I dont know it just feels right for me to get frozen and leave red for carry. Also i max w first because olaf is autoattack champ. Getting ghost blade wriggle and starks get with your w hudge lifesteal and more your hit the bigger your as gets. Also armor pen from ghost blade do nicely with ult passive

So, it was announced already that Olaf is getting some buffs.


However, in the Patch Preview Spotlight today I only get that they want to make the activation of his ult break current CC on Olaf but in exchange lowered the duration of his Ult.

Did I miss something or are these all the buffs (plural of buffs is a joke in that case) Morello said we would **** bricks if we saw them? -.-

In addition, except for really hard CC like stun or suppression, you already could use his ult to escape if you were under the influence of current cc (for example Morgana bind: it hits you -> R -> free).

The fact is now you can hold off on using the ult until you need it, which is huge. Now you FORCE someone to waste their CC on you (because if they don't you don't waste your ult, and can continue to eat their faces) which you can then cleanse and then be immune to. This is going to be crippling to low-CC teams and still a not-insignificant annoyance to heavy-CC teams.

It's not like you can just let Olaf auto attack all day while trying to focus him down because he has such insane innate sustain from his W but now that he doesn't have to "waste" his ult early he will overall be much harder to deal with.

Food for Thought: Will it work like Remove Scurvy and remove all forms of CC including Suppression?

like, already said by little fancy, olaf can already get out of most CC's with the old ult.
You can get out of snares and slows, withers, or projectile stuns, such as taric, sion...
Plus if you wait to eat a CC then ult, you will just get kited even more. Most of the time you activate it before you go in, so they can't stop you, but now if you "eat the CC first", you stop even for a moment, the enemy can then create more distance, so you will have to run more, combine that with the time reduction, it's definitely a nerf to his team fighting.

And I think this is very important point: "Olaf can ALREADY get out of most CC's"


The ult change is both a buff and a nerf. A buff for early game, where you are more 1v1'ing and clearning out of CC is more important and a nerf late game, because your ult also provided you with 40% damage reduction and eating a CC is then use your ult ensures you get kited even more.


Idk, what do you guys think? This is just my personal opinion from playing Olaf

edit: I don't think it's been mentioned, but the changes are going to be from 5/6.5/8 second duration to a flat 6 seconds duration.

The only problem i have having with olaf top is getting ganked pre level 6, all these level 2 riven and leesin ganks really hurt. It's like you have to start boots when you might want to start cloth.
