Overall, Olaf sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nami. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This difference may signal that Nami supports by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Nami on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Nami.
Moreover, when Olaf plays with Nami on the same team, he often receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Nami does a poor job of covering Olaf in teamfights.

Nami has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you need to be very careful when arranging Nami teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to fight well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Olaf players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by grouping Olaf and Nami together, you probably will not be granting your side much engage potential. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Nami teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
