Is Illaoi better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no top synergy for Illaoi that will 100% of the time be her top ally. However, overall, Caitlyn is a very typical ally for Illaoi. By playing on the same team as Illaoi, she lowers their win rate by -0.6% to 49.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Illaoi and Caitlyn that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Illaoi. That means you should be cautious when enlisting Caitlyn allies to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Illaoi players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by pairing Illaoi and Caitlyn together, you will not be granting your other allies enough magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Caitlyn ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
