 Pick A Card

 Destiny
to join your gank and he has point-and-click cc which is so valuable in this game that nearly every skill is a skillshot. |
Early Game
In early game, you always, ALWAYS take blue buff first, because you need the mana, and mana issue is the problem early on. before reading this, are you read my jungle guide before right? if you did, then you know Olaf need level 5.
Early game is where everyone is afraid regarding Olaf's aggressiveness and healing capability, because there's no Grievous Wound items yet. so use this time to make your move into ganking some lane, that you're think that will helping your team into victory. after ganking lane, you can try to counter-jungle your opponent. so there is a jung gap early on.
Regarding taking objectives, Olaf is fast to take the objectives thanks to
Vicious Strikes
and
Reckless Swing
. he can do it on his own, however you still need help for taking drakes because everyone want that buff and no one wants to give it for their opponent.
Mid Game
This is where Olaf can break, or make the game.
Olaf can sweep the entire team on his own or become a liability for his team. start being aggressive for skirmishes. Olaf can destroy the frontline like
Braum
or
Alistar
(except
Blitzcrank
because he will punish you with his
Rocket Grab
if you outside of your optimal position.) because his
Reckless Swing
plus healing capability from
Vicious Strikes
and let your ADC sweep the floor with his/her damage. make sure you are dealing A TONS OF DAMAGE before you die.
However, this is where Grievous Wound items come around, so be aware of it. and also a lot of adc already has the core items he/she need, so ganking in this phase will be little hard, but you still can crush them.
Late game
Olaf in this scenario will be little bit useless, everyone already completed their item build and you can't burst anyone here. however, you still be reliant for your team, be the tank and initiator that your team need, sacrifice your KDA for your victory.
Olaf can backdoor too due to
Berserker Rage
. so aware of it.
TL;DR and closing
Olaf is aggressive jungler who loves to be "in-your-face" champion and deals A TONS OF DAMAGE. he can tank, he can be damage dealer, he can be initiator too. so, if you want to be manly, pick Olaf and start dealing A TONS OF DAMAGE.
