Overall, Kai'Sa sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Caitlyn. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Caitlyn supports by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played together with Caitlyn on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Caitlyn.

Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Caitlyn on the same team, she often takes a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Caitlyn does a poor job of covering Kai'Sa in teamfights.

Is Kai'Sa better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no ideal synergy for Kai'Sa that will always be her best teammate. However, Caitlyn is a relatively poor ally for Kai'Sa. By locking into the same side as Kai'Sa, she drops their win rate by -2.4% to 44.1%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful bond between Kai'Sa and Caitlyn that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Caitlyn has a lower difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Caitlyn comrades to play with, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Kai'Sa players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by pairing Kai'Sa and Caitlyn together, you will not be granting your team much crowd control. Make sure to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Caitlyn teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
