User blog comment:Kait-zero/Olaf: First item to build?/@comment-5045559-20120516185828/@comment-4434378-20120517231307

But that's the thing, After the lifesteal nerfs, Zeke's is rather appealing. I would say no to getting it first. If you are going Olaf I would say only get the Kindlegem early, and once the laning phase winds down complete it.

Zeke's gives as much LS as Wriggle's lantern, and most tanky DPS can't afford to get the full damage item like Bloodthirster. Which leaves only Executioner's and Bilgewater, which both have their own problems (lack of upgrade path).

Its situational, but if playing a CDR based T-DPS (Olaf, Mundo, Xin) with 2 other AA champs on your team, I say go with it.
