Ever since she made it to League of Legends, Caitlyn has been one of the most popular marksmen in the game. Whenever she was a strong champion, you would see both professional and casual players play her. There were occasions when she became so oppressive that Riot had to nerf her into oblivion.
After the recent buffs last season, she’s now a stable presence across all levels of play once again. Given the importance of having strong early-game bot lanes to create pressure on the map, it looks like she won’t be leaving the meta any time soon. With that in mind, we have compiled a list of the best 5 supports to play Caitlyn, explaining their core strengths (and weaknesses).
Morgana is the best support for Caitlyn, period. This is because two can create great combos thanks to Morgana’s Dark Binding (Q) and Caitlyn’s traps. On top of that, Morgana is one of the few supports that can peel and protect her ADC with her Dark Shield (E).
The two champions form an oppressive poke lane that one-shots enemies if they get hit by any of the aforementioned crowd controls. At level six, the bot lane duo gets even stronger since Morgana gets access to her own ultimate, Soul Shacklers (R). With the added slow and root, Caitlyn has enough time to do what she wants, and even if the enemy gets away, the ADC can snipe him with her own ultimate.

Lux is very similar to Morgana in terms of how the bot lane duo works. The main difference, though, lies in Lux’s burst damage. The Demacian mage has a lot more damage and more range compared to Morgana, making this bot lane the most aggressive one in the entire game.

Treat this duo as a double glass cannon: they can destroy anything in their sight with one rotation of spells. As long as 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.
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 in any moment. On top of that, Caitlyn should often have lane priority, making it easier to gain access to objective control.

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.
The last support we recommend to play alongside Caitlyn is Senna. Similar to Karma, this support is able to protect her partner with heals. That said, the main strength comes from the fact that both champions can get control of the wave management more easily throughout the laning phase, facilitating early objective controls as well as better tempo.
The main downside compared to Karma, though, is the lower poke during the laning phase since Senna is quite weak and needs to scale. In this case, it will be Caitlyn’s job to ensure she can bully out the enemies and build up a gold lead.
