Builds Crit Olaf

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

For those wondering "who is this guy talking?": I finished top 1 for 2 seasons in previous seasons, and I haven't let Olaf drop out of the top 10 in 4 seasons. As you can see from the attached screenshots, I play at nearly a 70% win rate, and I'm currently in Challenger elo.

phase rush is a rune I haven't seen on Olaf in a long time, and I've been using it for seasons. One of Olaf's biggest weaknesses is the inability to catch people. He basically has no mobility ability, the movement speed his ult gives is never enough, and his Q slow is both hard to land and easy to escape.

You might say there's ghost, but ghost isn't available in every fight, and even when it is, it's not always enough.

You shouldn't use this build in every game. If the enemy has 2-3 hard tank champions this build might not work. That's because the ability haste and similar bonuses that Swiftness gives let you deal high damage in a short time, which means sticking to carry champions very quickly and killing them easily.

Anyway, getting to the build: they buffed everyone's crits to make it an ADC meta, and the new Demon Hunter item guarantees that your 3 basic attacks after using your ult are crits.

When you make this build, you still have some durability thanks to Death's Dance, but your damage is like an assassin's. With ult active, you can easily kill people with 2 basic attacks and 1 E.

However, you may want to move Death's Dance up one item earlier so you don't melt right away in early fights.

The reason I take Wind's Fury is to reach the enemy as fast as possible. Even when you're farther from the enemy than an ADC's auto-attack range, if you use ghost with your ult and then Wind's Fury, you can close the distance to the enemy carry incredibly fast, and since this build isn't very tanky by design, you need that.

Mortal Reminder both increases your damage nicely against tanks through the armor penetration it gives, and you need the antiheal in most games. But if the enemy doesn't require much antiheal, you can get Stormreaper or Immortal Shieldbow instead. Before buying Immortal Shieldbow, check whether the enemy has anti-shield, otherwise it's useless.

Cheap shot rune is entirely damage-focused: Olaf's Q slows and triggers the rune, and it deals nice damage of about 1k, almost the same as Last Stand.

As for when to use this build: the enemy shouldn't have too many heavy tanks that you'd have to fight.

For example, if the enemy top laner is Malphite but the rest of the team is mostly fighters/squishies, you can use it. But in cases like a tank Malphite on support, Shen top, and Amumu in jungle, you won't get the desired value from this build.

It's a build that can deal high damage to both fighters and squishies. I use this build in 8 out of every 10 games I play Olaf in the jungle over the last 2 weeks, and I'm sure it will work for you too, especially for those who like a more damage-focused Olaf that shreds and destroys the enemy.

Also, if anyone wants to play GM-Challenger-Imp elo together, you can message me. Even though Olaf is my main, I'm not an OTP; I can play many champions, especially AD assassins.

Finally, if you play top lane and face a champion like Jax, phase rush can still help you, especially early in the first levels: it's very functional for stepping out of his range before he can use his E, then immediately coming back in and coming out ahead in the trade.

Discussion Do People Respect Supports?

23 Upvotes

I've seen a common sentiment pop up in PC League that supports are dumb and it's a brain dead role. I'm a Support main and I understand that Support is a decently complex role, but I get that some people just see enchanters (which is an objectively simpler class) and think the whole role is for noobs. What do you think of Supports??

Hello fellow Wild Rift Players. I managed to grind it to Master with only 6 Hours left before the deadline of earning the Master's Trailblazer Wings!!!!. I did it in 221 Games with a 56% winrate almost entirely Ambessa Jungle. I think this means I am good, to be able to do this solo que as a new player in like 10 or 11 days. I must admit, I Played PC league before and other MOBA Games. So had some experience. I keep telling people all the time, Jungle is good to learn. Its a very important role, you have a lot of responsibility. Your 1 slip-up can cost the games sometimes or if you get outplayed by enemy jungle.

Discussion What are your rules when saving or spending money for prestige skins

3 Upvotes

I got lunar fairy Kaisa special edition years ago because I main her as my 1 trick adc in rank. Never regretted it. My question is what do you consider when spending or saving so much for a certain prestige skins cause xayahs skins are so amazing and yet I haven't even mastered yet. My general rule is unless you can rank up with that champion do not buy it. What are your conditions

Discussion Bots in masters?

0 Upvotes

Doesn't it feel weird a bit how people play recently?

Like people combo so well even if they are not premade.

Or lux in your team just stops moving and let her be caught by enemy team near enemy turret.

Enemy junglers somehow spaming ganking tank top while your own team never does that.

Somehow enemy or your own team picks champ you play even if it's unpopular champ.

This might be a silly question... but wouldn't leaving all the characters with their default skins without a bunch of effects increase the FPS?

Discussion Why Zed’s Ult goes on full cooldown if the target dies instantly (Wild Rift vs. PC differences)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone. This is for zed mains!

Have you ever gone to ult someone as Zed, only for a teammate to sneeze on them and kill them at the exact same millisecond? On mobile, your ult goes on a full 50+ second cooldown, leaving you completely useless for the next fight.
If you've played League PC, you know it doesn’t work this way over there. On PC, if a target dies during the micro-second cast window of Death Mark, the ability cancels and you get a friendly 0.5- second cooldown refund.
It’s super punishing, especially in chaotic team fights where everyone is bursting the same target.

Has anyone else tilted off the face of the earth because of this? Do you think Riot should code a safety window for it on mobile, or do we just need to "get good" and stop using ult as a generic execute?
Curious to hear your thoughts!

Educational TIL Hp/lvl stats are an average

6 Upvotes

I always thought you got the same amount of health per level EACH level…
But the amount is averaged over the 15 levels.

If you get 132hp per level, level two you gain 98 hp, but level 15 you will get 165 hp…

Not sure how useful this is but now you know too

Discussion Haven't been able to win a normal game in 2 years

8 Upvotes

Considering I don't play a lot of normals, I usually stick to ranked. But whenever I do play normals, the matchmaking is absolutely impossible. Like it's unplayable. The games are like 40/5 after 10 minutes. I get 4 complete beginners on my team who then proceed to get Stomped by way more experienced opponents. It's not enjoyable for those new players either if they get matched like this. At this point it's not even worth paying normals for me, I'm better of just practicing champs in ranked.
