How to Play with Ziggs as Olaf in LoL

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

When Olaf is an ally to Ziggs, he sees a little drop in his full damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Ziggs does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Ziggs on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ziggs.

Additionally, when Olaf plays with Ziggs on the same team, he typically takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Ziggs does a decent job of protecting Olaf during team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Ziggs?

There is no top champion pairing for Olaf that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, overall, Ziggs is a very typical companion for Olaf. By playing on the same side as Olaf, he raises their win rate by 0.6% to 49.6%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Olaf and Ziggs that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Ziggs has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means Olaf players must be very careful when arranging Ziggs allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.

When playing together, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by aligning Olaf and Ziggs together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates much support. Make sure to have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Ziggs ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
