Off Tank Olaf is strongest, though you build way too much hp, late game carries like vayne and stuff will just kill you in seconds. Frozen heart instead of the cd boots. Get ninja tabi or merc threads instead. Also, randuins omen will keep you alive WAY longer vs ad carries than warmogs ever will. Health is better against ap burst than it is vs ad. Since after the ap mage use all their abilities, they deal no damage for around 5 seconds. Also, if you have frozen heart, you have mana to spamm q more, which makes it better than frozen heart because of it's teamfight component (the passive -20% attack speed that enemies get when near you". If you build frozen heart, Randuins, FoN, you WILL be INVINCIBLE.

After that, atmas gives way more armor than needed and not that much damage since the nerf, so bloodthirster will increase damage by more than atmas, AND it will keep you alive for longer. You also need a crit item, phantom dancer will increase movespeed, which will add to your ability to run away from foes, or to chase enemies.

Last item is for boots.

This is how I play Olaf, I find the stats you gain from these items will benefit you, and your team way more than anything else. You will be able to tank longer than any other item build too.

Now, the bad part about this build, is that it's harder to know when to get what.

P.s: Don't get me wrong, Warmogs IS a really good item on Olaf, though if you're planning on going for frozen mallet, then you're better off not getting the Warmogs. Why? Because there's other items that you need in order to not lose hp as fast. If you have 5k health, but n armor or magic resist, those 5k hp will disappear in a matter of seconds. While having around 3k hp and a lot of armor and mr will make those 3k hp disappear waaaaay slower.

Ultimately, items on olaf should be all about dying as slow as humanly possible. Because of the passive, and with some lifesteal, you will not die, unless you somehow can't auto attack your foe.
