His E costs him health too, and yes, you could buy a Hextech gun. To get insta-reported. He has NO (I say it again: NO) use for ability power. Everyone who builds it on him gets reported by me (however, it's not likely you will do, because I already play him...). Yes, his E is strong. Do you know how to counter true damage? By buying some health. And, if you play well, he should only be able to get close to you if you get close to him, because he has no gap closers. Which means you are a melee (no ranged ever walks to a melee if it isn't needed). If you are a melee, you should have lots of health. Next, his E is indeed comparable to Cho'gath ult, but only because it's true damage. Cho'gath ult GIVES him health, instead of costs, plus it scales (1.0 if I'm not mistaken) with AP. Olaf E doesn't scale with anything. So his damage will NEVER, EVER, be more than 320, except with Offense mastery or something like that.

If you have problems with it (which is mostly why you are calling it OP), then think twice before getting close if it isn't needed. You play, for example, Fiora? Ult when needed. Tryna? Same. Yi? Go play a real champion. Those are the ONLY THREE champions I can think of who normally don't build health. You play another melee? Build health or uninstall. You play a ranged? Just don't get close. Ranged champions normally don't have melee abilities.
