This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Caitlyn.

Is Vi better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no one best synergy for Vi that will no matter what be her ideal synergy. However, overall, Caitlyn is a relatively poor ally for Vi. By locking into the same team as Vi, she drops their win rate by -1.1% to 50.5%. This proves that there is a negative bond between Vi and Caitlyn that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Vi. That means Vi players must be careful when enlisting Caitlyn comrades to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Working on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Vi and Caitlyn together, you will not be giving your other allies very much magic damage. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Caitlyn ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
