Are the new Juggernaut Items secretly a buff to Olaf as well?

Thoughts on throwing Dead Man's Plate Sterak's Gage and **Titanic Hydra ** on Olaf?

Yeah, we don't directly call it out, but champoins like Olaf (and other tanky melee damage dealers) are very likely to make good use out of some or all of these new items.

Or they would, if said Olaf ever got a fucking chance to autoattack.

Isn't he pretty much based around Auto attacking as much as possible?

You'd think so, but he almost never actually gets a chance to.

Don't worry, the next set of juggernaut updates will include Olaf and Shyvana. So get your play in on Olaf now before he gets Olaf'd again.

That is what I'v been doing with him as well as Mord. Now that 5.16 is live I will probably start spamming Olaf again until he gets screwed over.

I was already planning on just building all 3 on him to see what happens. Maybe Warmogs and BorK or youmuus for kicks. Also Titanic Hydra / Sterak's Gage on Vi looks nasty :D

Olaf and the old Fratmog's meta were tied very closely to each other; when season 5 was arriving and Atma's was thrown out, he saw MUCH less play. Now that we get synergies between items like the new Hydra and Warmog's he's probably going to make a nice comeback. Throwing in Frozen Mallet along with them would benefit him greatly too.
