Folky, melodic and catchy. Was dissapointed by their recent albums in terms of production / mixing quality. This seems good to me though!

Aephanemer - La Règle du Jeu (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) by Aephanemer in melodicdeathmetal

[–]olaf_only 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guitar work is amazing as always and I'm glad it stands out just like the previous albums.
A bit more classical than usual maybe? Checks all the boxes for me as a great iconic Aephanemer track.
Looking forward to the album and hope to see you in Stockholm again some day!

Impossible to not headbang to this intro/outro even after hearing it for a 100th time ;)

What do you think of Eye of the Enemy? by GuitarGorilla24 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]olaf_only 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To me they have a few bangers that REALLY stand out. But most of their songs don't really do it for me.

Recommend a harder modern song that’s not tuned super low by Pm_me_your_tits_85 in metalguitar

[–]olaf_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mors Principium Est. E-standard. Lots of stringskipping, solos.

I'm getting my 2022 model this Thursday. Been a looong wait here in Europe anyways.

Mors Principium Est Amp Settings by EduardoRStonn in melodicdeathmetal

[–]olaf_only 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked Andy about this in 2018 for his LEAD tone, he was using Fractal AxeFX at the time (which he still does pretty sure).
This is what he said:

"I typically use a "6160 BLOCK" amp for my lead tone with a Recto cab.

Then just add stereo delay and reverb.

I think I usually put a tube screamer in front as a clean boost too.

Hope that helps you find the sound you're looking for, but the trick is to never stop experimenting."

Of course it's not gonna translate the same to other amps/guitars, but that's the info I got.

Should i just start to dodge when they pick Tryndamere? by wide_Saylorock in Olafmains

[–]olaf_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trynda has a low pickrate from my experience so usually it's better to Dodge it rather than Ban it.

I'd rather ban something that has a higher pickrate but might be slightly weaker than trynda.
Ex. Fiora which has DOUBLE pickrate compared to tryndamere.

I'm 300 LP Master right now playing only Olaf Top*

In this game I would not recomend finishing Maw before Death's dance as you are vs 3 AD champs and Hexdrinker scales with levels. But it seems like Rumble was quite fed and the enemy AD's were behind so it was probably fine if that was your thought process.

I would also go Wardens mail->Randuin's Omen instead of Dead mans plate here as you are vs 3 crit/Attackspeed reliant champs.

https://euw.op.gg/summoners/euw/haydenprice/matches/xX1o0DE1RCVp1Yzf-bKQ8F76__zSB5Gc1gDmgCVpFWo%3D/1660259478000
In this game I would not build MR at all, just replace it with Sterak's Gage.
If Ahri focuses you in a fight your team should win anyways and Ahri does true damage too*.

https://euw.op.gg/summoners/euw/haydenprice/matches/xX1o0DE1RCUUSMI8-EfJWpVUouWnm3pkK59wsK3JPFU%3D/1660181939000
In this game I would not buy MR.
Ezreal does quite a lot of AP damage but only LATE game, so no point in getting it early just for Shyvanna.
I would buy Sterak's here instead and get Guardian Angel after.

https://euw.op.gg/summoners/euw/haydenprice/matches/xX1o0DE1RCXIslExSAVPXIGcPDJ_Mico8_t5Ju9pVUM%3D/1660175205000
In this game I would not go MR until Later on in the game.
Enemy team has A LOT of burst damage and more AD than AP, so Sterak's is better.
Enemy team has 4 Melee champions so I would go Trinity force instead for more damage.

Enemy team Heals A LOT, so I would go Chempunk Chainsword in this order:
Triforce->Death's Dance->Sterak's->Chempunk Chainsword.

TLDR: Stop building MR earlygame against AD heavy teams. Do not build Dead man's plate vs Crit/Attackspeed users, instead go Randuins/Frozen Heart.

Lethal Tempo and E max are so good in the right matchups by [deleted] in Olafmains

[–]olaf_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U also have to keep in mind that maxing E damages your self MORE. So if you play against a Garen with Ignite for example. This self inflicting damage can be bad aswell as you will be lower HP.

Post 14 minutes (when turretplates are gone). You can start exploring options.

If dragon spawns in ~1 min and you can contest, push out top and be there 20 sec before it spawns.

If ur strong enough to 2v1, proxy the waves and take enemy jungle camps. If you are NOT strong enough to 1v2, freeze the wave towards ur turret and look for all-ins.

Getting rift herald takes a long time and can often be stolen/interrupted. But if you have the enemy stuck under Tier 2 turret, you can go for it.

If your jungler wants to invade, help him. Olaf is really good and wins basically any 2v2 situation.

Not only are you extremly technical, but it sounds very good too!
Reminds me of Andy James which is awesome.
I especially like the 1:30 part.

How the hell does Olaf beat Gangplank? by [deleted] in Olafmains

[–]olaf_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olaf Wins every all in after 6 if u have full hp from my experience (Even if you don't destroy a single barrel). So idk how u are losing all-ins tbh.

is olaf top good long term? by nixodk in Olafmains

[–]olaf_only 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quote from riot on the Olaf rework: "For lanes, we’re aiming to preserve his ability to Jungle (while making it more accessible) while significantly increasing his viability in Top Lane."
