1. Role change. Fair, enough, but Riot is trying to get him to be more offensive and encourage more offensive items, instead of the full tank Olaf who still has E. It's not a complete role change whatsoever-everything he had before he still has now and can still obliterate carries.

2. Looks at W notes. Notice the mana cost getting reduced and an extra good effect being added on. REALISES IT'S A NERF dafuq were you talking about?

Ult is mostly a buff-wow a longer cooldown? It's made up for by the lv 3 cd. Now it actually has a passive and also another extra good effect on active, as well as having no mana cost. However, the stats are reduced and you no longer have arpen, but you get most of your damage from E anyway. I suppose this is not a nerf or a buff. It just turns into a last resort escape tool you can always use, a little more than an engage it is now.

Q damage increase (almost all the time) and no slow decay. Yes, it now has a min distance but when you think about it, you are gonna be moving a lot of the time in fights and 450 really isn't a lot. You can get that in just over a second (even less than a second if you factor in the aoe pick up range that may be there). Also, this one clear nerf is NOT gonna give it an overall nerf-nerf the least picked champ with the least win rate? Are you sure, Riot?

Basically, the rework doesn't make TOO much difference; it gives him a SLIGHT "role change" and decreases melee power but solves mana problems (which means more Q spam), more tankiness and some more nice effects on W and ult.

But overall it's a buff.
