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

This could demonstrate that Darius doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Darius on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Darius.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Darius on the same side, he on average receives significantly more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Darius does a poor job of covering Olaf during teamfights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Darius?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Olaf that will always be his top synergy. Yet, overall, Darius is a very bad ally for Olaf. By being on the same side as Olaf, he drops their win rate by -5.9% to 43.1%. This proves that there is a terrible synergy between Olaf and Darius that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Darius has a lower difficulty than Olaf. That means Olaf players don't need to be cautious when lining up Darius comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.
Working alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by grouping Olaf and Darius together, you may not be giving your team enough magical damage output. We recommend you have other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Darius ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
