Started playing Olaf and ive been jungling him 9/21, was wondering what a more experienced Olaf player does. I generally build full tank with maybe 1 DMG item.
TL;DR is 21/9 better on olaf? or does it depend if you are laning or jungling?
TheI3igDaddy3 votesI personally prefer 9/21. The defensive tree helps Olaf out better in my opinion, because his kit gives him AS and AD in his ult. You want to be bulky on the frontline so you don't blow up in a half a second right after you press R.
Olaf also loves Second Wind, since he lives (quite literally) on sustaining at low health with his W and passive. The tenacity and extra resists also help him when he's not in ult mode.
Hard4Hamsters1 votesI've gone 21/9, 9/21, and 16,14 on Olaf. It really just depends on what you're planning to do for your team. If you are jungling, I say 21/9 as it gives you better clear and more early game pressure for your lanes. Just the Warrior enchant is great for Olaf's damage. Add a lifesteal item (
or 
) or just go full tank items after that and you'll stay a strong fighter throughout the game. Laning, I'd be more likely to take a more defensive mastery set-up.
