If we assume that Viktor and Jayce do not try to kill each other, i think that Viktor wins.
Caitlyn is an sniper and im pretty sure that she would insta kill Jayce with one shoot in the head... But Viktor in other hand, wears a helmet, so, a headshoot would not be deadly for his case.
Viktor alone is waay to op for Cait and Vi... Maybe Vi could deal some damage to him, but Viktor is able to control the gravity of an area, create protecive shields, shoot lasers and summon thunder storms at will.
So, he would stop them in the area with his Gravity Field and then one shot them with the Death Ray. That laser can melt walls... so, the armor of Vi would be no problem... also, he can shoot the ray to her head.
... Jinx in other hand... maybe she could defeat them all with her giant Rocket... maybe, then again, Viktor could stop/destoy/dodge the rocket... or even survive the explosion since most of his body is made of metal. And it seems that she is actually smart... so there is that.
I think Caitlyn is heavily outclassed here. Especially if its a real 2 v 2 not Caitlyn sniping unsuspecting targets. Jayce and Viktor would win but only because Caitlyn lore-wise is weak, Vi could definitely hold her own though as her glove is said to have impossibly human force behind it. Something like be able to lift up to 10000 pounds don'tt qoute me on that I might be wrong but her glove does give her comic booky superhuman strength I am sure of that.
Jayce and Viktor have Shuriman god weapons, pretty sure that says enough
This depends super heavily on the set up.
Caitlyn is fairly useless unless she's set up far and away from the actual combat, where she can fully utilize her skills. She'd play more of a support role, harassing Jayce and Viktor to keep their heads on a swivel so they can't focus on Vi as easily. Vi, of course, would be on the ground using Caitlyn's cover fire to close distance, get a few blows in, then probably disengage with Caitlyn's support for another go.
Essentially, they'd be using hit and run tactics to gain the advantage.
However, Viktor and Jayce hold the advantage on the ground. They have more range than Vi, so if they can find suitable cover they should be able to effectively hold her off and wear her down, if not outright disabling/crippling her movement with their ranged attacks. They would likely be fighting more defensively because of Caitlyn's sniper fire, so they would be using less energy than Vi who is on the offensive. In addition, Viktor has his Gravity Field to impede Vi's advance, if not lock it down entirely. If she gets caught there, it's pretty much game over.
But if she does make it in close? Jayce isn't exactly a slouch in this area. He'd take up the vanguard position if they couldn't hold Vi off, protecting Viktor and allowing him to reposition to re-create the range advantage. Caitlyn would have to take one of them out here if Vi doesn't get Viktor out of the fight first.
Round one I'm handing to Jayce and Viktor.
Round two gets more interesting with Jinx. She's on the ground with Vi, but she still has her own range to cover their advancement with. As a bonus, she uses rockets that are pretty destructive. This means she can damage or destroy whatever cover Jayce and Viktor are using to stay out of Caitlyn's line of sight. Vi's approach is much easier this time around, and she has a bit more direct help with Jinx around.
Viktor still has the Gravity Field, but if he uses it on Vi it'll be harder to take advantage of the opening with both Jinx and Caitlyn firing at them. Jinx's higher rate of fire also means less openings. Viktor and Jayce will have to be on the move for this one.
Being on the move, the two will be harder to track. Caitlyn will have to expend more time and energy watching their movements and keeping her team up to date. This is something she's probably very used to doing though, likely having a lot of experience with it from her line of work. This actually gives a potential upside to the situation where careful shots and pressure could force Viktor and Jayce into a position the trio wants them in.
Jayce's gate-cannon combo is a lot more important here. They're at a numbers disadvantage, and likely being pushed back and pressured into a bad position. If he can land a good, clean shot at Caitlyn's position he could be able to take her out of the equation, relieving some pressure. Alternatively, if he can take shots at her general location he could force her to relocate, buying his team a bit of time to pressure Vi and Jinx without worrying about sniper fire. That's not as optimal though, as she may not relocate immediately, or at all, and end up taking one of them out when they least expect it.
All in all, I give round 2 to Cait/Vi/Jinx.
