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

This change could indicate that Caitlyn doesn't help protection for her to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps increase the round's duration.

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

By being on the same side as Ahri, she decreases their win rate by -0.8% to 47.4%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Ahri and Caitlyn that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

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

Working together, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

In contrast, by aligning Ahri and Caitlyn together, you will not be granting your team enough tankyness. Plan to include other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's abilities.

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