Overall, Rek'Sai sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Olaf.

Is Rek'Sai better when played alongside Olaf?

There is no ideal ally for Rek'Sai that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. However, Olaf is a very bad companion for Rek'Sai. By being on the same side as Rek'Sai, he decreases their win rate by -4.1% to 44.3%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad bond between Rek'Sai and Olaf that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Olaf has a lower difficulty than Rek'Sai. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Olaf comrades to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Rek'Sai and Olaf together, you may not be giving your team enough magic damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

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