Olaf Mana: 0/75 ⇒ 0/90 this just goes to prove you guys literally have no idea how to balance some broken bs. 15 mana is one auto attack.

Olaf item 3124 +any number of glacial

He 1 shouldn't be a glacial 2 Shouldn't be completely immune to cc (aka Ragnorak shouldn't be his ability)

Not sure why they think him needing one extra auto attack to get ult is considered a substantial nerf, especially when inferno and ocean hexes are a thing. I get that they're nerfing glacial's stun chance but that's probably not going to do much with his attack speed and players building item 3124

He should not have been a glacial and his ult shouldn't last the whole round. If he was a 5 cost unit it'd make sense I guess but he's not.

I won't be playing ranked until he and a few other problematic things are properly fixed. Set 2 has so much versatility and so many neat synergy possibilities, but you know everyone is just going to be forcing him into their comp for an easy top 4. Then you kinda just have to accept that you're probably not gonna place high unless you get a lucky Lux or you happen to be running an Olaf that can out-Olaf the other Olafs.

I did have a lvl 2 olaf beat 3 llvl 3 champions without taking any dmg... so maybe.

Though when I just tried to play him the game refused to let me equip him with anything and the time I wasted trying cost me the game.

A month later, Olaf is still a massive problem. If I had to chose between running 4 glacial with Olaf equipped with Rageblade thirster and a random 3rd item, or going 4 blademaster and putting the same items on Yi, I'd go Olaf/glacial every single time, no contest.

Master Yi is underwhelming compared to Olaf. Master Yi loses his ult, and can get stunned. Olaf gets his permanently and is immune to everything but damage.

Best part, Olaf is a Tier 4. Yi is a Tier 5. figure that, the fuck out.

With Zed, you HAVE to get him to 2 star to be strong enough and you MUST have 2 very specific items or he's kind of pointless. Also Zed is a Tier 5 item.

they are nerfing 6 glacial as well and rageblade too, i mean they didnt just nerf olaf, wait and see first

if we completely ignore items and champs that apply reduced healing then I agree, Olaf is a problem.

I dont really think hes overpowered, but ONLY because there are so many other game breakingly overpowered things going on in this itteration of TFT. Like i consider Kindred, Zed, and Singed to be just as dumb as Olaf. Mage spatula Summoners are pretty ridiculous as well.

Zed w/ items is a lot stronger than olaf imo... Mage spat summoners are bad like u said. Poison w/ singed is another one!! lol.

But Zed and Singed are 5 cost. Harder to snag, harder to upgrade. Besides, that just isn't true. I've seen permafrost Olaf shred all of those.

True, if you get olaf w/ all glacials, it can be bad.. Glacial freeze nerfed but rng is still rng. Been permafrozen by an Ezreal with only one other glacial on the board (2 bonus). Now the item 3026 item 3107 nerf will probably impact the zed big also. The folks who had a 2 star zed seemed to always run the combo so you would kill him or his shadow and he would revive at full health.. Was tough having to kill him 4x lol.

I've built a 2 star singed many times.. Zed, seems much rarer. Maybe more folks building him but even games I have seen no one building zed, he seems to pop up way less than singed. I guess, that's rng, I mean skill for ya..

Summoner Mages. You HAVE to get at least 1, if not 2 Mage's cap, and you require Annie, and Malz or Zyra for sure to make it work. Zed is viable, but again, you require Tier 2 and the 2 items mentioned for him to be good.

Olaf is by far, the easiest to get other than Blender (Nocturne blademaster). But even Blender has a few requirements and if you don't meet all of them, you're kind of boned since Blademaster by itself is absolute trash as a comp and you won't make it to a proper blender comp.
