How to Play with Xayah as Olaf in LoL

The Olaf Xayah synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Xayah, 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 Xayah. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Xayah helps Olaf perform poorer in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Olaf is an ally to Xayah, he sees a little drop in his total damage dealt. This difference could signal that Xayah does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played together with Xayah on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Xayah.

Additionally, when Olaf plays with Xayah on the same side, he on average receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Xayah does a decent job of protecting Olaf in team fights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Xayah?

There is no one best companion for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his ideal ally. Yet, Xayah is a terrible ally for Olaf. By locking into the same team as Olaf, she drops their win rate by -4.8% to 44.2%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad bond between Olaf and Xayah that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Xayah has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means you should be cautious when enlisting Xayah allies to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working cooperatively, Olaf players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by bringing Olaf and Xayah together, you may not be granting your other allies enough magical damage output. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Xayah ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
