Situational

Olaf Build Guide (Jungle)
Jungle Olaf clears fast, dives with no respect for crowd control, and turns every gank into a two-slot commitment for the enemy team. His early skirmishing is among the best in the jungle.
Summoner Spells
Runes
- 9x Mark of Attack Damage (+1 Attack Damage)
- 9x Seal of Armor (+1 Armor)
- 9x Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist (+0.2 Magic Resist per level (+3.6 at champion level 18))
- 3x Quintessence of Attack Damage (+2.25 Attack Damage)
Attack damage speeds the axe-led clear, armor and scaling magic resist keep dives survivable.
