How to Play with Zeri as Olaf in LoL

The Olaf Zeri synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Zeri, 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 Zeri. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Zeri helps Olaf perform worse in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Olaf plays on the same team as Zeri, he gets a small decrease in his total damage dealt. This change may indicate that Zeri does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that their allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Zeri on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Zeri. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Zeri.

Additionally, when Olaf plays with Zeri on the same team, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Zeri does a decent job of protecting Olaf in teamfights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no one best synergy for Olaf that will no matter what be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Zeri is a terrible companion for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, they lowers their win rate by -6.1% to 42.9%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Olaf and Zeri that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Zeri has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you need to be cautious when arranging Zeri allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, Olaf players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by bringing Olaf and Zeri together, you will not be giving your other teammates very much magical damage output. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of your Zeri ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
