To fight against Olaf, build Quicksilver, Red Buff, and Thornmail.

If you specifically go for these over damage items, you likely won't even make it far enough to fight Olaf. Realistically, if another player has a similar level of luck to you (Or higher) and builds an Olaf comp, you just lose. Unless you're also going with an Olaf comp, of course. Aside from Olaf being overpowered on his own, he can easily build into poison, berserker, predator, and glacial all at once.

Olaf comps have MORE than replaced shapeshifter comps in terms of builds that literally have it all (No real counters whatsoever). They can freeze your entire team constantly, tank, do great damage, AND cuck you out of your spells. Oh, and they can also insta-kill you once you go below a certain level of health because of the predator execution bonus.

deathblade + rageblade + hurricane... yea that sounds like draven

kinda sucks even more that olaf is able to perma freeze units but yea

To be fair, olaf is more powerful than draven at this rate, no one cared much about draven's ability since your autos did more damage than it really, but olaf's just increases his attack speed more, bonus range, and free healing for the remainder of the match, all without the need of items.

Ive played 2 games of set 2 and the best comparisons I can make it Vlad/Shyvanna and Renekton/Darius.

SImilar builds and carry potential. Ren has basically the same spell as darius just smaller but instant. Shyvanna and Vlad both heal insane amounts and can be just unkillabe

I can't verbalize it yet, but I think of Kindred holding the spot that Shyvana did. Shyvana had much more carry potential than Vladimir.

Annie takes Gnar's place. Brand subs for Aurelion Sol.

I'm thinking Zed reminds me of Swain, probably.

As a class, Infernals are supposed to take the place of Sorcerors, but they're considerably weaker, as there is no $5 Infernal; usually, to build the 6 you need to include two $1 champions, and the class trait is much weaker, since it does not apply to allies. Sorcerer included two cheap high CC units (Lulu and Morgana); Infernal has nothing like that.

Summoners would replace Shapeshifters, as a class, and their trait is parallel. The Group is stronger, since a 6-comp includes two $4 champions, while Shapeshifters had two $1 champions. I think that Shapeshifters had more convenient synergies.

Berserkers replace Brawlers, and Olaf takes Cho'Gath space, but I don't recall Cho'Gath ever feeling this unbeatable.
