Talk:Olaf/@comment-26362717-20150502042253

I don´t play much Olaf, but I really enjoy the champion. Looking at the comments, some people seem to believe he is kind of weak, and I agree with them. I think he works really well with the new tank meta, and he just needs a small buff for him to be a strong pick.

An obvious buff, read in the comments is giving him a gap closer. I would hate that. Not every champion in the game has to have a gapcloser. Then, compared to other tanks, he lacks cc. But that is fine, the champion does not fit the CC machine type.

I thought about 2 posible buffs to make him strong but not overpowered. I would love the read your opinion, specially from olaf mains.

1)Pretty straightforward. Make it so when u activate your ultimate you don´t lose the passive defences.

2) This I believe would be much cooler, and would really emphasize the difference between skilled Olaf players and the ones who are not. Make it so when you land your Q on someone, they have a stack that lasts for 5 seconds (or so, it could change for balance). Then, while the stack is active, if you land another Q, the slow is refreshed and increased by 15%. (the number could change). The stack is reapplied, and each successive Q withing the stack timer will continue to increase the slow by 15% up to 80%. I think this would reduce Olaf´s main problem, he is easy to kite, and would reward landing multiple Qs. Also, with no CDR you MUST pick the axes to be able to use this, since the cooldown is higher than 5 seconds. This also has got counterplay, and thus I believe it would be fairly balanced.

What do you think?
