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

This difference could signal that Sylas does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played with Sylas on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Sylas. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Sylas.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Sylas on the same team, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Sylas does a decent job of protecting Olaf during teamfights.
