CHAMPION CHANGES

OLAF Image

OLAF

Olaf in his previous state was struggling to keep up with other champions, and his playstyle didn’t reflect a berserker brawling to the death. Our goal with this mini rework is to increase Olaf’s ability to stay in the fight longer and become stronger and stronger through the duration of the fight.
