Olaf's late game is garbage

I love this champion personally I think he's in a really healthy state from early to mid game but when you reach late game, God, he's so trash his damage is laughable and just press R in a tf late game and watch yourself get blown up faster than the carry, I think Olaf should get some sort of defensive buff to his stats per level, as his damage falls off severely and you ult in a late game changing teamfight with a bruiser who has no damage no amount of hard cc and squishy as hell as soon as you ult, he just feels ridiculously useless when you get to that stage. And ofcourse Olaf is meant to fall off but even Lee is still useful late game, it feels like the game is punishing you for picking this champion because you were unable to close the game off.

Ok also I thought I would add this in because people don't seem to realize how Olaf works, I have played Olaf an insane amount of times, I am currently one of the best Olaf's in the world, best I ever got was top 100 or something not that is a big deal just justifying what I'm saying with experience

no damage? are you building him right? if you transition him into late game after having a decent early/mid, he's a terror who can't be dealt with by one person.

Yeah, sure, he loses some resistance if he ults, but he becomes unpeelable. He's a nightmare.

Is that a joke? Olaf being able dive past any frontliners and obliterate squishies is garbage? Olaf is if anything a bit too strong right now

He's a 1v1 champion, youre not supposed to rush into a teamfight the instant it happens

ye i noticed that too hes made of paper as soon enemy adc hits late game u just get blown up, the health stacking with titanic hydra, steraks (btw i think that item secretly sucks) isnt optimal adcs still melt u in seconds, I checked lolking guides from high elo olaf main and they seem to like MaW as their mr istead of SV with BC it provides enough dmg to be a threat late game (atleast in theory), then u have enough item slots to stack armor with thronmail,randuin, deadman, tabi. Havent played enough games to decide if its better but personally i hate how my only mr mid-game is hexdrinker, SV build path seems so much smother but lacks dmg late game if u want armor, if u decide to go dmg items like titanic hydra or steraks u die in 3 seconds
