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

When Olaf is an ally to Yorick, he gets a moderate decrease in his total damage output. This difference may demonstrate that Yorick does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played alongside Yorick 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 with Yorick.

Additionally, when Olaf plays with Yorick on the same team, he often takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Yorick does a poor job of protecting Olaf during teamfights.

Is Olaf better when played alongside Yorick?

There is no top synergy for Olaf that will 100% of the time be his top ally. Yet, overall, Yorick is a very bad teammate for Olaf. By locking into the same side as Olaf, he lowers their win rate by -4.3% to 44.7%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit bond between Olaf and Yorick that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Yorick has a greater difficulty than Olaf. That means Olaf players need to be cautious when enlisting Yorick allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing together, Olaf players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Olaf and Yorick together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of utility. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this hole in this pairing's kit.

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