This proves that there is a very bad synergy between Samira and Caitlyn that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Caitlyn has a lower difficulty than Samira. That means Samira players don't need to be careful when arranging Caitlyn teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, Samira players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by grouping Samira and Caitlyn together, you will not be providing your other teammates much magical damage output. Plan to bring other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their capabilities.
