But you can see right now with Olaf that even minor changes to a champ that can shrug off CC who does decent damage is very dangerous. His rework really hasn't changed much in the way of making him easier to balance. And his kit (also Irelia) isn't even top 10 difficulty. I'm so glad nobody plays Olaf anymore. Hopefully he can stay fucking dumb and obscure for a few months or so. | ||

The best build I saw was ghostblade, shiv, raduins and banshees. I am glad someone has tried ghostblade on Yasuo, I don't own him but it just seems so nice on him, i don't know how much he likes CDR but every other stat seems great for him and the active seems like it would be nice to use post-ult to get off more autos while you have the extra armor pen. | ||

Iunno...maybe it's because there are more op options right now but Olaf doesn't seem too bad atm. His pick/ban and winrates in competitive are solid, but nothing too absurd. Could just be masked by how powerful jungle Elise and Lee See are, but Olaf's stats seem ok and balanceable. OGN stats: Link Sub 50% winrate with 52% pick/ban rate. He's strong for sure, but can be tuned down. I'm more surprised Elise hasn't received any more nerfs yet. The biggest problem about Irelia is imo her passive. 40% free tenacity is just ridiculous. If she deals good damage, then she becomes a problem the way old Olaf was a problem. If she doesn't do damage, then she's ignorable and thus bad like she is now. | ||

In solo queue, he's picked in less than 9% of games with a 47% winrate. In Diamond, it goes up to ~10% pickrate with 40% winrate. Large enough sample size? Heck, if we add in Battle of the Atlantic, in the 4 non-relegation games, Olaf was banned once and picked once into a loss. Not saying he's weak - Olaf is definitely strong, easily top 3~4 jungle picks right now. But it's nothing like his pre-rework status. | ||

If she doesn't do damage, then she's ignorable and thus bad like she is now. Olaf is not terribly OP right now (just very strong, after, I would remind you, being weak before with only minor changes), but I don't see him staying at those levels once the game is changed in the slightest. And I mean, even in OGN players are terribly misusing his ult and basically absorbing half the damage they could by just standing there and not ulting. That is just an inherent problem with his new kit where he has an initiation ult that you don't want to initiate with, which is also a disengage ult you don't really want to disengage with. Edit: The difference between rework, and pre-rework Olaf is that the latter had a kit that made sense, and was OP because of a temporary situation caused by S3 changes (and his numbers), the former is strong because his kit makes no sense, but wherever/whenever he gets to use it sensibly he just destroys people. If teams figure him out he will drop out, or if they figure out how to ult properly (also, elise nerfs lol) FOTM. | ||

Did you even look at the link? There's 48 games so far in OGN. You can add on the 4 Battle of the Atlantic games (non-relegation; I don't have the stats for that) too if you want. While, yes, it's not a huge sample size it's basically all we have and it's not so small that it's statistically irrelevant. While Team Dark did troll one of their games and NB was definitely outclassed, the two Jin Air teams aren't terrible considering they were able to take games off of Storm and Frost | ||

I'd like to see Riot lower the base damage on her skills/spiderlings across the board and buff her ratios to compensate. She jsut gets too much damage for free without building much AP. Either that or make her stun scale up to 1.5 seconds. | ||

Well, that is just an artifact of Riot pretending that Ghost is never on cooldown. Like, literally, pre-rework they constantly talked about how Ghost + Ult Olaf was really strong. As if Ult + Summoner on most champions is not really strong. So Olaf is now strong if he has Ghost (or Ghostlike effect), and less so without. | ||

It has more-so to do with the fact that Olaf can dive to the backline near-guaranteed as is through his ult, and the Ghost-like effects make it like 99% certain, and if the enemy team focuses him down then he did his job cause then your own backline is shredding the enemy team up. | ||

They just gave Elise an enormous buff this patch that makes her clear a lot faster and increases her burst by a ton. That's a pretty stupid thing to do considering that she was extremely good even before that. I agree that she should have less base dmg, forcing people to actually build AP. Perhaps increasing the scaling of her Qs and lowering the base dmg, as well as reducing her spiderform / spiderling base dmg and increasing the ap ratio. Things like that. Oh and about diving to the backline, it's funny that Poppy can do that much more comfortably than Olaf but is considered trash. typo | ||
