about toxic players,
Go be a whiny baby elsewhere. Find and abuse the ignore button. No sense stinking up this forum with your crying.

His ultimate nerf was so lame. Like honestly, it ruined him.

His win rate was low when he was "OP". but then he was one of those champions that scales hard with skill and becomes **** in the hands of a bad player. I feel like the nerfs killed an prospect of playing him at lower levels. :/

Like EVERY melee autohitter champ who doesn't go bruiser is in a bad spot atm.



Meta for damage dealer focuses on mobility champs using casts as main damage source,
melee autohitter are hard to fit in there.
They're either to weak since they need to constantly stick to their target but cant keep up
OR
they're too powerful because they can stick to their target and don't need to "waste" much money on defense in order to stay in the game.


Someone like AD Yi is the only one who is still "ok".

Well the issue was that he was both a great jungler and an insane laner. Everything that had to get into melee range to deal damage lost against him by default. That was indeed very frustrating.
