Overall, Olaf sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Amumu. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This change could indicate that Amumu helps provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Amumu.
Moreover, when Olaf plays with Amumu on the same side, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Amumu does a decent job of covering Olaf in team fights.
