My usual jungle build for most tanky champs is cloth amor +5 pots -> boots before red -> 2x HOG -> 2x negatrons. Then i upgrade 1 hog to randuin if they have scarier AD champs or i upgrade negatron to either FON or Banshee's (recently i've started loving FON way more)

And i think my build actually gives you the best stats for the money you invest, however at the cost of "utility" (so you have very late CDR and slow from randu, ms/regen from fon, etc etc)

Yeah indeed. Though razor speeds up dragon so much that it's painful soloing dragon on most champs w/o it (even though most of the time you have to fight for dragon anyway)

lantern is great on olaf tho because it synergizes so well with his W

speaking as the bravest olaf (i once built 6 HoG and nothing else, truth)

best build is

cloth+5
madred
HoG
HoG+boots
lantern
swiftness
randuin/banshee depending on team, usually banshee though
FoN
atmas

Olaf is as much of a tank now as Garen. However as Mog said the criteria for tanks have changed. Back then you could split melee heroes into "things that soak up damage and output a mediocre amount of damage, mostly affecting battles with their CC or none at all" and "things that do a ridiculous amount of damage at the cost of actually staying in battle" like Yi. Most people figured Olaf would be the latter, given that he has an OP amount of CC.

Nowadays Garen, full-tank Xin, etc are considered "tanks" and are effective. This puts Olaf squarely in the bracket of them Udyr etc. which are tanks that do some decent damage and mostly just outlast the shit out of opponents. What happened to make this viable? Tough to say. Think back to when Olaf was released and everyone ran mass CC + ranged DPS teams.

Anyway rupture does more damage so get it over scream unless they've got a champ you 100% can't kill without silence and probably can kill with.

Rupture scales better in a way that it gives 10 more dmg at lvl 3 and 5 more dmg at lvl 5. From my experience scream is better at harassing, zoning, farming (AoE can hit more minions), and can hit more, also costs tiny bit less mana. While silence doesn't scale well, at least it actually scales. I can't see a situation where I would want rupture lvled instead of scream with exception being 1v2 lane.

edit: Okay, I thought about this, and the main reason I take rupture is because W takes too much time to start moving again after you hit them and you don't use it to chase ever. It's 100x easier to hit rupture on someone running away from you than it is to hit scream.

I mean, purely theory crafting... I don't see the reason to level rupture up... Unless the champions section on the LoL website is out of date on Cho, all that scales up is the damage, which while great, just doesn't seem as important as getting your silence duration up. I mean, doesn't it have the same effect at level 1 as level 5 in the situations you're talking about 5hit? I don't see the reason you need like 10 more points of burst over another quarter second of silence.

I dunno, I find that rupture farms better than scream and it has a shorter cooldown by a ton. I can't explain exactly why but I'm 100% sure rupture is the better option because you're bursting with cc in a short amount of time and scream's range is pathetic, it's only a bit larger than feast.

Srsly though whenever i see DPS Olafs they either play like yi or drop like flies. Maybe i haven't seen good DPS Olaf?

tank olaf does almost as much damage anyway. lessee... lemme check my criteria for figuring out how to build this character.

1. Is Olaf a character in League of Legends? yep

OK, so with that criteria filled, I will suggest the following, highly theorycrafted build suited to your character's characteristics:
omen, veil, atma's, GOGOGOGOGO.


I remember when Olaf came out and I said "could be the next great tank" and everyone in the thread said "WTF you noob he's DPS".

I'll just go ahead and say that what "tank" meant back then and what "tank" means now has changed considerably.

he is DPS :D... he just tanks some damage while doing it... noob :D


This was when people were saying "OMG you have to rush mallet on him".

Which, by the way, still makes no sense to me. Why would a slow, when he already has a low CD one, be so exciting on him?

I think its good health
my build on j ungle laf usually goes

cloth + 5 pots
razors
boots 1
wriggles
berseker/merc
mallet
sunfire
atmas
sunfire

always have a red elixir up
you just ghost in and fuck some poor carrys day up

I'll just go ahead and say that all the best Olafs I've seen get HoG off their cloth armor start and build essentially 100% tank.


Yeaaaaah... I'm gonna have to ask you to, uh, go ahead and play LoL on Saturday. Sooo...if you could be on at 9am, that'd be greeeeat.

Seriously I've mained cho for like 500+ wins, rupture's the way to go on SR and TT. Cho's role is also much different on TT than SR and having 1 point in w to interrupt channels and turn teamfights into run away fights is all you need. You'll be level 18 when everyone else is 14 anyway because you farm so hard. If you're close enough to scream at them why not just feast them? This might all change next patch when Rylais becomes useful on Cho. Slow on Vorpal is gonna be strong.

I get it cause it speeds up jungling quite a bit even without blue/lets you do dragon ALOT easier,turning it into wriggles for the free ward has helped me alot.

I mostly just play him as a run in and shit on some poor carries face then sit there spamming E on anything not tank

My win-loss record is inching closer and closer to 50-50, and I'm still utterly convinced Malph is the right champion for me. The survivability coupled with the ability to chase people FOREVER coupled with the the epic amounts of AoE damage he's capable of is just awesome ^^

Or maybe it's just that I hate Kat, and Malph is a great counter to her once he starts stacking armor.

Either way. Also, Tier 3 runes are EXPENSIVE

how is malph a counter to kat, she does almost 100% magic dmg

edit: the only way i could see him being a counter is strictly due to his passive fucking up her pokey pokey shit early game, but you specifically said later on when you start stacking armor. this is where is i lose track of where you're going

edit2: even then, who the fuck solo mids malph? besides me that is

i suppose i should note that every bloody time i play malph, its like we have a jungler, a solo, and two duo lane heroes, so i kinda get stuck going mid >.<
