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

Working alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Conversely, by aligning Olaf and Lux together, you probably will not be giving your team much engage potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this disparity in their playstyle.
Regardless of the skill of your Lux teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
