OLAF THE LORD OF THUNDER
Hi, welcome to my guide of Olaf.
In this guide I will present two different ways of playing Olaf, Both of which are effective and important. First of all you must understand what your team needs to choose between them. For example in ranked, you get to see who your teammates are and whom you are up against, so if there alot of squishes go for dmg,if you have too much squishes on your team go for semi tank build.

ABILITIES:

Olaf throws an axe to a target location, dealing 65/110/155/200/245 (+) magic damage to units it passes through and slowing them by 24/28/32/36/40% for 2.5 seconds.
If Olaf picks up the axe, the ability's cooldown is reduced by 6 seconds.
Cost
55/60/65/70/75 Mana
Range
1000
-Ok this spell is not important, yes it does slow the target but getting true dmg and lifesteal is more important for a carry who only needs to farm. When you get your Frozen Mallet this is much more usefull, some might say it usefull to farm minions, but you lose alot of mana, and other spells prove to be much more usefull in a fight.

For 6 seconds, Olaf's attack damage is increased by (12/18/24/30/36 base damage plus 0.3/0.6/0.9/1.2/1.5% of his max health). While active, Olaf gains 9/12/15/18/21% lifesteal and spell vamp.
Cost
40/45/50/55/60 Mana
Range700
- This is your secondary spell use it often while farming and when u have low health. This gives you staying power so u can get your mandreds.

Olaf deals 100/160/220/280/340 true damage to his target and inflicts 40/64/88/112/136 true damage to himself.
Cost
50/50/50/50/50 Mana
Range325
- This spell is your basic damage output, use it always in a fight unless you have really low health. To maximizes its benefits use viscous strike first then this spell. Max this out first as you become one of the ultimate tank killer.

Active: For 5/6.5/8 seconds, Olaf is immune to disables and reduces incoming damage by 25/45/65.
- This is the spell that will help you achieve everything in battle, think of it as a super saiyen. When you need to run use it with ghost, when your fighting 1 on 1 use it for armor pen, and with leviathan at max stacks you pretty much impossible to kill.
Passive: Olaf has 10/20/30 increased armor penetration.
Cost
100/75/50 Mana
Range400

- Your passive is only usefull only when u stack health, so getting frozen is a must, staying with low life in a fight is a priority, have a kayle or janna does make it easier not to die.

NOT GOOD SPELLs:

NOT GOOD:

The other spells like fortify and clairvoyance are useful but you should let the support use them. Your Main job is to shut down the dps or the carry and then take care of the tank, ALSO: if you are fed real bad early, getting a penta kill with Olaf is not hard at all.
MASTERIES and RUNES
Ok this part will be brief. As you can see my runes and masteries are pretty straight forward for both builds, The reason why i put no offense is with my armor penetration is enough for my regular attacks to get trough, and do a convient amount of dmg. For Offenseyou might ask why less dmg from minions, well This is one of the secrets, which is You can take golem without smite at lv 1. Thats right you dont have to worry about losing mana, and with your mana, you can use viscous strike over and over and so you get your life steal back. YOU CANT DO THIS WITH TANK BUILD!!!!!!! If you follow my runes and masteries you will be fine, just get cloth armor and 5 health pots and heal. head back to lane and life steal back to full health. With the tank build you can focus on harassing the opponent and geting out of exp range with your health runes this is easily done. Follow the masteries ts important in making my build shine.
ITEMS AND GAME PLAY
This is the important part, First of all you start with




START JUNGLING!!!
The cool thing about this is you leave laning about lv 5 and so your allie who is gonning to solo is gonna start out lving the enemies.(Not the case if you lave much later)Afterwards while jungle your main goal is to keep the balance towards your side, that means gank often and take enemies buffs. After getting enough gold get










TIPS AND TRICKS
Now in this section I will give you some different items that are usefull.


If you noticed I HAVE NO MAGIC RESISTANCE, now its importnat to get especially against kassadin and vlad, those are the mage champs that can f you up pretty bad, for the tank build its covered, but for melee one you should get :

CONCULSION
Olaf is not a hard champion to use, I haven't really given the details with the tank build, but only because with that build the only thing your suppose to do is farm and tank for your team.With the tank build you cant take the golem however it is easy to dominate a lane. At this point i will give you champions who you should lane with and who you should avoid laning with as a melee fighter.
You lane with these champs:
1.





But you should avoid these ones:
1.




In the end you should focus on carrying the team, remember Olaf is strong but with support you can win most of the times.
