Olaf Suggestion

Hi, I main Olaf in the jungle. He's currently the 3rd lowest winrate on champion.gg. Here's a link. http://champion.gg/statistics/#?sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend&roleSort=Jungle

It's bit strange to main jungle Olaf, I know, but I've had a decent run with him. I'm making a small suggestion for him, since he's been receiving nerf after nerf over the past few patches by having his core items toned down, and next patch it looks like it's happening again, according to the pbe. Olaf jungle is sort of a bag of stats that waits for the right moment to pounce before blowing everything in one of the slightly more execution-heavy all ins, so having enough stats is important to him.

Olaf has lost nearly 500g in the mid game, depending on which core items he goes for. This is due to the dead man's plate and boots of swiftness nerfs. While the nerfs to the items are understandable, it's unfortunate that a character who relied so much on having one or both of these items has to constantly become weaker with them.

I guess What I'm hoping for are some small compensatory buffs, since Olaf has never been a main overpowering user of these items. I'm suggesting a passive +5 movement speed for each rank in his ultimate. So he'll have 350 base, 355 after level 6, 360 after level 11, and then 365 from level 16 and on.

Being a hybrid tank/assassin requires a lot of stats, so even this small boost would help a lot.

Here's my op.gg just so people know I play Olaf. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Liverymen

As an Olaf main myself. Olaf has been hit really hard since adc rework and bf sword changes giving caster adcs access to 40% cdr easily allowing for more dashes. I do think he needs some changes. I kind of like the movespeed addition you added but im not sure they would give it to Olaf just because he already has alot of extra stats. I feel as if they let him keep his resistances when he ulted would also be a nice change to allow him to tank longer. Or they need to change some part of his kit I would think that his W shoulfld be changed to give more meaningful life steal when build tanky or it could be an activator for another small boost of movespeed given its has a long cooldown. But I do agree he has been indirectly nerfed over the last few patches and I would like to see some love for the Viking.

here is my op.gg. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=vvoe Feel free to add me I love talking with Olaf mains about theorys and ideas even though I dont play him jungle. I havent been able to play much so far this season but last season hit d3 with 150 games on olaf and 64%win rate.
