Is Olaf better when played alongside Nidalee?

There is no top champion pairing for Olaf that will always be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Nidalee is a very bad teammate for Olaf. By playing on the same side as Olaf, she lowers their win rate by -8.5% to 40.5%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad bond between Olaf and Nidalee that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Nidalee has a much greater difficulty compared to Olaf. That means Olaf players should be careful when lining up Nidalee comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to work well with you.

Working alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by grouping Olaf and Nidalee together, you may not be providing your side enough crowd control. Plan to include other champs on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Nidalee teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
