How to Play with Gwen as Olaf in LoL
The Olaf Gwen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Gwen, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Olaf sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Gwen helps Olaf perform not as well in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.
When Olaf is paired with Gwen, he observes a little drop in his full damage output. This may demonstrate that Gwen does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Gwen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Gwen. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Gwen.
Moreover, when Olaf plays with Gwen on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Gwen does a poor job of covering Olaf in team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Gwen?
There is no top ally for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. However, Gwen is a very bad teammate for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, she decreases their win rate by -4.6% to 44.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad bond between Olaf and Gwen that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Gwen has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you must be cautious when enlisting Gwen teammates to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by aligning Olaf and Gwen together, you probably will not be providing your other allies very much utility. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this disparity in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Gwen ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
