How to Play with Caitlyn as Gwen in LoL

The Gwen Caitlyn synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Caitlyn, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Gwen 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 fall shows that Caitlyn helps Gwen perform worse in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Gwen tries to synergize with Caitlyn, she observes a barely noticable drop in her total damage output. This difference could demonstrate that Caitlyn does not help protection for her to deal more damage or that her participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played together with Caitlyn on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Caitlyn. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Caitlyn.

Moreover, when Gwen plays with Caitlyn on the same team, she on average receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Caitlyn does a poor job of protecting Gwen during teamfights.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no ideal ally for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Caitlyn is a very typical ally for Gwen. By playing on the same side as Gwen, she decreases their win rate by -0.1% to 48.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak synergy between Gwen and Caitlyn that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means you need to be cautious when finding Caitlyn allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Playing on the same side, Gwen players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Gwen and Caitlyn together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of engage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Caitlyn ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
