If you don’t know which supports you should be playing with Caitlyn, here is a list of the best champions to pair up with her in season 15.
The best supports with Caitlyn are the ones who can empower her laning phase or provide utility to maximize her combos.
The strongest support choices can depend on the meta
Thresh is one of the better tank support for Caitlyn.
Ever since she made it to League of Legends, Caitlyn has been one of the most popular marksmen in the game.
In the past seasons, Caitlyn was considered a staple pick in professional play due to her superior range and ability to dictate the laning phase in the bottom lane, which allowed teams to play around dragons more often. Often paired with another ADC like Ashe, these types of combinations were nerfed due to how oppressive they were.
With that in mind, we have compiled a list of the best 5 supports to play Caitlyn in the current season, explaining their core strengths (and weaknesses).

Lux is currently the preferred choice to be played with Caitlyn. This is thanks to the burst damage that Lux can offer, making it easy to one-shot enemies with single combo rotations.
Treat this duo as a double glass cannon: they can destroy anything in their sight if they hit one of their crowd control abilities. For example, if Lux hits her Light Binding (Q), the opponents will be looking at the grey screen.
The trade-off for playing this duo, though, is the loss of peeling ability. Caitlyn and Lux are much more vulnerable to enemy ganks or engages due to the lack of mobility, and while Lux does have a shield on her W, it’s not enough to protect her and the ADC.

- Highest burst damage combination with Caitlyn
- Double ranged pairing for maximum harass and poke in the laning phase
- Used to bully weak bot lane that need to scale up
- Can be weak from behind, vulnerable to ganks
Morgana is similar to Lux, although she is currently less powerful at the higher ends of the ranked ladder. Morgana’s Dark Binding (Q) and Caitlyn’s traps can lock down targets enough to shut them down.
The upside Morgana has is her ability to peel and protect Caitlyn with her Dark Shield (E), which increases her chances of surviving incoming threats.

- Long crowd control chains to lock down targets
- Good pushing power with Morgana’s W
- Spell shield to peel Caitlyn
Thresh and Caitlyn are one of the most annoying bot lane to play against, considering the amount of crowd control the two can offer. By playing them together, you can set up Caitlyn for even more headshots and bully the enemy out of the game.
This duo is particularly strong at making picks depending on who Thresh hooks. The enemy will have to pay particular attention to both Caitlyn’s traps but also Thresh’s combos as they might be caught off guard at any moment. On top of that, Caitlyn should still guarantee lane priority, making it easier to gain access to objective control.

- Versatile pick that can punish enemies but also peel for her ADC
- Thresh has good CC chains with Caitlyn
- Requires high proficiency to be effective
You probably have understood the trend here at this point: Caitlyn works best with ranged supports. Karma is yet another champion that offers good poke. What differentiates her from other champions in the list, though, is her ability to peel her ally.
She is probably the best champion when it comes to protecting: she has shields that can also give a good boost of movement speed to quickly draw distance from enemies.

Aside from that, Karma offers a good mid-range poke with her Qs and the ability to constantly pressure during the laning phase with her wave-clearing ability. While it’s not as easy to get kills with this bot lane duo, make sure to siege and get turret plates to farm the gold.
- Strong laning phase with poke abilities from both champions
- Karma provides shields at all phases of the game, increasing Caitlyn’s chances of surviving
- Requires snowballing heavily to be effective
The last support we recommend playing alongside Caitlyn is Milio. Similar to Karma, this support is able to protect her partner with shields and heals.
That said, the main strength comes from Milio’s ability to extend her auto attack range when he casts his W, allowing her to dish damage from a safer distance. Additionally, he can cleanse incoming crowd control with his ultimate, which can be game-deciding in teamfights.

- Provides strong peeling power as an enchanter
- Decently strong in the current meta
- Grants additional range with his W
- Can cleanse crowd control with ultimate
