Been waiting 6 years for this shit to viable again, but I'm expecting that to last roughly 1-2 patches, as it seems anything off meta creeping into viable status warrants immediate, and extreme nerfs..

I am here to request that we leave him in a state of viability. Do not gut him pls.

He is 3% pick rate 51% win rate. Riot isn't going to touch him due to his top lane performance. If anything, the thing you have to worry about is his performance in pro play jungle if that ever improves or indirect nerfs via more conqueror changes.

He's gonna be gutted.

Rek'sai just breached 1% popularity for the first time in almost three fucking years. They're already thinking about nerfing her, one patch later.

Champions not amongst the chosen-few are harshly dealt with when they dare overshadow their betters.

He's not a big deal worth to nerf, I highly doubt that Rito will touch him soon.

I personally really don't enjoy Olaf top. He has like nothing in his kit to interact with. He's just a rush you down champion that I can't connect with at all. Unattractive lore, visuals, and VO. I think you should be asking them to hurry up and give him a VGU... He's such an outdated champion. He's Udyr level boring.

Rek'Sai, Riven, On hit Neeko need nerfing long before they even consider nerfs for Olaf.

Only thing I hate about Olaf is the lack of counterplay to his gameplay pattern.

This. I loved playing Olaf back in season 3 and ever since then he just kinda fell off top lane, he’s my 3rd best pick now again so I hope they don’t nerf him.

Watch Riot nerf him before Riven. When Olaf gets nerfed, he gets nerfed hard, with no compensation.

Sorry I haven't really replied, I've been busy.

I'm hoping the majority of you are right, I just feel riot has champions they like, and do not like.

Afaik he had a negative winrate when he was gutted, just a solid pickrate, and was strong in pro play. And I can't ever really remember a period of him being relavent for more than a patch or two since then..

I'm not worried about conq breaking his jg, since he relies on predator there, no?

In regards to TheTrent's comment, and others. You're entitled to your opinion, although I couldn't disagree more. He is the most fun top laner to me by a wide margin.
