Overall, Kennen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Olaf.
Moreover, when Kennen plays with Olaf on the same side, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Olaf does a decent job of protecting Kennen during teamfights.

Working on the same side, Kennen players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
