In contrast, by aligning Wukong and Caitlyn together, you may not be granting your team enough magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Caitlyn ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
