Overall, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Olaf helps Lux perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Lux is paired with Olaf, she observes a little drop in her complete damage output. This may demonstrate that Olaf does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played alongside Olaf on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Olaf. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Olaf.
Additionally, when Lux plays with Olaf on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Olaf does a decent job of covering Lux in team fights.

Olaf has a lower difficulty than Lux. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Olaf teammates to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Fighting together, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champions can blast through enemies with magic damage.
In contrast, by aligning Lux and Olaf together, you will not be giving your team a great deal of protection for burst damage. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Olaf ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
