Olaf can combine Berserker Rage, Vicious Strikes, and Ragnarok at low life to become deceptively strong.

Advice to Understand How Ekko Will Play
Chronobreak is a potent escape tool, but it can also be quite powerful when used offensively. Don't underestimate its damage potential.
If you can proc Z-Drive Resonance on an enemy champion, it's worth taking risks to do so. The bonus Move Speed makes it easy to escape.
Phase Dive's dash is a great tool for setting up Ekko's other abilities. Use it to get double hits with Timewinder or get into position to detonate Parallel Convergence.

Overall, Olaf sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ekko. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Ekko helps Olaf perform poorer in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Olaf is paired with Ekko, he observes a small increase in his full damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Ekko helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Ekko on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ekko.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Ekko on the same team, he typically takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage may indicate that Ekko does a decent job of covering Olaf in team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Ekko?
There is no one best companion for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Ekko is a decent teammate for Olaf. By being on the same side as Olaf, he raises their win rate by 2.7% to 51.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a somewhat important strategic relationship between Olaf and Ekko that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Ekko has a much greater difficulty compared to Olaf. That means Olaf players need to be careful when arranging Ekko teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a much greater level of skill to do well with you.
Working cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by aligning Olaf and Ekko together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates a great deal of engage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Ekko ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
