How to Play with Vex as Olaf in LoL

The Olaf Vex synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Vex, 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 large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Vex. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Vex helps Olaf perform worse in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Olaf tries to synergize with Vex, he sees a little increase in his total damage dealt. This difference could demonstrate that Vex helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that their allyship also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Vex on the same team, 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 Vex.

Moreover, when Olaf plays with Vex on the same side, he often takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Vex does a poor job of covering Olaf during team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Vex?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his top ally. Yet, Vex is a very typical companion for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, they drops their win rate by -1.0% to 48.0%. This shows that there is only a small bond between Olaf and Vex that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Olaf. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Vex comrades to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing together, Olaf players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Olaf and Vex together, you probably will not be granting your side enough magical damage output. Plan to bring other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Vex teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
