Perfect for Olaf, as it allows him to do what he does best and run it down.

Champion Build Guide
Season 10 has brought many different changes to Jungling this year, these changes have forced power farming Junglers into the meta, however, the late game scaling Junglers that power farm aren't neccessarily the way to go, due to the dragon and rift herald changes. Getting early dragons and both rift heralds will allow you to gain a much bigger early advantage than you could in Season 9. This means that stomping games is much easier.
These changes make
Olaf one of, if not, the strongest Jungler this season so far because he can do everything the new changes has asked of him. His clear speed is the fastest in the game, he can take dragon incredibly early and he can do herald too, all while pretty much every Jungler is unable to fight him, so he can walk around and do what he wants, providing your laners have priority.
If you haven't tried
Olaf yet, I strongly recommend you do because of how dominant he is. You will snowball games so hard providing you dominate the objectives on the map. His weak late game shouldn't be too much of a concern because; 1) Games don't last as long anymore 2) You should have gained big advantages for your team so they should be strong enough to win. (Dragons/Soul, Towers from Herald etc.)
I will keep updating my guide because it is very early and things could change.

Hey guys, I am a Jungle only player on the EUW server who is currently in diamond 4. I have around 4000 hours played so I have a slight idea on how to play the game. I play
Olaf alot because I like his play-style, as I can run at enemies without being stopped by cc. So if you are a fed
Olaf there isn't much counter-play. I also like how strong his early game is, which is where I focus mainly on getting leads.
Olaf is a very fun Jungler to play due to his damage and tankiness, while being unable to be CC'd.
I have a twitch account that I try to stream on, if you prefer watching people play the champ instead of reading guides, come watch me play her! A follow would be much appreciated :) Watch Me Play!
I am very new to making guides so please keep your feedback friendly. I have made guides on other Junglers that you can check out here : https://www.mobafire.com/profile/reganakers-888105/content/builds
Fun fact:
Glacial Olaf
was my first ever skin.

I got these stats from the League of Legends Wiki page if they are incorrect I apologise, please let me know and I will try to find the correct statistics
As you can see from the table,






Olaf's passive allows him to clear at unmatchable speeds when he is low HP. So I sometimes take a full clear path that makes the most of his passive.
Dont get a leash. I will start with W at
Red Buff
then go to
Krugs
and kill it without smiting or using any potions. This will leave me at about 100HP if done correctly. I will then take
raptors
still without potting or using smite. THE LOWER THE BETTER JUST DONT DIE OR TEAMMATES WILL FF AT 2 MINS. I then go to
Wolves
and then to
Blue Buff
. At Blue I will use a potion and smite it because I want to build up some hp for the
Rift Scuttler
as I may have to fight.
You should finish
Blue Buff
at around 3:20. You will then take it and look for a gank on the nearby lanes. You should have a good amount of HP after Scuttle. If no gank is available i'll take
Gromp
and recall for 2nd clear
Krugs
. This is the fastest clear in the game if done properly.
Quick Summary:
Red Buff
->
Krugs
->
Raptors
->
Wolves
-> Smite and Potion
Blue Buff
->
Rift Scuttler
READ THIS BEFORE DOING THIS PATH:
As you will be going to such low hp's this will mean you are very vulnerable to dieing. This is why I will only clear like this in certain matchups. If you are against a J4 or a Xin then you could be at risk to an early invade. There are quite a few champs to beware of. I would only take this path if I know I can get away with it.
Here is a video example of the clear to help you perfectly excecute it:
(You can speed up the video by clicking the gear)
Some good advice on
Olaf would be to try to path so that you will be at the same scuttle as the enemy at 3 minutes 15 seconds because they will not beat you in a 1v1 at level 3 so you can possibly kill them or double scuttle.

The 3 camp clear is pretty universally known and used by alot of Junglers, as it allows them to hit level 3 very quickly with double buffs and ready to fight.
The clear looks like this:
Red Buff
->
Blue Buff
->
Gromp
OR:
Blue Buff
->
Gromp
->
Red Buff
After clearing these camps you should look for a gank onto a nearby lane or an invade into the enemy jungle.
I will usually take this path when I am facing a full clearing jungler like
Karthus or
Evelynn because it will allow me to meet them at their 2nd buff and either take it freely or kill them because I am so much stronger than them at that point in time.
If you want to do this path I would recommend you try to start at the same side as the enemy jungler.
If you do this path and cannot see a possible gank or invade, just clear 1 or 2 more camps until Scuttle spawns and then fight for scuttle.

As
Olaf has no hard CC, it isn't too easy to gank, unless you are able to repeatedly lank Q's, as the back to back slows are pretty much hard CC and only escapable by flashing/dashing away.
I gank by running at the enemy and holding my Q because they may try to sidestep it. Sometimes holding it can be more valuable than throwing it because some players try to hard to dodge it and will just walk backwards and forwards until you are right in their face. I will then throw my Q when I am sure I can hit it, or when the axe is going to land in a position I can grab it without have to go out of my way, so if I miss it or they flash out the way, I can throw it again.
So ganking with
Olaf is pretty much just slow them so you can beat them down with your W and E.
Small tip: you want to use your E as soon as you are in range because it will reduce in cooldown for every auto-attack you do, which means you might be able to get a second one off.

Every game on pretty much every Jungler I will place my
Stealth Ward and recall to buy an
Oracle Lens before I start my path. This is because it is technically a free ward and you will have your oracle for when you gank.
I usually place the ward on chickens, regardless of what side I am playing on. This is because when im blue side, seeing the enemy take chickens/path past them will give alot of info on what his next move is. When I am on red side I will still place it there because you cant really safely get to the enemy chickens to ward. This ward will prevent aggressive early game champions from invading your red, so it is extra good on a full clear jungler that there is a good chance they will contest your 2nd buff.
Against level 2 gankers like a
Twitch or a
Jarvan IV I would recommend you ward in a position that will spot the enemy coming for a gank to the lanes nearby to
Red Buff
, because they will start at Red if they are looking to level 2. If you place the ward to protect mid and the enemy doesn't show on it then they will likely be going to gank the other lane, so make sure to communicate that to your team. They may not gank at all but it is still useful information for your team.

As
Olaf is so strong early game you must play to your champions strengths, and get as big a lead as possible. The main way I do this is by prioritising objectives.
Rift Herald
will help you speed up games and get you earlier tower kills and therefore open up the map for you and your team. Dragons will benefit you and your team massively when it comes to playing later into the game, as well as the potential for a dragon soul. Some souls like
Ocean Dragon
can turn a 100 percent loss into a possible win. If you had a strong early game and secured a few dragons then you would keep yourself in a position to possible win the game.
Another tip would be to always take the more guaranteed play, if you do this you will find yourself winning more consistently. What I mean by this is if you can easily clear a side of your Jungle or you could take a risk at a gank, In soloQ I would suggest you clear the camps.
Another good point is to know when you are strong. Completing your jungle item is one of the biggest power spikes in the game, and therefore if you have finished it at a decent time, chances are you are the strongest person on the map, and can look for aggressive plays.

In conclusion, I think that
Olaf is a very strong Jungler in the Patch, who if played correctly, can snowball games so hard that the enemy team will not even know what happened to them when they see their nexus explode. Sometimes this champion is so strong players will wonder what they can do against this un-killable warrior.
I would seriously recommend picking up
Olaf as he is very rewarding and a champion I feel can carry a game.
