@@roharro2 by "you" fellow, i mean the average high elo. let me rephrase that. and since high elos will face also high elos, wouldn't that mean high elos would be competent to pull it off?
I’ve tested it, it isn’t like you can 1v1 every top laner since the start, but if you wait for the serrated and poke them down with Q, you can go in and easily finish them. Shieldbow is probably the biggest powerspike and after that, you’re just stronger and stronger. I’m plat 1 and I managed to get myself fed a lot of times, then you can easily carry for some free LP.
@@dedt4932 you forget that he has to smurf a ton of games to get this acounts up, which means a ton of games you just cant win bc your opponent isnt in a rank that matches their skill level
Till the last 20s of the video I was thinking how the heck is he gonna deal with tryndamere? Crit Olaf is basically trynda without death immunity . When u said he bans tryndamere, it all finally made sense
Kled is horrendously bad, isn’t strong early as a early game champ, the only top laner of his class with no armor shred built in(even tho he’s an auto attacker), doesn’t scale in the slightest, is the buggiest champ, only wins against aatrox, and all his items and even runes got nerfed. You could never pick Kled in high elo such as challenger and EVER casually “get 5 more Pentas today”. That’s why he doesn’t play him that’s why NOBODY plays him.
problem is, riot needed to kill him for...no reason lmao, like it was the patch yone and yas got buffs while sitting at 55% win rate, and they went like, ahh he counters them, and has 48% win rate and is played only by onetricks, lets kill the champ. i dunno. just sad
I was just shaking my head the whole time I was watching those clips. It was a montage of "I'm not playing the same LoL that you are playing" clips. Then there was the comment about teleporting to bot lane, running STRAIGHT at the enemy carry, taking the tower from your hapless bot laners, and laughing while you leave to probably do the same thing mid with your massive gold and level advantage. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Back when i first started playing league, I’d always play olaf top and me being in love with crit and attack speed, I’d always buy those items. But I was absolute garbage at the game so my teammates were not too friendly :(
Had the great misfortune of playing with this guy. He ran it down in a normal game because he wanted to finish faster so he could play ranked again after he was suspended. Fun stuff.
and this is why support teemo is even better in the new patch ran into 2 top olaf (tho only 1 of them was crit build) and the moment the laning phase ended they lost their lead cause blind spam and 2v1s
Ever since immortal shieldbow had reworked my playthrough in olaf is drastically changed. The lost of attack speed in immortal shield made olaf very slow in attacking. In my recent 10 games so far i played with CRIT Olaf i had 4 wins and 6 lost. I doubt this is still Best OFF Meta
me too now i max w for more attack speed sad but it's not that bad because when you think about it your e doesn't crit so you aa deal more damage than e (except against tank). But yeah crit olaf is now a lot weaker.
so many start to play olaf crit in my rank game, and it actually works. either they smurf or I dont know. in chat they talk about this vid from "happy chime noise" So I came to see it too, nice
As someone who plays Bot and Top as well as dabbling in the other roles I think Top has tons of impact. You will be many levels higher than everyone else and most of your items are cheaper and better than other roles. Basically as long as you win lane I think it is the easiest role to win with but if you lose lane it is almost impossible to win as now the enemy team has an unkillable raid boss 5 levels higher than everyone on your team. As ADC lane doesnt really matter and you dont matter and it is just coinflip to see if your team carries you as you cant do anything.
as soon as i saw this video i started playing olaf with this build and holy shit its so fun xDD im just absolutely enjoying it! thanks for the video and thanks for rank 1 olaf !
I can promise you, it is not easy to click that damn timer button in game. The timer doesnt start for me till I lock the screen on me and then try and click the timer.
I know how to counter the squishyness and lack of mobility. Buy swiftness boots and 1 tank item or maybe even 2. Preferably 1 armor 1 magic resist. Edit: In exchange for collector which with his insane dmg isnt much needed. U would build Edge of Night or an magic resist item. Less dmg, but easier to play.
@@drilla3938 For what. Your attack speed is insane and you do insane dmg. That 1 bonus auto attack isnt going to hurt you. If you die super fast, because they have a fed assassin, then its worth it.
@@Rivenium It is more about the tanks, as the 5% make a big difference between getting a well build mordekaiser (tank) as an example. Yes, if they are squishy maybe it is not necessary but many times in your games you will probably have some tanky hard engagers which will make you look like a clown in prolonged fights after they can start to cc you.
As a previous Top 25 Olaf player who has played him since season 1 for hundreds of games (maybe even thousands at this point R.I.P. twisted treeline), I am so proud of this. HappyChimeNoises really oversimplifies this character as Olaf can struggle quite a bit in a few different match ups that are difficult for even seasoned veterans to beat. For example, a really good teemo player can be an issue due to the fact that he can keep you from farming effectively and you essentially have to all in him every time you fight him. If he plays perfect and always gets out, you will be behind, but if he makes even one mistake you will dominate him. Another really really annoying matching up glacial augment heimerdinger, which I've only ever come across one person playing and it was painful. Nasus maxing w and rushing Frozen heart is another brutal match up where Nasus becomes a huge problem outscaling. Even match ups like with Garen, Sett, and Darius if you don't dodge some of their abilities or garen is smart enough to take his w first and just play passive, he can out tank you and become the bigger bruiser. I am talking about match ups at the Diamond level though as any plat laner and below is usually complete and utter garbage compared to masters and challenger top laners. Even low diamond players are pretty bad comparatively. Another thing is that axes can be tricky to throw. I use my q to dumb cast axes from time to time when I want to be more precise, but then use smart casting on my adfg keys in order to be quicker when I need them. It can take a long time to learn how much you can and cannot get away with as an Olaf player and that takes skill to gauge which fights to take as you said you are all in when you take fights. So although it sounds like Olaf is very easy to play, he has some mechanics to him that are not as dumb as just point click auto attack and win.
True. That's why I didnt know why I kept losing after learning everything in this video. I just couldnt. I always fed like crazy. You have to learn all the matchups by heart.
@@SDMNKhan If you go look up Foggedftw2s tryndamere match up guide, a lot of what he says in that guide pertains to Olaf and will give you an idea how you need to play each match up.
For some reason I found it funny that the only counter to Olaf, the guy that runs your down and autos you to death, is Trynd, the other guy that runs you down and autos you to death.
They're really bonkers back then with old black cleaver + crit build + flat ad runes or flat crit runes. Insert xz in your games for maximum game toxicity.
This is really in the spirit of Olaf - if you go in you need to run the fight through till the end. I also love the message he sent ‘I have 5 more Pentas for you’ lol
Just tried it for myself and I gotta say, it's as good as said in the video. One of first ever games as Olaf and first attempt at Crit Olaf resulted in a 20/4/6 total carry. Super fun and super strong.
Olaf is one of those I tend to do too well with despite only playing him occationally, tri/gore/stride-builds. I got stomped with him before the rework. Honestly he's (hidden?) OP now because there's nearly no counterplay as soon as he ults and sticks to you.
This video, as with all your videos, are a golden ray of hope. The very premise of this channel is gorgeous - off meta builds because this is a bloody game, not a fucking exam or someshit. Thank you for these entertaining jewels of videos, for your research, your calming voice and presence, and I hope you get 1 Million subscribers soon mate.
Fun fact: on Wild Rift(LOL mobile) we have an item called Solari chargeblade. It was recently reworked due to how broken it was but before its rework its passive gave you 25% crit everytime you cast an ability which resets when you do crit damage. It was intended for champs like lucian and xayah who were ability dependent but we ended up with champs like Shyv, riven, Olaf and yasuo getting 100% crit with 1 item. So imagine olafs brusier build but with the added benefit of nuking people with crit.
Welp there goes my theory. I actually considered this off-meta strat while playing around with Olaf in practice tool. He has a lot of the necessary tools to make it work but I just never bothered to try it. Glad to see it tested now though cus I know what I'm playing for a while. Also 3:05 seeing as assassin get bursted never gets old.
You know whats crazy? When olaf got a rework first thing i did was try a full crit build on him in practice stage to test it out, i thought it was great auto attack damage build, but all abilities were sooo high cd. So i dropped it... guess i should have kept trying it lol
How a CRIT OLAF got CHALLENGER Me: He played Olaf. The champ is stupid as hell. Hes not NO counterplay in his kit. WHATS NEW. New olaf is even more stupid. They took what little chance people had at beating him threw waiting out his W and R, and said. NOW LETS MAKE R PERMINATE AS LONG AS OLAF IS ATTACKING, meaning the one good counter to every top laner is cc, and lets make sure he cant be cced, and why stop there. Lets give him ARMOR REDUCTION, TRUE DAMAGE, HEALING, ATTACK SPEED, BONUS ATTACK SPEED, SHIELDS, BONUS TANK STATS, SLOWS, BONUS MS, PERMINATE CC IMMUNITY. Hes just a walking ball of stats, thrown into a champion that has 0 counterplay in his kit. GOOD JOB RIOT. YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN.
Always wondered how this playstyle would work out. I guess this man has refined it. Kinda funny that the old tactic to burst them before down before they can outplay you still works even in this durability patch but then I remember they also made bruisers even tougher so they can build more dmg. Go figure.
Can't believe I played against this guy in FLEX on EUNE server yesterday. Damn it was so tilting to lane with Shen against a Crit Olaf. But yes we managed to win due to stacking up.
when he says "if a player goes 0/20 in my game i will call him" was that a racial slur or just a bad word ? cause if its the first all respect was lost for this guy and he deserves 4 man touchpad laptop players in every game for all eternity
I think Crit Olaf still works. Just need a few item replacement. Stormrazor -> Ionian Boots/Berserker Greaves -> IE or Galeforce -> Immortal Shieldbow -> The Collector -> Lord Dominik's Regards. (Which either order is fine) Got 25/12/18 from my last game with it.
I’ve played Olaf like this for years. It is VERY powerful. I personally take ghost and ignite, and instead of red side, I use Confitioning and Revitalize.
@@drmajor2574 Most of the time. My favorite item on Olaf since season 3 has always been Ravenous Hydra. I used to rush old Tiamat into Hydra to start and max e into all matchups for big burst, but Olaf's E has had a damage nerf since than, and since watching this video when I commented, I'ved been rushing Dirk into Sheildbow. Into an enemy like say a Yorick, I'll get the dirk and Tiamat (to cleave if trapped in his circle) than do Shieldbow than finish Ravenous into Collector. Gotta say, Dirk>Sheildbow>Collector is still pretty OP. Where this video reccomends Death's Dance, I just love how Hydra feels on Olaf so I swap DD for Hydra. DD IS really good on Olaf tho. Also, as of the last few days I've been running red side secondary runes as outlined in this video. It makes a noticable difference in the mid to late game, and I'm sure the challenger who made the rune/build did this to compensate for how Olaf is SUPPOSED to fall off late game. I've been going Ulti Hunter+Eyeball OR AGAINT FAST ASS LANERS LIKE QUINN TOP than I'll go Blue side secondary going Magical Footwear+Approach Velocity and take Ghost+Flash. While the blue side secondary makes you the fastest Olaf around, that red side secondary snowball power is pretty insane.
As someone who has abused the shit out of reworked Olaf for free PDL, this crit build is surprisingly strong, and the fact that the runes aren't that different from the meta runes means that If I know I wont snowball I build the standard build, works even when I tried it out in SoloQ at low D3.
what would the build be like if u switched shieldbow for gale force (you would lose the heal and shield but gain move speed passive and gap closer with a bit extra burst)
Yes but actually no, it is worse. He needs the sustain and shield from shieldbow. I've tried it, he literally needs the early sustain or he wont survive any hard engage lane / lategame
Decided to try this build out after failing my promos for silver, i immediately started dominating and won my promos. Im 6-1 with Olaf so far. only lost against a Gnar. but my lord is this build strong!
Talking so much about players that just keep getting their accounts banned feels like they're just being enabled But I guess content's gotta come from somewhere
Of course I dont support what they do and have never had an account banned or even punished whatsoever of my own. I think it is just an interesting part of their story, especailly how they can hit a high rank so fast then get banned and then get right back there again with so little effort. + HE PLAYS OLAF WHO IS ALL ABOUT RAGE AND HE IS ALL ABOUT RAGE cmon its great I do think it is deserved because almost every ban is and I would prefer for riot to hardware ban toxic players forever
This was like season 1-2 strategy on olaf... you builded 2 Bloodthirsters and 2 phantoms and you were unstoppable :D good old days and yeah looks awsome this guy makes it work :D
same items but trynd, 2 phantom dancers, 2 bloodthirsters, 1 IE and of course last whisper, I 2.5 shot a full tank malphite back then. I think I never saw anyone that sells boots for 6 items back then
In case people are searching for the "new" build, Get a Longsword in easy matchups or Doransw in fight heavy lanes or Shield when ranged/poke First item Dirk so your damage go through armor. This is the point you should fight after breaking a freeze or dive eith your jungles. After that build Shieldbow for the added survivability and damage. Now you need to choose between high damage or cdr. IE if you can nuke people or Navori if you need to stay on tankier people Finish your Dirk into Collector Then its situational. If you're ahead, just go Bloodthirster and Guardian Angel. If there is lots of ad dps, go Deathdance and either GA or Sterak. Against AP, any MR adc/assassin item, just dont waste money on QSS, since the runes should make your ult come back faster

As someone who plays Bot and Top as well as dabbling in the other roles I think Top has tons of impact. You will be many levels higher than everyone else and most of your items are cheaper and better than other roles. Basically as long as you win lane I think it is the easiest role to win with but if you lose lane it is almost impossible to win as now the enemy team has an unkillable raid boss 5 levels higher than everyone on your team. As ADC lane doesnt really matter and you dont matter and it is just coinflip to see if your team carries you as you cant do anything.

Footage on screen: him running into a group of enemies and killing them all
Yuumi on his ass.
Never let them know your next move
Anyone can run into a group of enemies and kill all of them if they have a Yuumi attached
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Olaf : I AM THE GROUP OF ENEMIES
This is lore accurate Olaf. He wants to have a glorious death, but accidentally pentakills every time.
wants to get beat till death but ends up killing everyone when berserk
my bad
next patch:
olaf nerf
-30 base health
+10 health per level
So on lvl 5 it's a buff

he said in the video he is currently climbing back up to challenger due to constant banned accounts for flame, this was most likley still in low elo
Dude you need to organise some tournaments with these players. Would be hilarious

Dude gets more pentas in 1 day than Faker in his entire carreer
Just tried it for myself and I gotta say, it's as good as said in the video. One of first ever games as Olaf and first attempt at Crit Olaf resulted in a 20/4/6 total carry. Super fun and super strong.
I read this as "20/46" and I nearly choked LMAO
19/3/4 my man, really fun
Olaf is one of those I tend to do too well with despite only playing him occationally, tri/gore/stride-builds. I got stomped with him before the rework. Honestly he's (hidden?) OP now because there's nearly no counterplay as soon as he ults and sticks to you.
@@moldycarrot9267 x champ that can dash over a wall
15/6/3, 10k dmg over the second hard hiter of the game and 8.5k of gold over the other toplane on my first try. This build is just nasty!
“Kill enemies before they can react” so like all assassins basiclaly
its not morally okay to tell the world about this LOL
you buy the zeal to sell the zeal. This is some season 2 dark technology
so assassin olaf stomps tft and the rift now huh
underrated comment
This video, as with all your videos, are a golden ray of hope. The very premise of this channel is gorgeous - off meta builds because this is a bloody game, not a fucking exam or someshit. Thank you for these entertaining jewels of videos, for your research, your calming voice and presence, and I hope you get 1 Million subscribers soon mate.
In my 4th game of crit Olaf I got my first ever penta… thank you happychimenoises
A little sad you didn't call it the "Yi"
It's perfect---- he's unkillable, he kills you quickly, he gets regular pentakills and so on.
Yilaf? Olyif? ATBGE...
This looked cool at first, but "Psychopath play" sold it for me. Time for a new ranked top pick alongside my AP Nunu and tank Yasuo :)
Reported
Same hehe, for my Lee Sin and Pant Jungle and Sett Top.
Newbie Tank Cait is the way.
How bout Kled top now that’s PSYCHOTIC
@@uglyheadass1459 Make it full crit and we got a deal
Fun fact: on Wild Rift(LOL mobile) we have an item called Solari chargeblade. It was recently reworked due to how broken it was but before its rework its passive gave you 25% crit everytime you cast an ability which resets when you do crit damage. It was intended for champs like lucian and xayah who were ability dependent but we ended up with champs like Shyv, riven, Olaf and yasuo getting 100% crit with 1 item. So imagine olafs brusier build but with the added benefit of nuking people with crit.
wild rift can suck me.
Guys I talked to Rank1Olaf today, maybe he will come back this season. im hyped af
NO WAY !! :o
NEW OFF-META THAT IS NOT RANGED TOP LANER ?! A MIRACLE HAPPEND !! :O
I have like 50 off meta picks on this channel that aren't even top laners at all
This feels like playing Master Yi but with his ult replacing Yi’s Q.
R LAF
Or tryndamere with CC immunity replacing imortality
will crit olaf be changing with the new item changes? IE is moving to mythic and shieldbow is becoming a legendary
Yeah, should still be good though
played crit olaf since season 6 20+ accounts banned. ye this guy sounds normal in the head 😶
Welp there goes my theory. I actually considered this off-meta strat while playing around with Olaf in practice tool. He has a lot of the necessary tools to make it work but I just never bothered to try it. Glad to see it tested now though cus I know what I'm playing for a while.
Also 3:05 seeing as assassin get bursted never gets old.
You know whats crazy? When olaf got a rework first thing i did was try a full crit build on him in practice stage to test it out, i thought it was great auto attack damage build, but all abilities were sooo high cd. So i dropped it... guess i should have kept trying it lol
This guy also did it before the rework. He has done it for a long time :D
How a CRIT OLAF got CHALLENGER
Me: He played Olaf.
The champ is stupid as hell. Hes not NO counterplay in his kit. WHATS NEW. New olaf is even more stupid. They took what little chance people had at beating him threw waiting out his W and R, and said. NOW LETS MAKE R PERMINATE AS LONG AS OLAF IS ATTACKING, meaning the one good counter to every top laner is cc, and lets make sure he cant be cced, and why stop there.
Lets give him ARMOR REDUCTION, TRUE DAMAGE, HEALING, ATTACK SPEED, BONUS ATTACK SPEED, SHIELDS, BONUS TANK STATS, SLOWS, BONUS MS, PERMINATE CC IMMUNITY.
Hes just a walking ball of stats, thrown into a champion that has 0 counterplay in his kit. GOOD JOB RIOT. YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN.
My man is playing TFT olaf in soloq. Truly a gigachad.
Im sorrygood sir but u can’t use the words “crazy burst damage” and immortal “shieldbow” in the same sentence
Always wondered how this playstyle would work out. I guess this man has refined it. Kinda funny that the old tactic to burst them before down before they can outplay you still works even in this durability patch but then I remember they also made bruisers even tougher so they can build more dmg. Go figure.
Durability patch hit cooldown reliant champions harder, doesn't apply the same way if you just wack em
TLDW:
1st part of the vid:
-Try to get fed on olaf top earlygame
2nd part of the vid:
-here is why a fed olaf is strong
This is so disgusting to watch, he's like a Tryndamere who can't be CC'd with burst on top
Can't believe I played against this guy in FLEX on EUNE server yesterday. Damn it was so tilting to lane with Shen against a Crit Olaf. But yes we managed to win due to stacking up.
I hate this olaf player and this video cuz i really don't wanna see olaf nerfs. hes probably my favorite champ.
Porofessor Summoner spell tracking lol League's being more like World of Warcraft day by day
Crit Olaf is quite remind me to Catjug, former chinese proplayer who buy IE on many champion especially Olaf and Lee sin.
"So let's spread some chaos."
HapyChimeNoises = chaos-celot confirmed
Keep it coming!
when he says "if a player goes 0/20 in my game i will call him" was that a racial slur or just a bad word ? cause if its the first all respect was lost for this guy and he deserves 4 man touchpad laptop players in every game for all eternity
I think Crit Olaf still works. Just need a few item replacement.
Stormrazor -> Ionian Boots/Berserker Greaves -> IE or Galeforce -> Immortal Shieldbow -> The Collector -> Lord Dominik's Regards. (Which either order is fine)
Got 25/12/18 from my last game with it.
wow
I’ve played Olaf like this for years. It is VERY powerful. I personally take ghost and ignite, and instead of red side, I use Confitioning and Revitalize.
Do you still build immortal shieldbow first?
@@drmajor2574 Most of the time. My favorite item on Olaf since season 3 has always been Ravenous Hydra. I used to rush old Tiamat into Hydra to start and max e into all matchups for big burst, but Olaf's E has had a damage nerf since than, and since watching this video when I commented, I'ved been rushing Dirk into Sheildbow. Into an enemy like say a Yorick, I'll get the dirk and Tiamat (to cleave if trapped in his circle) than do Shieldbow than finish Ravenous into Collector.
Gotta say, Dirk>Sheildbow>Collector is still pretty OP. Where this video reccomends Death's Dance, I just love how Hydra feels on Olaf so I swap DD for Hydra. DD IS really good on Olaf tho.
Also, as of the last few days I've been running red side secondary runes as outlined in this video. It makes a noticable difference in the mid to late game, and I'm sure the challenger who made the rune/build did this to compensate for how Olaf is SUPPOSED to fall off late game. I've been going Ulti Hunter+Eyeball OR AGAINT FAST ASS LANERS LIKE QUINN TOP than I'll go Blue side secondary going Magical Footwear+Approach Velocity and take Ghost+Flash. While the blue side secondary makes you the fastest Olaf around, that red side secondary snowball power is pretty insane.
As someone who has abused the shit out of reworked Olaf for free PDL, this crit build is surprisingly strong, and the fact that the runes aren't that different from the meta runes means that If I know I wont snowball I build the standard build, works even when I tried it out in SoloQ at low D3.
what would the build be like if u switched shieldbow for gale force (you would lose the heal and shield but gain move speed passive and gap closer with a bit extra burst)
I was wondering this as well. Gale force then straight into botrk?
Yes but actually no, it is worse. He needs the sustain and shield from shieldbow. I've tried it, he literally needs the early sustain or he wont survive any hard engage lane / lategame
@@drilla3938 thats what I thought would be the issue as well, still probs fun if u get fed enough but probs would die way easier
@@jmamo3774 Yes, also Sett matchups are horrid. These dudes rule early game till mid game, there is when olaf shines with his 2-3 items xD
funny how the only hard counter is another crit viking who goes all in.
Decided to try this build out after failing my promos for silver, i immediately started dominating and won my promos. Im 6-1 with Olaf so far. only lost against a Gnar. but my lord is this build strong!
Against gnar You need mobility boots or stride breaker
Talking so much about players that just keep getting their accounts banned feels like they're just being enabled
But I guess content's gotta come from somewhere
Of course I dont support what they do and have never had an account banned or even punished whatsoever of my own.
I think it is just an interesting part of their story, especailly how they can hit a high rank so fast then get banned and then get right back there again with so little effort.
+ HE PLAYS OLAF WHO IS ALL ABOUT RAGE AND HE IS ALL ABOUT RAGE cmon its great
I do think it is deserved because almost every ban is and I would prefer for riot to hardware ban toxic players forever
This was like season 1-2 strategy on olaf... you builded 2 Bloodthirsters and 2 phantoms and you were unstoppable :D good old days and yeah looks awsome this guy makes it work :D
same items but trynd, 2 phantom dancers, 2 bloodthirsters, 1 IE and of course last whisper, I 2.5 shot a full tank malphite back then. I think I never saw anyone that sells boots for 6 items back then
In case people are searching for the "new" build,
Get a Longsword in easy matchups or Doransw in fight heavy lanes or Shield when ranged/poke
First item Dirk so your damage go through armor. This is the point you should fight after breaking a freeze or dive eith your jungles.
After that build Shieldbow for the added survivability and damage.
Now you need to choose between high damage or cdr. IE if you can nuke people or Navori if you need to stay on tankier people
Finish your Dirk into Collector
Then its situational. If you're ahead, just go Bloodthirster and Guardian Angel. If there is lots of ad dps, go Deathdance and either GA or Sterak. Against AP, any MR adc/assassin item, just dont waste money on QSS, since the runes should make your ult come back faster
I assume u mean navori not hail of blades but other than that, thanks!!
