I'm having some massive problems laning as Olaf. I'm not high level enough to actually jungle effectively with my full masteries and runes so I'm forced to stick with laning.

Where do I start? First off, he is extremely mana starved. I mean throwing an axe in conjunction with E in early/mid game feels like 1/3 of my mana is getting drained. I have to play super conservative and it's usually a question between harassing enemies or using the axe to make farming easier. Big dilemma for me. I can't count how many times I've ran out of mana in the middle of a fight. Wasted kill opportunities and massive frustration.

Second, his movement speed with second tier Berserker Greaves is about 390 or so. Not exactly a guy that can chase you down. What's that? Throw your axe to slow them? I'm sorry, either they're out of axe range already cause I'm slow as hell or they've reached their tower by the time I get close to them. I'm not tower diving at level 6 with half health either, so that's a big phat phail.

Any tips on how to lane better with Olaf would be appreciated. It just feels so awkward laning with this guy. I can't seem to really get the hang of him.
