Season 3 Testing
So far,



True damage on a tank =D
*But is really expensive (11878 gold) =(
Hopefully I will finish testing soon and update the whole guide.
Feel free to test for yourself and post your experience =)
*Also Attack Speed has been slighty nerfed and it affects Olaf's passive.
New Attack Speed Calculation:
AS = baseAtLevelOne*(1+x/100) where
x = bonusPerLevel*(level-1) + (itemBonus + runeBonus + masteryBonus + abilityBonus + buffBonus)
So Olaf's base is 0.694 and bonus is 2.7 per level.
AS at 100% HP = 0.694*(1+(2.7*17+30+0+4+0+0)/100) = 1.248506
AS at 60% HP = 0.694*(1+(2.7*17+30+0+4+40+0)/100) = 1.526106
AS at 30% HP = 0.694*(1+(2.7*17+30+0+4+70+0)/100) = 1.734306
AS at 1% HP = 0.694*(1+(2.7*17+30+0+4+99+0)/100) = 1.935566

His ship destroyed, his crew nowhere to be found, Olaf miraculously washed up untold miles from ''friendly'' waters on the foreign shores of Valoran, south of Demacia. This unfamiliar place stunned and frightened the Berserker, for Lokfar is not privy to such potent magicians. Approaching them, Olaf hoped that they could use their mysterious powers to send him back to his people. A bargain was struck. Olaf would use his awesome prowess as a warrior to serve the unusual wars of Valoran in the League of Legends, and in exchange the sorcerers would find him a way to return. Despite his participation in the League, Olaf knows better than to trust the ''finger wagglers'' that run the Institute of War. He deliberately keeps details of his life and home from them. After all, with enough information, they would most certainly find the Lokfarians and dominate them as they have dominated all of Valoran, keeping both quietly -- and unwittingly -- in their thrall.
Beware the war cry of the Berserker. What surges toward you is unyielding, free from the shackles of reason.
"I am Brozarik, Lord of the Bros"

Exhaust is simply a must have on

Using this on an enemy carry will shut down their damage and combined with your slows, severely decrease their movement speed.

Flash can be used to secure a kill or escape, multifunctional spell, jump over walls, survive.

Great movement buff, keep track of your enemy, get somewhere quickly.

A must for a jungler, secure buffs and as a plus, you can activate your W to spell vamp smite.

Good early game killsecuring tool, but in my opinion olaf can achieve that by sticking like glue to a target.

Good spell to help allies in other lanes and to return back to yours.

Kind of meh due to sustain.
All of these are pretty much a waste on









His passive makes him hard to kill, combined with his W, life steal can make you out sustain your enemies.

Your only CC is a skillshot with adjustable range, crucial to land just at your enemies feet AND grab your axe back for improved chasing. Since it has the same cooldown on all ranks, it is maxed last.

Your sustain, provides life steal and some AD, scales with HP. Maxed second.

True Damage, but it also hurts you. In early game is where this skill shines, maxed first. Be sure to not drop yourself too low so enemy cant burst you down.

Offense
Cost: 15065
Rush a wriggles, farm, sustain, win, period.
Why
Ionian Boots of Lucidity? Because spamming is goood.
Undertow CD 6.8
Tough It Out CD 10,2
Reckless Swing CD 4,25
Ragnarok CD 85
Average human reaction time varies between 0.2 seconds and 0.4 seconds, so any CDR that applies more than 0.5 seconds is goood.
For a really really late game, you might change your
Wriggle's Lantern for a
Bloodthirster or a
Madred's Bloodrazor or a
Wit's End depending on situation.
Defense
Cost: 12425 + last item
Just before late game, you should have your
Hexdrinker build, so you have a wide range of resistance and utility, and later on, your
Randuin's Omen active becomes a great team fight CC. At this point, most games end, but if for some reason it should continue, you must reflex on what you need:
Moar HP =
Warmog's Armor
MR =
Force of Nature or
Wit's End
Revive =
Guardian Angel
AD =
Black Cleaver or
Bloodthirster
Utility = zeke's herald or
Shurelya's Battlesong or
Locket of the Iron Solari or
Aegis of the Legion or
Frozen Heart
WANT ATMOG! = sell your
Wriggle's Lantern and buy

If there is a proper tank in your team, your goal during team fights is to obliterate the enemy carry at any cost. That means you enter a fight axes blazing with
Ragnarok and literally kamikaze their carry (while your team effectively aplies CC)
Step by step:
If you are the tank, you must use your
Randuin's Omen active catching as many enemies as you can, combined with
Undertow shutdown their carry with
Exhaust then keep aggro to yourself using
Reckless Swing while staying alive with
Tough It Out and
Ragnarok
Be wary though, as brolaf lacks heavy CC.

Step by step:
- Activate
Ragnarok and start advancing towards enemy team. Yelling BROMACIAAA! at the top of your lungs usually grants you success.
- Use
Undertow to hit enemy carry
- Target their carry and use
Exhaust thus fully preventing his escape.
- By now, you should have a lot of aggro, you can take hits due to your tankiness while rendering useless their CC. Your own team should be advancing and using a large CC.
- Use
Reckless Swing and
Tough It Out to obliterate enemy carry.
- Your team should have downed any other threat, so only thing left is to chase the enemy tank and score and ace =D
If you are the tank, you must use your
