Pick rate and win rate aren't correlated like that.

The number of people playing him went down because he got nerfed (people don't want to use a champion that's difficult to play or not going to win). His win rate went down because of the nerf as well (made him less viable), not because people are picking him less.

In fact, to some extent, the opposite should be true. If we assume good Olaf players will always continue to use Olaf and that bad ones will quit early than less people picking him means his win rate should in fact go up (because bad Olaf players are more likely to throw him away early than the good ones, so the number of good players using him should be higher as the pick rate decreases).
