How to Play with Olaf as Nami in LoL

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

Overall, Nami sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Olaf helps Nami perform poorer in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Nami tries to synergize with Olaf, she gets a marginal improvement in her full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Olaf supports by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Nami is played with Olaf on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Olaf.

Additionally, when Nami plays with Olaf on the same side, she often receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Taking more damage could mean that Olaf does a poor job of covering Nami during team fights.

Is Nami better when played alongside Olaf?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Nami that will always be her #1 synergy. Yet, Olaf is a very bad teammate for Nami. By being on the same side as Nami, he decreases their win rate by -3.6% to 45.5%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad bond between Nami and Olaf that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Olaf has a lower difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players don't need to be careful when lining up Olaf teammates to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working together, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by pairing Nami and Olaf together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of tankyness. Make sure to include other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Olaf teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
