Dear Rapacious I build him a little differently, start with vamp sceptre, then build phage and boots asap. If they are magic heavy go for the merc treads but if not I just get swiftness boots. After you finish you're boots phage and emblem of valor, I usually make a decision. If i'm reasonably fed/ignored I rush the frozen and atmas. If I'm getting focused I get the chain vest and negatron cloak for the banshee's and atmas. The second one is usually what happens, so after these two defensive items I finish my frozen mallet and atmas, then starks. Remember to always spam your W and keep golem-buffed, as if ur jungling its ur main source of damage/lifesteal. The items on Olaf should mainly be tanky, as his job is not as the primary dps but as a distraction to allow ur carry to face-roll the other team. Usually after swiftness boots, Frozen Mallet, Atmas, Negatron cloak and Starks fervor the game is over, but if it continues finish the banshee's veil and get either a soul-shroud for the health/damage and cdr on your E, or a shurelia's reverie to help you get after the enemy carry more efficiently with the active. Remember, your job in a teamfight is not to dps the other team down, but to be a nuisance to the enemy carry. Olaf imho is the best at this because his ult means he cannot be CCed before reaching the enemy carry for 8 secs, basically allowing you to do whatever the fuck he wants. The enemy team will have NO CHOICE but to either let you rape their carry with your true damage+slow+lifesteal, or waste precious time killing you (which is also hard due to ur insane lifesteal+inability to be CCed) allowing ur carry to faceroll and win. OLAF IS NOT A TEAM'S MAIN DPS. HE IS BASICALLY THE ULTIMATE COCKBLOCKER. Please god never ever build him with Youmuu's btw, he functions so much better as a tanky dick that is hard to kill. Just my 2 cents. Sincerely A humble Olaf player
