Ok, I think Olaf is quite a bit over the top lately

Guy Fox Teemo··5 votes·736 views

And this is coming from someone who loves playing Olaf and abuses his freelo. And he really honestly needs nerfs or a shift in power, because currently as it stands, he has INSANE base damages, so just goes full on tanks and shreds anyone because he's impossible to kill and lock down.

Feel like he needs some base damage nerfs so he is forced to build more AD so he doesn't one shot everything when only having built a Deadmans plate.

He falls off really hard without building damage. :O

He falls off really hard without building damage.

Hmmm... So he builds armour and MR... and falls off late game when ADC's/Mages are 1 shotting? Is that not the story for every tank/juggernaut/bruiser?

His early game and mid game power are extremely strong. And is too powerful with his synergy with ghost. I just hope we don't see nerfs to ghost just because of olaf.

I've even been seeing summoner 6 Darius here and there, not even flash lets you escape from him.

Whether it's because all these champions are strong at the moment or if ghost is broken since all of them share one thing in common, ghost, remains questionable.

Yeah and those champions are immobile and are using a summoner spell that increases their movement speed. I don't see a problem with it.

I don't see how item 3116+summoner 6+Cassiopeia AurelionSol Viktor Syndra are more immobile than Olaf who only uses movement speed as his mobility without flash, just the squishiness difference but then you have other ghost abusers like Vladimir Hecarim

The thing is most juggernauts and tanks still pose a powerful presence lategame whether that be through a type of damage steroid in their kit Darius or powerful CC when used on the right target Nautilus Sion.

Olaf on the other hand is basically he must deal damage and kill the priority target otherwise his threat level is very low. Without ragnarock he does not function and the CC that his Q grants him is not enough on its own to justify picking him.

darius building full tank and black cleaver won't fall off his ulti will deal 1000 true damage with his passive bonus ad, and his E will give +25% bonus armor pene

olaf base damage are completly terrible unlike what OP said.

Well you don't build zero damage, you build 4 tank, boots, and damage.

So no he doesn't fall off to hard, especially because of his Passive and W passive.

Hes not that good unless you can get fed early and snowball. I personally think hes under powered compared to all the juggernauts in top lane.

hes seen an increase in popularity, and hes definitely doing well right now, but hes not strong to the point that hes problematic.

just judging by his statistics, hes sporting a 50% winrate and peaks out at 56% for experienced players. which is pretty good, but doesnt warrant nerfs.

maybe people arent just used to the fact that hes not complete trash, which hes honestly been for a long time.

I think he has a 50% win rate, because low-mid ELO players don't know how to manage throwing his Q's, which isn't very hard, but when dont correctly does insane DPS.

champion.gg doesnt take low divisions into account. and even for experienced players he peaks out at around 56%, which is not unusual for any healthy champion.
