How to Play with Olaf as Darius in LoL

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

Overall, Darius sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Olaf helps Darius perform not as well in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Darius is an ally to Olaf, he gets a little drop in his total damage output. This could demonstrate that Olaf doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Darius is played together with 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 synergisticly with Olaf.

Additionally, when Darius plays with Olaf on the same side, he often takes more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Olaf does a poor job of protecting Darius in teamfights.

Is Darius better when played alongside Olaf?

There is no ideal synergy for Darius that will always be his best synergy. However, overall, Olaf is a very bad companion for Darius. By locking into the same side as Darius, he lowers their win rate by -6.1% to 43.1%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit strategic relationship between Darius and Olaf that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

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

Working alongside, Darius players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Darius and Olaf together, you may not be giving your team enough magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Olaf ally's skill level, 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, regardless.
