How to Play with Olaf as Poppy in LoL

The Poppy Olaf synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Olaf, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Poppy sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Olaf helps Poppy perform poorer in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Poppy tries to synergize with Olaf, she sees a little decrease in her full damage output. This could indicate that Olaf does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played alongside Olaf on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Olaf. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Olaf.

Moreover, when Poppy plays with Olaf on the same side, she on average takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Olaf does a poor job of protecting Poppy during team fights.

Is Poppy better when played alongside Olaf?

There is no one best companion for Poppy that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. However, Olaf is a great companion for Poppy. By locking into the same team as Poppy, he increases their win rate by 7.6% to 57.3%. This demonstrates that there is a strong bond between Poppy and Olaf that results in them performing at the top of their game together than alone.

Olaf has a much lower diffuclty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Olaf allies to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working on the same side, Poppy players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Poppy and Olaf together, you may not be giving your team very much AP. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Olaf ally, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
