Is Olaf better when played alongside Syndra?

There is no ideal companion for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, Syndra is a not very good teammate for Olaf. By being on the same team as Olaf, she decreases their win rate by -1.8% to 47.2%. This proves that there is a negative bond between Olaf and Syndra that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Syndra has a much greater difficulty compared to Olaf. That means Olaf players must be cautious when finding Syndra allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a much higher level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing together, Olaf players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by grouping Olaf and Syndra together, you probably will not be providing your side a great deal of cover. Make sure to include other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Syndra teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
