Olaf

Olaf, the Berserker of Lokfar, has one wish: to fall in battle in a way that someone will sing about. Everything else about him follows from that. A prophecy once foretold that he would die peacefully in his sleep, and he received it as an insult rather than a blessing. He stopped looking for calm altogether and set out to meet death on his own terms. His rage now flows outward, and he has cut down champions and monsters across the Freljord, hoping one of those clashes would be final.

None of them were. Olaf now serves the Winter’s Claw as a ruthless enforcer, a militant faction whose appetite for war matches his own restless temperament. His reasons for fighting have not changed. He is not after conquest or glory for its own sake. He simply hopes that the next war to break out in the Freljord, a bitter, frozen country of feuding tribes and ice magic where older powers still stir under the snow, will be the one that finally takes his life.

Olaf is most often played as a fighter and tank in the top lane, spending mana on a kit designed to welcome damage instead of dodging it. His passive, Berserker Rage, boosts Attack Speed and Life Steal according to how much health he has lost, so the nearer he gets to death, the harder he strikes and the more he heals. Undertow hurls an axe along the ground that damages everything in its path and reduces their Armor and Move Speed, and Olaf can go pick the axe back up afterward. Tough It Out increases his Attack Speed and grants him a Shield, giving him the moment he needs to close distance. Reckless Swing deals true damage to Olaf and his target, and if the strike kills the enemy, it returns the health it cost him. His ultimate, Ragnarok, passively raises his Armor and Magic Resist. When activated, it makes him immune to disables for as long as he keeps attacking, letting him keep advancing through crowd control that would halt any other champion. Each of his abilities serves the same goal he has pursued since Lokfar. Whether he ever reaches it matters little to Olaf, because the fighting is the only peace he has left.
