How to Play with Ahri as Olaf in LoL

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

Overall, Olaf sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ahri. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Ahri helps Olaf perform worse in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Olaf is paired with Ahri, he gets a little drop in his total damage output. This change could demonstrate that Ahri doesn't help cover for him to deal more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Ahri on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ahri.

Additionally, when Olaf plays with Ahri on the same team, he often receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Ahri does a decent job of protecting Olaf in team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Ahri?

There is no top champion pairing for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Ahri is a relatively poor teammate for Olaf. By playing on the same team as Olaf, she lowers their win rate by -1.3% to 47.7%. This shows that there is a harmful bond between Olaf and Ahri that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Ahri has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you need to be cautious when finding Ahri teammates to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by pairing Olaf and Ahri together, you may not be giving your team a lot of engage. Make sure to have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Ahri ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
