Olaf Akali Synergy Stats
How to Play with Akali as Olaf in LoL
The Olaf Akali synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Akali, 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 Akali. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Akali helps Olaf perform not as well in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Olaf is an ally to Akali, he sees a barely noticable drop in his complete damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Akali does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Akali on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Akali.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Akali on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Akali does a poor job of covering Olaf in team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Akali?
There is no one best synergy for Olaf that will always be his top teammate. However, Akali is a not very good teammate for Olaf. By being on the same side as Olaf, she decreases their win rate by -1.5% to 47.5%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful bond between Olaf and Akali that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Akali has a much greater difficulty compared to Olaf. That means Olaf players should be careful when finding Akali teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by aligning Olaf and Akali together, you probably will not be granting your team a great deal of crowd control. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Akali ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
