You are right I meant he outscales in the sense he outduels. First I say that is because you do not teamfight with olaf: you either backdoor, backdoor, or backdoor. All of the options are the optimal way to play an olaf. But yes overall, and this goes back to utlitiy, is that he does nothing for your team, irelia can jump to a carry and stay on them where Olaf cant, same with Jax he can jump to carries and stick.

Second Olaf can definiatly outduel Irelia and allmost every other champ, Olaf has some of the most insane base stats and the greatest aspect is that olaf can counter build with ease. Irelia does damage based on attack speed (true damage and AA) and with a randuins and FH you can shut her down in a 1v1 easily and thats only two items. She cannot reduce your damage as effectivily as you can reduce hers. If she builds attack speed slow Olafs ult can immune them when you get low HP and mixed with his passive will deal an insane amount of damage. Jax is different story now that his counter strike is on an 8 sec cooldown so I do take back what I said about him being outduelable (Vayne can take down Olaf too, one missed axe and thats gg).
