EPTAlso I have to agree that starting at wraiths with jungle Olaf is much better than Blue Golem as he is an easy target if the enemy team were to gank him. I usually start wraiths, mini golems, tp then blue into wolves, to wraiths, red and mini golems again. By then you should have enough for a HoG and maybe boots if you ganked and scored a kill.

On a completely unrelated note, is Malady just a bad item? I hear people making fun of those who use it on Twitch, for example, but I just tried it on Tristana and won two games in a row. What's the deal, yo? | ||

It's just some people can't join it even though it's the same name as what they type in. Hmm really? That is strange. Someone should go inform Riot of the problem, if they already aren't working on fixing it. Yea I never have that problem........ but at times it is pretty lonesome in the chat. | ||

Attack speed is bad on heroes that aren't Kog'maw because you'll very rarely be able to chain more than 1 or 2 attacks unless you stack attack speed, in which case you do no damage. Life leech is bad because it doesn't actually increase your damage, but you need it somewhere (Wriggles', Bloodthirster, etc) so you don't die to incidental damage. The passive is bad because you need to hit 6 times to fully stack it. a Long Sword would have given you 60 damage over those hits, where the Malady gives you only 55. Malady is an 1890 gold item that increases your single hit damage by 0 and your 2-hit damage by 5. For 85 more, you can buy a Recurve Bow and a Pickaxe and be 2/3 the way to Madred's, doing 90 more damage over the 6 hits, or for 20g more you can buy an entire Manamune, which scales amazingly with many ranged heroes. | ||

Theoretically I understand what you're saying, but I find it hard to find an early-game item that offers survivability in a solo lane plus at least a little attack speed. Not to mention it lets me lane forever without having to go back. I'll try rushing madred's first and see how that goes. | ||
