Is Nami better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Nami that will always be her ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Caitlyn is a very typical ally for Nami. By being on the same side as Nami, she decreases their win rate by -0.6% to 48.5%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Nami and Caitlyn that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players should be careful when arranging Caitlyn comrades to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing alongside, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by grouping Nami and Caitlyn together, you may not be giving your other allies enough protection for burst damage. Plan to pick other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
