Who Wins
- Caitlyn-Nami wins pre-6 due to superior range and poke potential, with your Q-auto trades being outranged by Caitlyn's 650 range and Nami's W bounce damage.
- Post-6 you gain significant teamfight potential with R, but they still control the 2v2 through superior positioning and disengage tools.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q-auto on enemies when they're focused on CSing, then immediately back off to avoid Caitlyn's retaliation.
- Coordinate with Ashe's W slow to land easier Q-auto combos and enable her to follow up with autos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should generally avoid roaming as your ADC needs constant protection against Caitlyn's superior range and poke.
- If you must roam, do it when Ashe has backed and the wave is pushing toward your tower, timing it around 6-8 minutes when mid lane fights are common.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't stand too close to Ashe as Nami's R can catch both of you, and avoid using W for poke when you're low on mana since you need it for sustain.
- Never face-check bushes against Caitlyn as her traps combined with Nami's Q can lead to instant death.
