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

When Aphelios is an ally to Olaf, he observes a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This change may demonstrate that Olaf doesn't help cover for him to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Aphelios is played alongside Olaf on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Olaf. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Olaf.
Moreover, when Aphelios plays with Olaf on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Olaf does a decent job of protecting Aphelios during team fights.
