Is Olaf better when played alongside Briar?
There is no ideal synergy for Olaf that will always be his top ally. Yet, Briar is a not very good companion for Olaf. By being on the same side as Olaf, they lowers their win rate by -2.5% to 46.5%. This signals that there is a negative synergy between Olaf and Briar that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Briar has a lower difficulty than Olaf. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Briar comrades to play with, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.
When playing alongside, Olaf players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by aligning Olaf and Briar together, you probably will not be granting your team much magical damage output. Plan to include other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in their potential.
Regardless of your Briar ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
