Overall, Zac sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Caitlyn. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Caitlyn helps Zac perform poorer in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Zac is an ally to Caitlyn, he observes a little decrease in his complete damage dealt. This difference may indicate that Caitlyn doesn't help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Zac is played alongside Caitlyn on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Caitlyn.

Additionally, when Zac plays with Caitlyn on the same team, he often takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Caitlyn does a poor job of covering Zac during team fights.

Is Zac better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no top ally for Zac that will 100% of the time be his top ally. However, Caitlyn is a very typical teammate for Zac. By locking into the same side as Zac, she drops their win rate by -1.0% to 50.8%. This shows that there is a weak bond between Zac and Caitlyn that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Caitlyn has a lower difficulty than Zac. That means Zac players don't need to be careful when lining up Caitlyn teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by bringing Zac and Caitlyn together, you may not be providing your team a great deal of support. Plan to have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Caitlyn ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
