Don't Feed Olaf -- In-Depth Champion Information (League of Legends)

Check out http://www.learntheleague.com for my complete 200+ page League of Legends book. Olaf is my personal favorite champion. I don't play him as much as I'd like, as I prefer to go into games and choose a champion that complements what other players have chosen, and this usually means a ranged carry or a tank. (Well, I don't play him as much now due to the DF series). He's an amazing troll champion because he takes virtually no risk of being trapped if his ultimate is available, and that's why I frequently have videos of stupid Olaf tricks on this channel. In my opinion, his primary weakness is that he is difficult to play effectively due to his Undertow. Missing or consistently overshoot targets will cost you kills, where other champions don't require as much. Also, while he is a relatively strong ganker and can be decent in the early game, he has a weak mid-game depending on his build and how much the other team cares about locking him down. He does have a strong lategame, though, when games get to that point. As far as DF, I've got a short list of requests. It hasn't been requested much but I'm interested in Nocturne, so I don't know where I'll squeeze him in. I'm going to perhaps do Lee Sin or Shaco next weekend since they look like they'll take longer to become proficient at than most champions. But for now, Tryndamere, Leblanc, and Jax are on my short list, as well as a few others, and we'll see what this week's free champion rotation brings. --------- Play League of Legends (it's free!): http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?re... --------- Help people learn about this series by sharing your thoughts on the official LoL forum thread: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/s... --------- Don't Feed is a video series that covers champions in greater detail than the Champion Spotlight. This series is descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning that I aim to provide you with solid information without telling you which items, runes, or masteries are best (as these frequently change). With this information, you can better play against these champions, and you may be interested in learning to play them. Even after nearly a thousand games, I am still learning new things about these champions by making these videos, and I'm sure the vast majority of LoL players can learn a lot from these. My goal is to provide these videos for all champions in League of Legends. --------- I've written a book! Want to learn tons about tanking and the math and theory behind it?
