How do you play Olaf?

I heard people say Olaf is pretty OP (inb4 your mom is op), but what make him strong? What do you build on him? What summoner spells do you use on him? How do you even play him?

In order: -The fact that he can completely ignore all forms of crowd control every few minutes in a meta where champs like Veigar are getting popular while also being a decent duelist -Things like Dead Man's plate, Black Cleaver and Righteous Glory that give him movement speed and tankiness which he uses to run over squishy backline champs whether they have CC or not -Teleport and ghost, so that he can always have map presence and run over backline champs -Find a good, safe target. Then pop your ultimate + every movespeed enhance you have and run them over with your slows from Q

Opinion: He seems to be in a decent spot right now, not necessarily OP

Olaf has a great kit. I play Full Lifesteal Olaf, as I don't do well with Tanklof. After ravenous, thirster, BoRK, and youmuus, one can solo baron if not caught. Lifesteal allows you to take on almost anything IF you can reach them. Use axe to poke, e to last hit minions and extra poke if enemy is too close. Be careful how many axes you throw early, as Olaf has early mana problems. Don't all in till they have less than 50% health. Only flip Ragnarok if at almost full or at full health, as you WILL be nursted down( stupid amounts of lifesteal help compensate for this)

Don't forget to ward
