Is Caitlyn better when played alongside Nami?

There is no perfect ally for Caitlyn that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. However, Nami is a very typical ally for Caitlyn. By locking into the same team as Caitlyn, she lowers their win rate by -0.8% to 48.5%. This proves that there is not really a strong bond between Caitlyn and Nami that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Nami has a lower difficulty than Caitlyn. That means Caitlyn players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Nami comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Caitlyn and Nami together, you probably will not be giving your side much engage potential. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Nami teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
