Riot wont touch olaf with a ten foot pole

Affinity2·Dec 4, 2014·2 votes·607 views

Everybody in riot, with the exception of ironstylus, has been avoiding olaf like hes a death topic. Ever since post rework nerfs we havent got even a word on olaf's state of balance, whether or not he has any function in a team, if he still has a toxic playpattern, or riots thoughts on his current state in general. As it stands since post rework, his poke is weaker, his all in is weaker, his tower dives are weaker, his jungle clear is identical, and his previous sought picking power was nerfed for being too influential in competitive play along with nerfs to karma sivir and the medallion line meta that existed while he was competitively sought.

Please upvote for the berserk viking of bro'ness. Bromacia, the beer pong is coming.

Edit* why am i getting downvoted for wanted a comment on olaf from riot? im literally asking for transparency from riot how is that something to downvote....

Sion used to be the king of hit shit never die, with his rework they deleted Sion and gave us this wannabe tank. Do you really want that to happen to the one taking his place as the new king of hit shit never die?

If you build enough life steal on Olaf he is nearly unbeatable in 1v1 situations, this not only makes him an amazing split pusher, but also good for invading enemy jungle. Olaf will never die because he can heal a large amount of hp per hit and the lower hp he goes the higher his attack speed goes.

Yea he has his weaknesses but he has some pretty kick ass strengths, would be a real shame if he lost his passive and his life steal and in return was given a fail kog'maw passive or worse an inferior Braum passive! There is a scary story for you to tell when camping (RIP Energize)

I think you should count yourself lucky that Olaf has not been hit by one of Riots mega nerfs falsing labeled as reworks

Speaking of false labels, champions that have been victims of this such as Skarner and Sion were both called tanks and treated as such.

Do you really want Olaf to be insulted by Riot being called a tank just cause you may happen to build durability items on him? He's a Fighter, not a tank, you should hope that Riot doesn't go on one of their ridiculous Fighter-Witch-Hunts and adding more terribly made tanks in place of your fighters.

good luck getting to late game with olaf, considering his early and mid game are absolute garbage compared to pretty much any other champion that fills his purpose. If you do, it's not because you did something right, it's because the people versing you didn't capitalize on your shit early game.

Yeah, he's not bad right now. Could he be better? Sure. Top tier?long ways from it. But he's not awful. He can jungle and top, arguably even mid fairly well. It would help if he got looked at tho
