Olaf is a typical barbarian, whose arm is much more powerful than brain. His mechanics is based on brute force, so in most cases he will be rushing toward an enemy with a war cry on his tongue and axe in his hand, and then bashing his victim until the poor guy drops dead. Olaf's abilities are just as simple as his personality. One of them (Q) is a long ranged axe throw, which additionally slows down an enemy upon hitting. He can then strike his victim with two axes (E). Vicious Strike (W) regenerates Olaf's health with every hit. Finally, Ragnarok (R) activates Olaf's battle rage making him immune to crowd control abilities. The biggest true damage is dealt by Reckless Strike (E). Gold should be spent on items increasing survivability. You should find the perfect balance between extended health bar, different types of resistance, and damage.
Strategy:
Olaf is deadly in early game. Through Q->E combination he can deal massive damage which ignores enemy armour. If an opponent dares to approach too close, you can just bash him in the head (E) to teach him a lesson. When treated like that, the enemy will quickly run for cover.
