Introduction

Olaf is sometimes played as a tank or a damage but i this guide is a tank and damage Olaf. Only follow this guide when there's already a good tank on your team as this build is not meant for tanking. This guide is for a damage Olaf fused with a hard to kill Olaf.

Runes

I got armor penetration for the marks because most of the time there's 1 or 2 tanky champions on the other team and armor penetration makes a huge difference. I got dodge chance for seals because in this guide i didn't add any magic resist items so Olaf relies on health and dodge. For glyphs i got cooldown reduction because in late game battles some champions will try to escape and therefore u can spam your undertow to slow down the enemy champion. Reckless Swing is a good skill but it does cost a bit of health so use it on squishy champions and ones that don't have much armor resist. For quintessence i got critical chance and critical damage because i added a few items that give attack speed to make critical chance more effective and when you do crit you will do extra dmg due to the critical damage quintessence.

Greater Mark of Desolation

Masteries

The masteries i really wasn't sure if i did it right or not so i just added a bit in defense and a lot in damage. So if anyone doesn't think my masteries are right just comment and tell me and i will change it.

Items

My items were quite straight-forward because i got attack speed for my crit runes and damage since this is a damage/tank build and a bit of tankiness.

Skill Sequence

My skill sequence was a bit muddled up since all people have different thoughts and their own strategy. This is my strategy that i always use when i play olaf so if u think my skill sequence isn't right just comment.

Team Work

In team battles either u or ur team's tank will be leading the battle, so you need team work to focus down which champion first and second to prevent the damage champions in your team from dying. IF you are the tank try to not ks anyone with reckless swing as it is a good ks(kill steal) skill. Also try to prevent anyone from your team from dying by, if your team is being chased down then keep spamming your undertow to slow the enemy down.

Farming

Olaf isn't really a farming champion because he doesn't have much AOE. he only has undertow and that is a hard skill to use against mobs because if they vs u they would surround u not go in a straight line perfectly for u to use undertow. He can withstand all the monster's attacks but he can't kill them really quick.

Summoner Spells

My summoner spells were exhaust and ignite because during early game Olaf is going to do a lot of ganks and jumps and exhaust and ignite is the perfect combo.

Creeping/Jungling

Some people jungle with Olaf but i'm not very sure how to jungle with Olaf but this guide is not for people seeking a guide for jungle Olaf.
