Is Vladimir better when played alongside Olaf?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Vladimir that will always be his #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Olaf is a not very good companion for Vladimir. By being on the same side as Vladimir, he drops their win rate by -1.3% to 48.7%. This signals that there is a bad strategic relationship between Vladimir and Olaf that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Olaf has a much lower diffuclty than Vladimir. That means Vladimir players don't need to be cautious when lining up Olaf teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working together, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Vladimir and Olaf together, you may not be providing your other teammates a lot of support. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Olaf teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
