This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Gragas.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Gragas?

There is no perfect companion for Olaf that will always be his ideal teammate. However, Gragas is a not very good ally for Olaf. By locking into the same side as Olaf, he decreases their win rate by -2.4% to 46.6%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Olaf and Gragas that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Gragas has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you must be careful when enlisting Gragas comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by grouping Olaf and Gragas together, you may not be granting your other teammates a lot of magic damage. Plan to bring other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Gragas ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
