Olaf
Saintvicious' Leaguepedia Page
This build guide for Olaf is for jungle and is by Saintvicious, a platinum rated player on League of Legends. Olaf Jungle is still viable, however he is more often played in top lane. Massive true damage and resilience makes him good for diving onto carries.Required Reading:

Item Build
Starting Items
Start machete plus 5 pots for a good speed clear as well as sustain.
Cloth Armor and 5 Health Potions is if you are going to be jungling more than ganking, because Cloth Armor and 5 Health Potions lets you jungle for a longer period of time without going back, but without boots its a bit more difficult to gank a lane. I usually only go Cloth Armor and 5 Health Potions if I am going to be jungling/counter jungling for most of the game with some ganks.
Core Items
Boots
If the enemy team is AD heavy then you want to go ninja tab
Boots depend on the enemy team. If the enemy team is really heavy on AP/CC then I would most likely get Mercury Treads, but if the enemy team is just heavy on Attack Damage, then I would probably get Ninja Tabis. If you can't decide whether the enemy team is heavier on Attack Damage or heavier on AP/CC, then you can go either, it would be up to you.
Endgame Items
GET THE TANKIES IT GOOD

Posted 12/31/2012 9:20:21 PMIt's because the guide was written by Saintvicious, but the video is by Malunoo. Just two different views on how Olaf should be built.

Posted 1/13/2013 3:23:51 PMYeah the difference between the builds ends up being damage from AD vs a damage from CDR.
So far I've preferred the CDR build by far, specially because when jungling Olaf (though I'm quite new with him) I mostly end up being the tank and at least like this you can still jump the carry and deal ze trrrue damage.

Posted 12/6/2012 7:13:21 AMWhy are you not using the utility tree? Why do you have a point in useless Legendary Armor, when even Perseverance is better? :(

Posted 12/21/2012 11:21:43 AMLegendary Armor is a one point wonder. Don't take my word for it, pros say so as well.
Watch the video though, I think the masteries that are in there are better. 8/13/9
