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

This may indicate that Brand supports by providing cover for him to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Brand 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 with Brand.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Brand on the same team, he often takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Brand does a poor job of covering Olaf during teamfights.

Brand has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you should be careful when enlisting Brand teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.
