Eh I've never felt Olaf uses much mana. E is free and W is like no mana, the only thing using mana is Q and that's situational at best. As even with just a Frozen Heart you should be at full mana almost all the time, the pool's more than enough to last for a duration of a fight with Q spam

Biggest thing is he does get mana starved in jungle early on pre wriggles.

Of course, when I play him I just get wriggles and boots at the 7 minute mark. Blue+q=fastest wriggles on anyone.

So, why would you jungle Olaf?

He's so stronk top. Also FH bad on him cause the entire Mana is wasted. Yes, wasted.

Dunno. Since he clears fast, if the lanes are picked strongly so that they shouldn't require too much support (if not outplayed) and your top or mid isn't a hard carry type so he can cede farm later on? Well, that could be said for some other champs that can gank well on top of it...

Cuz he jungles faster than pretty much anyone, has a very strong 1v1, and slap a triforce on that mofo and you are gonna be able to 1v3. No joke.

Only thing is I think I need to adjust my runes a bit- armpen/armor/mrlvl/flat mr might be the way to go because of how easy it is to get armor for him, but there really arent many good mr options (wits is good, but you cant 2nd buy it like on most people).

Wriggles, zerks, Hog, Triforce as a core makes him VERY deadly. Essentially build him the same way you would jungleplank. Then enjoy the result.

Wriggles, zerks, Hog, Triforce as a core makes him VERY dead.

You're playing someone who gapcloses worse than Udyr as a glasscannon with less xp and farm than solo lanes.

Apart from the fact that youre suggestion about 6k items as core from the jungle, same issue as with all the people throwing out Triforce Skarner as "core" build.


Olaf clears slower than real AoE junglers. Olaf ganks weaker than real gankers. Basicly he's in a weird place junglewise that's leaving him behind atm. Solo top is a whole different story, but jungling him makes not much sense atm - there are just way stronger options available.

Edit: IF I were to jungle him I'd run around the likes of Wriggles/Aegis/Shurelyas/Phage/Brutalizer - if you farm up a Triforce or other big damage items you'll get blown up, if you farm up big tank items you're ignorable.

I just can't take any build with zerks on a melee these days seriously. They always seem reasonable, but I always come crawling back to mercs or tabi. Heck even cdr boots would be better on olaf.

If only his Q wasn't such a mana hog, and offered some other utility other than just a 25-50% slow (maybe an attack speed slow or a small flat armor reduction?). And his lack of scaling is another problem. W scaling with max HP is ok, but no scaling on E and really bad AD scaling on his Q limit his damage by a large amount.

His passive is pretty neat and his ult is really nice for a engaging bruiser designed to be sort of an anticarry, kinda like Irelia. His E chunks pretty hard, and his W gives him ok sustain. Maybe if they buff him up for jungle a bit he'll be too strong in lane.

Did you just bitch about Olafs SCALING?

If anything, that is not his problem. He's easily the same tier as Irelia or Nasus in that regard.

You don't need scaling on E when you're doing 340 true damage every 3-4 seconds. Olaf's issues stem from having trouble staying in fights, both in terms of being kited and from trouble not dying, notably impeded by the reflected damage of E.

Just try it. Olaf is the only jungle I have ever played where you outpace the respawns in the new jungle. An 8 minute wriggles and boots is a BAD game on him. No joke. Plus he has a better 1v1 than any of the aoe clearers save shyvana (who has her w and q to rape everyone's face in).

His gank is actually pretty good. His axe is very long range, and very hard to miss. And if he hits you with an axe you will die.

Another thing you are forgetting is that his dragon control is incredible. He can solo it at any time, without any help.

As for the build- GP has less mitigation than Olaf does, less sustain in fights, and about equal steroids, yet HoG->tri is an acceptable core on him but not Olaf?

Grab ghost, pop your ult, and go kill a carry. Its basically as simple as that.

And slayers- I go zerks cuz I use them for farming. Mercs/tabi dont help you survive a fight cuz of your ult. Once its out your dead anyway, why not just get the maximum utility out of it.

I find it difficult to believe you can just dive a carry with that build, even with your ult it feels like they can just blow you up. I might try some olaf though, although I always tend to feed with him when I random him.

Olaf is definitely one of the faster cleaers though, at least when you have blue buff. You can't get much faster than udyr/shyvana though, they can base and arrive in time for respawns as well.

dunno about shyv, but olaf with blue def faster clearer than udyr, axe spam 2 stronk. Therein lies some of the problem tho, kus his jungle speed is so reliant on blue, and udyr clear without blue > olaf clear without blue. He's a great pick when u got some1 like vlad or kennen mid so u don't have to give up blue early on.

Depends, If we're talking like level 7+ I don't see how clearing a camp 1-2 seconds quicker is going to help versus have udyr with all the movement speed masteries and quints letting you move around quicker, it's probably pretty even. Also blue buff isn't always up either.

What masteries for jungle olaf? I imagine you want MS and buff duration, but defense and offensive are both good on him.

And basically my thought process is thus:

Wriggles+hog+phage+ult is enough to keep you alive for the duration of his ult (trust me on this, it is). The choice from there is thus:

I either A) build to maximize the damage I do while my ult is up, knowing that once its out I'm gonna die anyway

or B) Do no damage, live a bit through my ult, but still do no damage.

Basically, you can get the farm from the jungle to do 1 of 2 things: tank or damage. Olaf already has obscene damage mitigation, why bother itemizing it when you can just itemize damage and maximize your usefulness by diving through the enemy team and onto the carry. If they ignore you you kill every single person on their team. They focus you, you have enough mitigation to make them regret it, chew through all their stuns, and your team collects the kills after you die cuz your ult ran out.

Slay- I run a standard 0-21-9 tanky jungle page. I go with SV version (ie none of the 17 point talents)
