They nerfed him hard after the warmog meta started.
His Axe Slow now dimishes over time what makes sticking to his target a lot harder. He also had a good amount of armor pen with his ult as passive, but now he only has it if he activate his ult.

I think people are exaggerating how weak he is.

Can still be played effectively.

We had this thread like a month ago. Olaf is very strong in the hands of a master of him. He's very weak to anyone else because of his risky nature. He had a ****ty win rate when he was "OP" too.

Perhaps the Olafs are just put with horrible teams, which brings down his win rate.

I played a ton of Olaf both Season 2 and Season 3 and while he was hit pretty hard with the nerfs, he's still a strong top laner. You can still stack CDR and spam Reckless Swing. He's not where he used to be, but he isn't by any means terrible. I haven't touched him too much since the changes, however.

Olaf isn't nearly as effective as before nerfs. And btw, I opened that thread about him a while ago.

Lots of different opinions, but honestly it all boils down to him being overnerfed.

He's hard to play due to the nature of his passive. Not enough utility to build full tank, not enough damage to go all out.

I've been theorycrafting and testing builds on this guy for a couple of months now and still haven't found a 'solution'.

Right now, his Ragnarok is enough to peel the ADC, but you usually die in the process, so instead of peel and kill, it's peel, chase and die.

olaf is op, especially if you fed a Zed and rushed wardens mail + bilgewater cutlass.

in seriousness: he is fine, he is currently just worse than Aatrox and vulnerable to laners like Jayce and Elise.
