Are lifesteal runes useful at all?

I'm just sitting here making an olaf runepage and I was wondering if they're useless or worth getting with the current healing boosting masteries and whatnot

If you play nasus... yes. They used to be ADC runes is S4

Personally I go CDR runes on Nasus. I stack so much faster. Averaging around the 4 or 500 mark by 20 minutes.

People take masteries other than Thunderlord's?

lifesteal runes on Olaf can be good, make sure you also get runic armor and warlord's

You better be taking Warlord's on Olaf.

From patch 6.4 notes:

Welcome to Patch 6.4, the one where Warlord's Bloodlust is useful.

“But I love healing in combat!” you might say.

To which we'd respond, “Just wait til' you get a load of it on Olaf!”


These changes take a crack at killing two birds with one key-stone. Removing crit broadens its application significantly, making Warlord's especially synergistic with 'all-in' fighters like Aatrox and Olaf that capture the spirit of the Keystone's concept and giving it more reasonable scaling over the course of the game. If you like to fight to your last breath (and then some), look no further.

Riot has specifically told you to get this thing on him.
