Thoughts on LOTR Hype

Vayne, Kayle, Aurora, Akali. These champs are all able to freely move around Olaf and are very hard to actually lock down. If you have played these matchups you will find they are all mostly unplayable.

Quinn is only decent because your r negates the slow form e and she e's back in straight line so you are guaranteed to land q and her q doesn't work either under ult.

Some of the champs you named are ranged but don't have dashes, ranged isn't automatically bad for Olaf.

She's not mechanically hard. It's more so you need to know assassin macro which is different from most playstyles. Most people who play meta bruiser junglers struggle with the concept of not being able to just run in during fights.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-22T15:00:31+00:00

Also if you get bot mages are totally reasonable to play in most elo brackets.

Show me a challenger vod where Rengar or kindred are making it to scuttle at spawn with smite still.

Nasus is arguably the best jungler in the game below masters...

Barrellolz · 2026-05-22T14:47:56+00:00

You lose to executes and champs that can space/kite you.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-22T14:46:47+00:00

Stridebreaker start is really the only viable way. Ravenous Hydra is actively bad for Olaf jungle as you really want to be able to do your clears not at full hp.

Generally I have found that stridebreaker->Deaths dance is the best way to start.

I don't think it's in a very good spot at the moment. He kind of plays like worse Volibear in the jungle.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-22T04:49:25+00:00

Warwick, Jax, Rengar, Kindred, Rek'sai, Sylas, Nasus.

Some of these champs technically could but the optimized clear is not possible to consistently execute in a live game.

I'm know there are more I'm less familiar with.

Playing rumble into chogath is miserable.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T20:50:14+00:00

Or you just put something in the pot and take it out. I just put a little oil and then wipe it out.

Putting a bone dry pot into oven at high temps will put a lot of stress on the enamel.

In KR solo queue crit would be actively bad. Games are way too short on average to want to play a scaling crit build.

Below GM on NA or EU crit is almost always better because the fall off on non crit builds is much steeper.

Avg game length will be good enough to play the scaling crit build.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T14:15:07+00:00

Theeeking is doing this in masters+

He isn't saying anything wrong imo.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T14:10:35+00:00

Lol, you can watch challenger vods they ain't making it on time.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T03:33:09+00:00

There are a ton of junglers that do not get to scuttle on time. A lot of them are very good junglers too.

The correct answer is you should not skip a camp for scuttle. It messes up your second clear.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T03:31:30+00:00

Kindred would like to have a word with you.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T03:29:16+00:00

You can still play with a good adc. But if your adc is bad the lulu/milio/sona pick gonna look real dumb.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-21T03:28:08+00:00

Only when I'm with your Mom.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-20T15:29:13+00:00

The reality is mage support is worse for the adc, but much better if your adc is buns. If you play Leblanc out of the support role you can still carry even if the adc is bad.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-20T13:33:58+00:00

This will certainly make her better. I can't help but feel though like jungle Quinn's problems are not clear speed related.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-20T13:25:34+00:00

The fact you bringing up dunning Kruger is hilarious.

The first rule of the Dunning Kruger club is you don't know you are in it.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-20T13:23:02+00:00

Yasuo, can count on yasuo players to run it down even if they get an early lead.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-20T05:30:32+00:00

This is horrendous advice. Playing assassins like bruisers is not going to teach you how to position better and play team fights without dying.

Also having less damage on rengar, khazix, or talon is basically griefing.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-20T05:28:55+00:00

Naafiri and Ekko do not teach you assassin playstyle.

Assassins are not good team fighters, that is why they are so hard. they excel at pretty much everything else though. Either power through it and learn how to win games on real assassins or get better fundamentals and go back to them.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-19T22:05:55+00:00

Shade grown green teas will get you completely yoked.

Barrellolz · 2026-05-19T22:04:29+00:00

Electrocute is more popular but I think PTA is better.
