This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Irelia.

Working alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by aligning Olaf and Irelia together, you may not be giving your other teammates much utility. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Irelia ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
