Overall, Jax sees a very large drop 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 Jax perform poorer in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

This change may signal that Olaf does not support by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that his participation also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Jax is played with Olaf on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Olaf.
Moreover, when Jax plays with Olaf on the same side, he usually takes more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Olaf does a poor job of covering Jax during team fights.

Working alongside, Jax players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by grouping Jax and Olaf together, you will not be granting your other allies much support. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in this pairing's potential.
Regardless of your Olaf ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
