Olaf Lucian Synergy Stats
How to Play with Lucian as Olaf in LoL
The Olaf Lucian synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Lucian, 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 large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lucian. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Lucian helps Olaf perform not as well in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Olaf is paired with Lucian, he sees a barely noticable drop in his complete damage dealt. This difference could signal that Lucian does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Lucian on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Lucian. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Lucian.
Moreover, when Olaf plays with Lucian on the same side, he on average receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Lucian does a decent job of covering Olaf during team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Lucian?
There is no universally accepted best companion for Olaf that will always be his ideal synergy. Yet, Lucian is a very typical ally for Olaf. By locking into the same side as Olaf, he lowers their win rate by -0.8% to 48.2%. This demonstrates that there is a weak synergy between Olaf and Lucian that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Lucian has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you should be cautious when enlisting Lucian allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Fighting on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by grouping Olaf and Lucian together, you may not be granting your side enough magical damage output. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their abilities.
Regardless of your Lucian ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
