Garen has a lower difficulty than Caitlyn. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Garen comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.
When playing alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by aligning Caitlyn and Garen together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates enough magical damage output. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in their playstyle.
