How to Play with Olaf as Illaoi in LoL

The Illaoi Olaf synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Olaf, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Illaoi sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Olaf helps Illaoi perform not as well in ranked LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Illaoi tries to synergize with Olaf, she sees a small decrease in her total damage output. This difference could signal that Olaf does not help cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Illaoi is played together with Olaf on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Olaf. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Olaf.

Additionally, when Illaoi plays with Olaf on the same side, she typically takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Olaf does a decent job of protecting Illaoi during teamfights.

Is Illaoi better when played alongside Olaf?

There is no top ally for Illaoi that will no matter what be her best ally. However, Olaf is a very bad teammate for Illaoi. By locking into the same side as Illaoi, he drops their win rate by -6.1% to 43.5%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible bond between Illaoi and Olaf that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Olaf has a lower difficulty than Illaoi. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Olaf teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working alongside, Illaoi players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by grouping Illaoi and Olaf together, you will not be providing your side enough support. Plan to have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Olaf teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
