How to Play with Kog'Maw as Olaf in LoL
The Olaf Kog'Maw synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Kog'Maw, 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 very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Kog'Maw. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Kog'Maw helps Olaf perform poorer in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Olaf is an ally to Kog'Maw, he observes a marginal improvement in his full damage output. This change may signal that Kog'Maw provides protection for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Kog'Maw on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Kog'Maw.
Moreover, when Olaf plays with Kog'Maw on the same team, he on average receives more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Kog'Maw does a poor job of covering Olaf in team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Kog'Maw?
There is no ideal synergy for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his best ally. Yet, Kog'Maw is a very typical teammate for Olaf. By being on the same side as Olaf, he lowers their win rate by -0.4% to 48.6%. This proves that there is only a small bond between Olaf and Kog'Maw that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Kog'Maw has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means Olaf players must be very careful when finding Kog'Maw allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Fighting on the same side, Olaf players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
In contrast, by bringing Olaf and Kog'Maw together, you probably will not be providing your team enough crowd control. Plan to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.
Regardless of your Kog'Maw ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
