User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Just how much did Olaf get screwed?/@comment-5333760-20130218194140

these nerfs are post-IEM wherein olaf was able to pretty much bully anyone in a 1 v 1 environment... i think this balances him out pretty nicely since he can still do what he does best which is diving for key targets in clashes and sticking to it... the point of these nerfs is to aim against olaf's early laning ability wherein he deals so much damage and he got this awesome sustain/damage steroid that helps him overpower any melee bruiser in that lane... the nerf on him also balances his jungling ability wherein he can just farm up so much especially with a blue/red since he got a skill that sustains him which forces him to gank... i think he still is pretty viable despite these nerfs... i think eve's nerf are way larger than olaf because even with these nerfs, he is still viable top/jungle, it's just that his q now requires more coordination with his team to follow up and his ulti is now more focused on diving rather than escaping...
