Olaf is one of my favorite champions to jungle with simple because I can take instead of . Has smite in his E (not exactly or ) but it works. I don't need a because of his W or a because of his R. I feel like a sniper when throwing his that 45% slow is nice.

Alas, we get to the problem. That slow is soft CC and doesn't really allow you to do anything outside of land his mini . He doesn't have a legit way to engage meaning my only damage with him is spamming his Q then maybe getting one to 3 E's in on a retreating enemy. The only time I've actually been engaged are by people who aren't familiar with 's W being a passive .

The only time I got a fully engaged full health fights where against . Disengaging was easy for everybody else.

I'm too the point where I think my only option is to be able to utilize his AA. Is this the only way or is there an alternate option?

ghost + ult = very scary

Your problem seems to be that you are running summoner 21 summoner 3 rather than the vastly superior summoner 11 summoner 6 that makes Olaf function as a champion.

With summoner 11 you suddenly have vastly faster/safer jungle clear, Dragon/Baron secure, free ward sweeps from smiting Raptors, free wards from smiting Wolves, and the choice between more true damage+damage reduction or a move speed steal if you need more engage. Which is sounds like you do. So move speed steal smite to so your opponent can't get away from you.

With summoner 6 and ult (And smite) you move at a billion miles an hour, can't be stopped, move through minions, hit all the axes and pick them back up for cooldown resets, and murder all the faces. It also has a vastly lower cooldown than Flash, so you can use it way more often.

Combined, those two summoners make Olaf literally impossible to peel. If the enemy can't hop over a wall (In which case, you just turn around and murder someone else) they are dead. While Olaf isn't an engage tank, he is this unstoppable wall barreling at the enemy backfield. If you can force a fight, the only way for the enemy team to deal with a ghosting Olaf who smites the enemy ADC is for the entire team to focus him with everything they have and hope they kill him before he kills the ADC. And while this is happening, your entire team is murdering them. In theory.
