Olaf is primarily played as a diver/fighter/tank, leveraging their melee combat style to dominate in the toplane. Since their release in Patch 1.0.0.87, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Olaf's potential.

Olaf's Story

An unstoppable force of destruction, the axe-wielding Olaf wants nothing but to die in glorious combat. Hailing from the brutal Freljordian peninsula of Lokfar, he once received a prophecy foretelling his peaceful passing—a coward's fate, and a great insult among his people. Seeking death, and fueled by rage, he rampaged across the land, slaughtering scores of great warriors and legendary beasts in search of any opponent who could stop him. Now a brutal enforcer for the Winter's Claw, he seeks his end in the great wars to come.
