Unbeatable Unit/Item combo

Olaf with a bloodthirster and a rageblade cannot be beat. Getting that combination is an instantaneous first place finish. This unit and items can solo an entire level 9 team all 3 star team. He simply cannot retain damage once rageblade stacks and with his ult preventing CC the normal way to shut down a bloodthirster build fails on him. He is completely and utterly broken if this combination of items comes up. Short of a lucky Veigar ult from a higher level veigar, nothing in the game can even theoretically kill him once his ult pops. Since such an outcome is completely random, there is no build, team comp, or item combination you can go for to counter him. Once a player has this one unit, they are guaranteed to win 1st place. This combination needs to be disallowed, nerfed, or otherwise made impossible. It should not be possible to win the game based on getting a single unit and item combination.

Try Kindred, Morello or Red Buff. There's 3 things that can give Olaf severely decreased survivability.

It's true to some extent. Olaf can be beat by other comps, the issue is that Olaf reaches his full potential rather quickly and with no effort. Most other comps require a hell lot of investment before they become stronger. So yeah he's an easy winner, but it's not completely true that he cannot be beaten, try it yourself and you'll see that sometimes he loses too.

the counter is zephyr, u take him out of the game for 6 seconds with good positioning, then while his entire team is dead you can use the item hush to silence him while your units kill him

Olaf? That's not quite so bad anymore after the PD nerf. He can be stunned, slowed and burned quite easily.

Blademaster Nocturne is the new cancer. He shits on every other comp, including Olaf with any items.

Olaf is really annoying if you cannot cc him before he ults. But I did play my last game with a bloodthirster Olaf, and unfortunately I couldn't apply my red buff to him. I had cced him to about 20% health, but I couldn't kill off the frontline fast enough and he healed to full and killed 3 of my frontline at the same time. But tbh he would have died if I was able to put a healing debuff on him. So essentially being able to apply red buff/morello to healing units is essential right now.
