Tips for Playing as Olaf with Taric
Olaf can combine Berserker Rage, Vicious Strikes, and Ragnarok at low life to become deceptively strong.
The bonus healing granted by Vicious Strikes amplifies your Life Steal from all sources as well as heals from allies.
Advice to Understand How Taric Will Play
The cooldown reducing component of Bravado makes Cooldown Reduction items like Frozen Heart, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Spirit Visage exceptionally powerful on Taric.
Using Starlight's Touch at lower charges makes its healing less Mana efficient, but can greatly increase Taric's sustained damage via Bravado.
Rather than saving Cosmic Radiance for the last moment and risking someone dying during the delay, it can be more beneficial to cast it as soon as you know a teamfight is guaranteed to start.

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

This difference could indicate that Taric does not provide cover for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Olaf is played together with Taric 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 Taric.
Additionally, when Olaf plays with Taric on the same side, he usually takes less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Taric does a decent job of covering Olaf during teamfights.

In contrast, by aligning Olaf and Taric together, you will not be providing your side enough magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Taric ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
