Is Caitlyn better when played alongside Nautilus?

There is no top champion pairing for Caitlyn that will 100% of the time be her top ally. However, Nautilus is a not very good teammate for Caitlyn. By playing on the same side as Caitlyn, he decreases their win rate by -2.3% to 47.0%. This signals that there is a negative bond between Caitlyn and Nautilus that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Nautilus has a lower difficulty than Caitlyn. That means Caitlyn players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Nautilus teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing on the same side, Caitlyn players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Caitlyn and Nautilus together, you will not be providing your other allies a great deal of magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Nautilus 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 anyway.
