Is Blitzcrank better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no ideal ally for Blitzcrank that will no matter what be his best teammate. Yet, Caitlyn is a not very good companion for Blitzcrank. By locking into the same team as Blitzcrank, she decreases their win rate by -1.1% to 50.5%. This signals that there is a bad synergy between Blitzcrank and Caitlyn that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Blitzcrank. That means you need to be cautious when lining up Caitlyn comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing alongside, Blitzcrank players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by bringing Blitzcrank and Caitlyn together, you will not be granting your side a great deal of AP. Plan to pick other champions on your team that offsets this hole in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Caitlyn teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
