"Theoretical, but no point studying theory if it's not useful at all."

Why then do you seem to base your arguments on theories and stats/statistics instead of gameplay experience?

I only mentioned the SS-CDR due to your simple yet weak argument of the Ghost-CD.

"Only thing he has going for him are his amazing clear times (which, I guess, is why people used him in the first place)."

Probably, and it's one thing I like about him. I actually never jungled Olaf until I once was forced to jungle (without smite) instead of going top due to a misunderstanding. Since that successful game I've been jungling him more often.

There is one situation where I would agree with you that it is almost impossible to gank with Olaf and where his axe-CC is quite weak. It's when your teammates push the lane and the enemy closer to his/her own turret - I don't know many junlgers who actually gank at that time.

For me the CC on Olafs axe has always been enough to hinder the enemy from reaching their turret on time (a gank is similar to me like a top-lane chase with Q).
