Olaf has a much lower diffuclty than Nidalee. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Olaf comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Nidalee players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
