Olaf is a very old hero. Due to its mechanics, he has been out of the top lane for a long time. Most of the time he has appeared as a jungler. This time the designer seems to want Olaf to return to the top lane. Regarding Olaf’s mechanics, Olaf is a very old hero. Major changes have been made and some skill values have been weakened. Let's take a look at how top laner Olaf plays now.
Olaf currently has three changes compared to his previous skills. First, the base value of the Q skill is slightly lowered, but the range is increased, and it also comes with an armor-piercing effect. Then there is the W skill that resets the basic attack and provides a shield based on the lost health. The last is the change of the ultimate move, the duration is halved but the duration can be refreshed through basic attacks and E skills.
The modified Olaf is obviously stronger than before. First of all, the armor-breaking effect of Q skill can reach 35% at full level, and it is a group armor-breaking effect. Teammates can also enjoy the benefits, which is a big improvement for team battles. In the middle and late stages of the battle, the profit is also higher, so you can directly give up the black cut and use it for other equipment. Then there is the reset of the W skill's basic attack and shield, which can cause errors in the opponent's damage calculation. It is difficult to calculate the damage of killing Olaf. This is very important in the early laning battle. The last is the change to the ultimate move, which makes Olaf's continuous combat effectiveness stronger. He can use the opponent's front row to continue the ultimate move infinitely, and can ignore all control effects in team battles.
The most important thing for Olaf in team battles is to know how to avoid damage, because Olaf himself is not actually very frank. The only thing he can rely on is the control-free effect of his ultimate move. Therefore, during team battles, you can choose to absorb damage, but you must also pull the opponent. Output, try to ensure your own survival, even if you die in battle, you must at least ensure that you replace one of the opponent's key positions.
Olaf's mythical equipment chooses the power of three phases. This equipment has a stronger carry ability than the blood-thirsty battle axe, because the current blood-thirsty battle ax is mainly used to recover when the remaining blood is left, and it is slightly more fault-tolerant than the three-phase power in team battles. , but the power of the three phases can allow Olaf to increase the damage more and have a stronger pursuit ability. The combat power after completing the three phases will be stronger than the blood-thirsty battle axe. At present, the winning rate of the three-phase power is much higher than that of the Bloodthirsty Battle Ax. For the second piece of equipment, choose Dance of Death directly. This equipment is still the best choice for warriors. At the same time, because Olaf's own attack growth is increased, Bloody Hand's shield benefits from the attack power, so it is also very suitable for Olaf. The shoes must be armored shoes, because Olaf has a big move that does not require toughness. Then you can supplement tankiness, anti-armor, Langton, and force of nature are all very good choices. Just choose defensive equipment based on the opponent's output.
The best choice for Olaf's rune is Conqueror, because Olaf himself is a continuous combat hero, and the endurance and adaptability provided by Conqueror are very suitable for Olaf. Triumph, joy and perseverance are highlighted below, all to increase Olaf’s combat effectiveness.
Olaf adds points to his main Q and secondary E. For Olaf, the release of his Q skill is very important. This is Olaf's most important skill in early laning. The E skill deals real damage, and the W skill in the early stage is mainly used to reset the basic attack and damage. Just a little shield during blood time.
After the redesign, Olaf's mechanism has been comprehensively improved. At the same time, the mechanism of unlimited continuation of ultimate moves allows him to be in a no-man's land when facing the control lineup. He is a very strong top laner.
