Butcher Olaf is a fearsome skin for the mighty Viking warrior, Olaf, in the popular online game League of Legends. This skin transforms Olaf into a menacing butcher, ready to cleave through his enemies with his massive axe. Released on November 29, 2010, Butcher Olaf quickly became a favorite among players who wanted to showcase Olaf's brutal and savage side.
Butcher Olaf's appearance is truly terrifying. Olaf dons a blood-stained apron, complete with various tools of the trade hanging from his belt. His armor is adorned with spikes, giving him an even more menacing look. His axe, the weapon of choice for any butcher, is massive and intimidating, with a jagged blade that strikes fear into the hearts of his foes.
Butcher Olaf's abilities also receive a thematic makeover. His Q ability, Undertow, now features a meat cleaver instead of a regular axe, adding to the butcher theme. His W ability, Vicious Strikes, showcases a blood splatter effect when activated, emphasizing the brutality of his attacks. Olaf's ultimate ability, Ragnarok, is accompanied by a thunderous sound effect, further enhancing the intensity of his transformation into an unstoppable force.
Now, let's delve into the story of Olaf and his place in the League of Legends universe. Olaf, known as the Berserker, hails from the icy Freljord region. He is a warrior who seeks glorious death in battle, believing that only in death can one truly prove their worth. Olaf's past is shrouded in mystery, but it is said that he has faced countless foes and emerged victorious from each encounter.
In the game, Olaf is a melee champion who excels in close-quarters combat. His kit revolves around his ability to sustain damage and deal devastating blows to his enemies. Olaf's passive ability, Berserker Rage, grants him bonus attack speed based on his missing health, making him even deadlier as he takes damage. His Q ability, Undertow, allows him to throw his axe, damaging and slowing enemies in its path. Olaf's W ability, Vicious Strikes, grants him lifesteal and bonus attack damage, making him incredibly difficult to take down in a fight. His E ability, Reckless Swing, deals true damage to his target at the cost of his own health, allowing him to quickly dispatch high-health enemies. Finally, Olaf's ultimate ability, Ragnarok, grants him immunity to crowd control effects, making him unstoppable and allowing him to charge into the heart of battle without fear.
Olaf's playstyle revolves around his ability to dive into the enemy team, soaking up damage while dealing significant damage in return. His sustain and tankiness make him a formidable force in team fights, and his ability to ignore crowd control effects with Ragnarok allows him to disrupt the enemy backline and eliminate priority targets.

Lore:
An unstoppable force of destruction, the axe-wielding Olaf wants nothing but to die in glorious combat. Hailing from the brutal Freljordian peninsula of Lokfar, he once received a prophecy foretelling his peaceful passing—a coward's fate, and a great insult among his people. Seeking death, and fueled by rage, he rampaged across the land, slaughtering scores of great warriors and legendary beasts in search of any opponent who could stop him. Now a brutal enforcer for the Winter's Claw, he seeks his end in the great wars to come.
Ally tips:
Olaf can combine Berserker Rage, Vicious Strikes, and Ragnarok at low life to become deceptively strong. The bonus healing granted by Vicious Strikes amplifies your Life Steal from all sources as well as heals from allies.
Enemy tips:
Olaf becomes more dangerous the lower life he is. Save your disables to finish him off.Preventing Olaf from reaching his axe will minimize the amount of harassment he can cause in the laning phase.Olaf has reduced defenses from damage during Ragnarok, despite being immune to disables. If you can't escape from Olaf during Ragnarok, try focusing your damage on him with your teammates.
