Might be because of Nightblue3's stream and everyone falling in love with XJ9 style jungling.


As I've said before, Nightblue is just shitty XJ9. He taxes more indiscriminately (read: stupidly) than XJ9, isn't efficient, and doesn't carry nearly as hard ;;

Did XJ9 quit the game? Dont see him stream anymore....maybe he commited suicide ( not joking)

I wouldn't really know to much in regards to itemization for Olaf, but it seems how his E works is that it makes his extended trades in 1v1's pretty deadly. Also Frozen Heart blows so much donkey nuts; wish Riot fixed the item.

Unless you build offensive items, your damage at level 9+ is going to come from reckless swing for a good portion, and CDR amplifies that. Having something like 10-15% also lets you put undertow off cooldown as soon as you pick it up (something like 2s cd without CDR).
I tend to like FH because resistances work well with his lifesteal and passive, but since resistances got fucked in terms of cost-effectiveness (and a bit the penetration changes) and you can't just afk farm anymore...

Hm... maybe Sunfire into another belt to say fuck to burst, build BotRK or Ghostblade, then finish warmogs?
I feel naked compared to champions like Jax who build triforce, since you only get 395 MS with boots 2 and no mobility spells.

yeah having sivir with olaf removes the need for ghostblade. The thing is buying 100 AD on olaf gives you only 40 more true damage, not really worth. Base AD is enough to make your E pretty good. R is a 40-80 AD steriod and W is a 40-80% AS steriod. Axe is a fairly good slow. Mostly you need tank stats and some mobility. Maybe trinity is the best after all damage wise. CDR if its good (dont play enough olaf to know) is doable from jungle with masteries+10% golem item+15% boots+10% brutalizer. (though you probably prefer hexdrinker or phage)

He is broken in the sense that he is a very difficult champion to balance properly. So I shed no tears for ZAC lovers, who should have expected this from the start.

Its not like they released an OP Jarvan or Ahri, ZAC's kit is always going to be really hard to get the numbers right on.


I disagree. He was pretty balanced at the end of S3. He is just bad now because mana junglers are better. The jungle changes didn't even impact too much... itemization changes to jungle did.


When was ZAC jungle the only problem? Do you OGN?


Top lane ZAC was played because he could 1v2 and was particularly resilient to 3v1 tower dives.

You're thinking way too therycrafty I think. You damage is most likely enough to wreck any squishy champ if you time your ghost ult right, and your true damage and slows are good vs bruisers.
Lifesteal is pretty much irrelevant in a teamfight, unless you're an ADC who deals tons of damage and even then its mostly used for sustain in poke wars and lane. You shouldnt rely on healing at all and just go pure hp for maximum EHP (theres a huge cutoffpoint for when its not worth getting hp because of his R passive and your true-self damage inflicted especailly if you're going to get ignited at some point, you want like 3.5k hp~ before its better to start getting any resists probably, and you'll get resists anyway if you get randuins and sunfire and hexdrinker or banshees)
Looking at his stats again I doubt you need any damage items really.

Olafs W should be seen purely as a laning tool and jungle sustain. Even nasus who does like 1k damage with his Q cant rely on his lifesteal too much.

Hey guys, what are your current thoughts on Darius? Given that the meta right now is full of tanky top laners, he seems like a good pick against most of them due to the free armor pen and his ability to get tanky himself. I'm thinking something along the lines of Hydra, Cleaver and 3 defensive items. Does anyone play him or is it just not worth practicing him right now?
Inno pls...

Ya that's what I mentioned, unless you come from the jungle (where items like spirits and locket are more easily seen) bruisers have trouble itemising CDR since the SV nerf. Randuin's doesn't give that 5%, you only get 5% if you invest in offense over getting 8% in defense in s2, the fusioned Locket is uninteresting (pre-fusion was actually pretty neat on several off laners if you would buy it early enough), FH has been brutally shafted, noone would buy Zeke's because its slot-effectiveness is really bad when it comes to AD, and brutaliser and its upgrades aren't for everyone.

With a high level W and a low health Olaf and BotRK, you're looking at something like ~30% lifesteal x1.2, 36% lifesteal isn't that bad when you attack almost twice per second when you stick to people. I mean, obvously it won't turn you into Mundo, but you can easily buy 2-3 more seconds (which is an E for sure if you have CDR, and half its cd otherwise) of diverting attention.
Def. not worth valuing resistances over HP though, sadly.

Indeed, IDK why Riot made him so AA-Reliant in the rework. It just doesn't work in LOL right now. I think its a shame, because I like the sustained-damage model of autoattacks when compared to something like Renekton or Zed but it just isn't that feasible to hit a lot of autos unless you are splitpushing. Irelia really suffers from this, but even Jax isn't really that great of a teamfighter right now. He is just a sick splitpusher once he gets his items rolling, but really needs a different build order, and more items to teamfight.

just forget about lifesteal. If you're at low hp you're likely to get ignited and CC'd and insta killed.

I feel like Jax is dependent on getting Bork/Triforce ASAP, then you can pretty much solo anyone in the game without very much effort.
