Overall, Talon sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Olaf helps Talon perform not as well in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Talon tries to synergize with Olaf, he observes a little drop in his full damage output. This difference may indicate that Olaf does not provide cover for him to deal more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Talon is played alongside Olaf 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 synergisticly with Olaf.
Additionally, when Talon plays with Olaf on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Olaf does a decent job of covering Talon during team fights.

Is Talon better when played alongside Olaf?
There is no one best ally for Talon that will no matter what be his top synergy. However, overall, Olaf is a relatively poor companion for Talon. By being on the same side as Talon, he drops their win rate by -2.0% to 47.0%. This shows that there is a bad bond between Talon and Olaf that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Olaf has a much lower diffuclty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be very careful when lining up Olaf teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Talon players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by bringing Talon and Olaf together, you will not be granting your other teammates much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Olaf ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
