I know the principals, it's more about execution and getting into good habits then anything else. Which generally involves consistent play with good players who critique your mistakes (ex how I just learned to deal with bot lux, the hard way).
Play with me sometime.

Probably the best habit you can get into is constant communication.

Ok I lied; even though I played one game, Dphat had already taught me something I didnt even think about which was keeping track of buffs, dragon, and baron spawn time. I started doing it when I played again.

Pretty sure we said Cleanse was OP the moment we saw it removes Ignite and Exhaust.

It's practically a combination QSS and Superior Merc's.

Just run Cleanse on everybody, especially if they have a blink/jump. No one can stop you from doing damage or surviving unless they straight up burst you down.

Screw Irelia, Olaf doesn't need to dump gold into a QSS ;)
And he's harder to burst down than Irelia, and can put a lot more of his build into pure tank without sacrificing damage.

The only time I feel like I can be stopped in a fight as Olaf is when I Cleanse the first Exhaust and they have a second exhaust put on me right after :3

Well the reason they all took cleanse was because of the opposing team comp. Arrow, Mummy Ult and Galio Ult.

The team with cleanse ended up winning simple because they caught wickd's team off-guard a few times.

I can't Flash at all anymore... Like every game I have at least one fail Flash because I'm not used to the range at ALL.

I may be crazy (totally possible) but it seems like Tiamat is an amazing item purely for its gold value.

You can get two of its components at the very start, giving yourself an approximation of Philo Stone so you have early extra sustain. Then the total cost of it is a measley 2000 something, which is 50 damage for only 400 more than a BF sword (with the benefit of having all that extra health/mana regen, and the bonus of building into it steadily rather than having to save and spend all at once). The best part is at any point if you decide, "hmm I don't LIKE ****** my lane and pushing super hard" before you buy it you can switch the build up and turn those items into other stuff pretty easily.

It also gives you the power of pushing super fast so when you inevitably shut out your opponent you can dump all your creeps on his tower nigh instantly. I love Tiamat.

Fizz would be a lot less annoying if he took more damage and couldn't just build tanky bull****.

Wits End is so super good on him. Ugh.

Only time I like Tiamat is on Twitch because it scales incredibly well with his Ult. If you crit with his Ult + Tiamat, jesus christ it will hurt if people are around. Galio ult to Twitch IE Tiamat is super nasty.
