Olaf is Broken

Another 1vs5 autowin champion.

How do you stop a 5k hp tank that :

  1. does 600 damage Q at nidalee range. [really why play a mage then if i get outdamaged, outpoked, by him].

  2. If such a Q axe ever lands it permaslows, giving olaf 2 free kills instead of just 1.

  3. olaf casually walks in ignoring all cc, killing 2 people, tanking 5 ultimates and 25 abilities, 60 autoattacks, 5 ignites and escapes unkilled, all while we are permaslowed while he gets his free escape, our champions even walk backwards from that slow and never reach him. WTF?

Nubs answers:

  1. Olaf has a bad early game. >He is not a top laner, he needs cinderhulk for the +15% extra hp. he clears the jungle faster than anyone, has inf sustain and gets a free gank kills without even needing red or assistance from the laner. Just 1 Q land = dead [if you lack flash], if you have flash he just hides in bush and comes 6 sec later for that kill he missed.

  2. In our game, he died in 0.0 sec before the fight started. Clearly he is balanced. >The reason why olaf is broken is because if your team lacks an adc, he autowins and gets penta. There is only 1 item that wtfpwns him, Blade of the Ruined King, if you dont have this item, he gets penta. every single time. simple. At 20 min of the game, he kept killing us, killing us, killing us, he came 1vs5, all the time, freely escaping with 30% hp. That 300g to buy a void staff never arrived [10 min passed where we had 0 gold gain because of olaf camping our base]. when we all bought void staff, nothing changed, he killed all 5 of us. We all had 600 ap and void staff. Nothing mattered.

  3. Why play an all ap team? >why not?

  4. Why doesnt riot provide an ap version of blade of the ruined king that procs from spells?

5)Why didn't you buy Liandry's Torment ? >we did, it had no effect.

Why didn't you bring rengar or zed.

We dont play meta champs.

My Nerf Suggestion: Q slow amount decreased, Q slow amount is doubled while olaf is in ult mode.

That way olaf will have his "opness" gated by his ult. Instead being a perma-wtf slowing 1vs5 pentamaking machine. This nerf is justified, olaf is the only champion whos opness isnt gated by his ult. In fact his binary design, amplifies his ult power. Q perma slows, allowing for free Rs when you want ? wtf. This nerf could be considered a buff, he loses his perma-opness, for more tactical opness, he could be more reliable in teamfights with stronger slows while his ult is active.

Even nasus is weaker, he can only slow 1 person. Nasus can be permastunned. Olaf cant. Olaf just kills 2 stunners of the team, while immune to cc, then we lack the cc to stop him after his ult ends, giving him a free penta every single time.

Playing Olaf against good opponents is difficult. The only reasons he still even works are due to his ult and his build-pathing. Olaf is a necessary evil in League of Mobility and CC.

I stopped taking you seriously when you said 600 damage on his Q while having 5K HP.

Give us his build.

Must be all that mobility he has...

Normally most people will say just dodge "x" skill and I don't always agree with that but on Olaf it is pretty easy to do. If he is landing max range axe tosses on you then thats probably more on you than anything to do with Olaf. Don't stand near him either. He is a very good sustain champ if you just try to duel him so thats a bad idea. He gets wrecked by good kiting and poke. If he has to pop ult just to get to you because of kite then he won't actually have its boost during the actual fighting.
