Ok, I've seen some really great Olaf players and I would like to move on from being sub-par to good with him. If anyone could help me, that would be great :D

I jungle starting with double golems>wraiths>wolves>blue>double golems>red>wraiths>wolves then back to buy madreds and boots if I got a gank between there. I normally build a wriggles, boots of swiftness, frozen mallet, atmas, yoomuus, then defensive items.

Normally I wouldn't leave the jungle until 5 or 6 (after I get madreds and boots). I run a 0/21/9 setup and jungle with smite. Using armor pen reds, dodge yellows, CD blues, armor pen quints.

Considereth's Olaf guide is very strong and is extremely close to what you're running. I recommend reading it for further advice.

Do you have any tips for playing him? After reading the guide it helped, just still not sure exactly how to play him efficiently. I break even with him a lot but I don't "dominate" as much as I've seen others do.

Generally you want to wait until someone initiates, pop your ultimate, and go straight for their carry and take him/her down. You're one of those champions who is tanky enough to just run past their team and focus down one target. Basically, your job for a fight is to keep their carry out.

The build I use starts with a Regrowth Pendant so that I can Reckless Swing more often. That is, if we have another jungler, I'll go lane with this start.

I disagree with this, personally. Doran's Shield or Boots is a much better start for Olaf. Regrowth suggests you're going towards an early Warmog's which really isn't strong at all on Olaf.

I just seem too squishy to take out their carry most of the time, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Do you guys also know a good lane-Olaf-build (I know... an Olaf HAS to jungle... but I just like laning better)
I'd be interested in trying some lanebuilds. (I'm not satisfied with the one I'm using)


@OP
Maybe they had a lot of magic damage? Olafs Ulti only really helps against DPS, but is less usefull against nuking (which is mostly magic damage)
I think that Athmas and Wriggles are too much if they deal mostly magic damage.
Until you finish your Boots of Swiftness you are kinda "squishy"... (all you have is speed and some AR and LS to stay alive)
After that Giant's Belt will be a huge boost to your survivability.
