EPTPersonally I think CDR is a little overated on Olaf at this point- people get armor really late and if you get a black cleaver, you're doing near true damage against most people's base armor. So just building more damage is really good too.

His base damage is usually enough to kill the carry. | ||

Several quadra kills later I learned the extent of how broken katarina is after trying it out It's an interesting concept. Rather than forcing the reset by doing tons of initial damage, voyboy's build is based on living long enough so that he will invariably get the reset, and then continue to do a lot of damage. | ||

Olaf is really strong because there's such a high incentive to build health (which benefits his w), his ult gives free armor penetration (which hasn't been lowered to compensate for the season 3 changes... yet), and the active part of the ult gives free resistances. Personally I think CDR is a little overated on Olaf at this point- people get armor really late and if you get a black cleaver, you're doing near true damage against most people's base armor. So just building more damage is really good too. You get the CDR to spam his mana-less true damage spell that ignores armor anyway, I wouldn't say that's overrated. If you build tank/CDR you can dive in and blow up a squishy and survive, as opposed to building damage where diving is much riskier and your burst isn't as strong. | ||

Ask your jungler to give you his blue if you're on the bottom side if the map. Blue axe spam is what can win you the lane with no ganks ever again. Idk I liked a bruta first into kindel into warmogs bc omen shurelias SV build in lanes that were easy. If its a hard lane just warmogs first and you can't lose. | ||

If you build tank/CDR you can dive in and blow up a squishy and survive, as opposed to building damage where diving is much riskier and your burst isn't as strong. That's not even the only thing that CDR is giving you. You're also getting ~1 second cooldown Axe throws (PHYSICAL damage, so black cleaver is perfectly happy with that) because of the -6 sec when you pick up the axe. When you have 40% CDR, your axe comes off cooldown the instant you pick it up. Your W - a Lifesteal-Spellvamp-AD steroid is up over 80% of the time (6 seconds on, 1.2 seconds off.) Cooldown rocks, and it's not just for his Reckless Swing. I don't think you need the BT - get a CDR item instead. The fact that your ADVampLS steroid is up more often will make up for the missing BT and you can pick up a Glacial Shroud-based item (I prefer FH of the two) or a Spirit Visage. Toss in CDR boots or Shurelias. Cleaver is fine, though. No problems with brutalizer/cleaver on Olaf. It's all the offensive stats he wants, plus some HP. Locket > Sunfire Cape IMO too. Similar primary stats (Armor + Health), cheaper, better build flow for olaf (KINDLEGEM!) and some regen (no complaints) and a really nice active. Besides, Olaf needs no help pushing waves, and nobody lives long enough for the sunfire damage to really have a long time to work (he's pretty bursty, as bruisers go.) Compare to Shen, who loves the sunfire cape because it gives him what he's missing (waveclear) but also enhances the way he fights (never die, whittle them down) | ||

I played as Singed yesterday and built Rod/Rylai's/Sunfire/Banshee's/Abyssal and people were absolutely hating it. | ||

Olaf's Axe reset was nerfed to be -4.5sec. I only realised this lately too ;/ | ||
