Is Caitlyn better when played alongside Samira?

There is no top champion pairing for Caitlyn that will 100% of the time be her ideal synergy. However, Samira is a terrible ally for Caitlyn. By playing on the same side as Caitlyn, she decreases their win rate by -7.2% to 42.1%. This clearly indicates that there is an easy to overcome and exploit strategic relationship between Caitlyn and Samira that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

When playing cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Caitlyn and Samira together, you will not be granting your other allies a lot of magical damage output. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Samira ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
