How to Play with Pyke as Olaf in LoL
The Olaf Pyke synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Pyke, 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 Pyke. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Pyke helps Olaf perform worse in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Olaf is an ally to Pyke, he observes a little drop in his full damage output. This change may signal that Pyke does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Pyke on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Pyke.
Moreover, when Olaf plays with Pyke on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Pyke does a decent job of covering Olaf during team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Pyke?
There is no perfect ally for Olaf that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Pyke is a relatively poor teammate for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, he drops their win rate by -3.0% to 46.0%. This signals that there is a harmful synergy between Olaf and Pyke that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Pyke has a much greater difficulty compared to Olaf. That means Olaf players need to be careful when arranging Pyke allies to play with, as they will need a much greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Working alongside, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by grouping Olaf and Pyke together, you may not be giving your side a great deal of magical damage output. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Pyke ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
