UndertowUndertowQActive: Olaf throws an axe to the target location that deals physical damage to enemies it passes through and slows them decaying over 2.5 seconds.

Rings are ranges in game units, both radars on one scale. Abilities wear their icon, the basic attack wears the champion’s own face; the dashed ring wearing the opponent’s face is their longest reach.
The item race
Olaf
300gArmor holds the attack itself. The 10 to 50 riding on it is magic, and so is every mushroom Teemo puts down.
800gThe poison keeps ticking 4 seconds after the trade ends, so the 10% life steal is bought early.
3300gLife steal supports recovery on the wave. Spirit Visage later increases that healing, not Hydra's attack damage.
2750gMagic resistance covers Teemo's poison. Lifeforce improves Vicious Strikes' healing benefits, not its attack damage.
3200gA situational magic shield against poison damage when Olaf falls below 30% health.
Teemo
400gMana back on every unit killed, 4 a time, on a champion who spends 70 to 110 a dart.
1485gEyes of Pain is 15 penetration into the magic resist Olaf buys, and 200 health is the rest of the buy.
2900gMana Burn doubles on a slowed target, and a mushroom slows 30% for 4 seconds at rank 1.
1100gBoots bought for the 15 penetration: the dart, the poison and the traps all read Olaf's 31.25 base magic resist.
2500gCooldown reduction on a blind that already returns in 8 seconds, and 50 attack speed for the poison.
