Berserker Rage

Olaf gains Attack Speed and Life Steal based on his missing Health.

Coming from current LeagueThe ultimate is a 6-second unstoppable window with defensive stats rather than a 3-second offensive one, and it does not extend with hits; W also gives no attack-speed cushion against kiting, only lifesteal.
Remembering Olaf in 2013This is the pre-V3.12 Olaf: V3.12 (mid-Season-3) reduced Undertow's base damage, raised its slow, and changed its duration/decay, so anyone remembering 'late Season 3 Olaf' is remembering the wrong kit.
