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

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

Is Olaf better when played alongside Vladimir?

There is no ideal companion for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his #1 ally. However, overall, Vladimir is a very typical teammate for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, he lowers their win rate by -0.3% to 48.7%. This demonstrates that there is only a small bond between Olaf and Vladimir that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Vladimir has a much greater difficulty compared to Olaf. That means you should be cautious when enlisting Vladimir allies to fight alongside, as they will need a much higher level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting together, Olaf players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Olaf and Vladimir together, you probably will not be providing your side a lot of support. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Vladimir ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
