Is Olaf better when played alongside Cho'Gath?

There is no one best champion pairing for Olaf that will always be his best teammate. Yet, Cho'Gath is a not very good teammate for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, he drops their win rate by -1.1% to 47.9%. This proves that there is a harmful synergy between Olaf and Cho'Gath that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Cho'Gath has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you should be very careful when enlisting Cho'Gath comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing alongside, Olaf players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Olaf and Cho'Gath together, you will not be providing your other allies very much support. Plan to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Cho'Gath ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
