I play olaf a lot and pretty much do a build pretty close to this.

I feel like Boots of Swiftness are probably a better choice than merc. treads. Olaf has no natural way to catch people if they are out of axe range/you missed with the axe b/c you're a scrub.

Im not crazy about lantern either, the wards are nice but the main source of damage is your E attack anyways. You need to be building tanky as olaf anyways which wriggles doesnt help (much) either, and its fairly expensive. Getting it means you delay your Randuins Omen which gives you Armor + Health (Tanky), CDR to allow you to cast your E more, and a snare, all of which olaf needs asap. Delaying this to get a (maybe) fast dragon and free wards just just doesnt seem worth gimping your midgame effectiveness so much.

I'd also consider getting some source of HP on olaf, between the crazy diving he does and hurting yourself to do damage with E, you can wear yourself down pretty quick regardless of armor, also it synergizes with your W for increased damage.

On a similar note, anyone have any thoughts on Warmogs for Olaf?

Olaf doesn't farm well enough to justify it. Especially by the point you'd get it, it's not going to be cost-effective, especially compared to HoG.

I like Lantern because I can actually threaten dragon with it (painfully slow otherwise), it speeds up my jungle and farming, it gives me free wards, and it lets me stick around longer. Also, free wards.

Ive been wondering about my Play with Olaf
usually i go
ghost/smite
1/14/15 or something like that i think,
armpen/armor reds, armor yellow, magic rez blue, health quints

WQEEER(i think you can do that) then R>E>Q>W

cloth + 5 pots
HoG
Swifties(basically you cant be disabled in your ult and you can charge into people with it..)
Randuins(obv)
Spirit Visage(hp+cdr)
Then Soul Shroud or try to hog blue buff for 40% cdr for TRUE DAMAGE SPAM
then FoN or whatever late game

is this is a good setup for Olaf or is there something better?..

Is 1-8-21 or 1-14-15 better on brolaf?
I actually like being at low health in the early stages (before my first b) so in a weird ass way the defensive masteries might actually hinder me LOL
and the ultimate util is so nice with smite <3

I like to golemjack people as Prolaf. Twingols -> wolves -> golem is very nice and people rarely watch side entrances for some reason. Poke your nose where it doesn't belong - you are PROlaf after all.

I prefer 1/8/21 because CDR is a lovely stat on Olaf.

I find "1-8-21 vs 1-14-15" on any jungler depending on your enemies. 1-14-15 is safer, 1-8-21 is actually better. However if you play non-ranked, pick Olaf, go 1-8-21 and they pick eve you have to forget about going blue buff first.

even in ranked, i doubt 1-14-15 will save you from an eve / twitch gank
What scenario in particular would you go 1-14-15 in as Olaf?

I would go 1-14-15 on Olaf if i cared about strong early game and was afraid of counterjungling. Maybe you are right and you don't need 1-14-15 at all but it surely does give me some "mental comfort"

so got olaf cause i wanted a jungler, and started him in unranked (just hit 30) and I keep getting screwed 1 game they had like 5 kills before 6 minutes, another game, they had olaf and ww jungling, ww starting thier golems, olaf starting our wraiths, but my team never tried to gank thier olaf and got raped by the duo gank squad, and the last game their jungle udyr screwed up my pattern cause my team wouldn't protect when I asked and he was able to ward blue.

Any tips on how to deal with these kinds of situations.

seriously get better teammates or play ranked so that you don't run into olaf as olaf xD

honestly if you know when and where their jungler is in your jungle it is so easy to kill them with even 1 other teammate, you just need that minimal coordination
