Talk:Olaf/@comment-3238314-20110725010256

So I've been playing alot of Amumu, Lee Sin, and BROlaf lately, to improve my jungle.

I feel Olaf is fine as he is. My basic complaints with him were a lack of finishing power, and that he's easy to kite. However, leveling Q first solves both problems, as I've lost count how many succesful chases it provided me, and how many enemies found themselves decapitated into fog of war from it.

If you can let the game drag on, or get fed early, Late game in team fights you can just poke with big damage axes from afar, then rush in, pop your ult, ignore every damn asshole that tries to stop you, and ruin the shit of at least two squishies before going to Valhalla, or, should Valkyrie Leona be willing, destroy their entire damn team.

My build: Vampiric Scepter > Wriggle's Lantern>Boots of speed > Phage > Mallet > Mercury Threads (Note that mecury may come before mallet, or at least after phage and a belt)>Bansee's Veil>Atma's Impaler>Stark's Fervor. I usually replace Wriggle's with Stark's, and get a situational HP item, Though I am not decided yet. I'm thinking of 5 items that could replace wriggle's: Shurelya's Reverie, for the hp, regen, and speed boost; Youmuu's Ghostblade, for the bigger speed boost, arpen, and damage; Sunfire Cape: Hp, armor, burning viking; Warmog, if i feel retarded; Phantom Dancers, because in some universe the speed boost and attack speed are worth it.

To those thinking about trying Olaf, I fully reccomend him. Play him during free weeks, Unlock him, his price isn't that extreme, and practice him. It feels good to run into the lines of the enemy and beat the crap out of everyone with no concern to your own safety, which leads me to say that Riot's design team captured The Berserker's spirit perfectly him. He's the 3rd hero I picked up, and while he's no longer at the level where I could rushdown a 5 man team by myself with only the old malady and phantom dancers on and take 2 with me(the low levels, nostalgia), He's still an extremely strong tanky dps that I feel is viable, maybe a bit too specific at high elo, and right now he makes getting kills feel like you're being rewrded for your skill rather than just picking a powerful champ and right clicking.

This is my omage to a great champ that I feel people have forgotten. On the other hand, at least this doesn't draw negative attention from the live team.
