[Gameplay] Caitlyn's trap does not give vision anymore

RosyB·Feb 2, 2016·1 votes·636 views

Before the last patch (could be the one before that, I played very little in January/December) Caitlyn's trap (w) gave short vision when placed for example in a bush or over a wall. I played Caitlyn yesterday and this doesn't happen anymore, ever. I tested it by creating a custom game and placing a trap in a bush I didn't have vision in. I'm not sure if it's a deliberate change but I read nothing about it, so I wanted to post it here. It is a huge change for using her w, since I think that every seasoned Caitlyn player will use the traps to facecheck.

This is actually intended, and was changed back in patch 5.22.

Oh allright.. No more facechecks for me then :P. Do you perhaps also know why the walk-click-auto-attack (I don't know how its officially called) doesn't work for her long headshot?

First of all, this mechanic is called "Attack Move" or "Attack Move Click" depending on whether you want to need to click after the initial button press or want it to work on button pressed. And it works with the headshot mechanic. The important thing to notice about it though, is that Attack Move will initiate a basic attack on the closest enemy target. With as of standard "closest" meaning the closest enemy to YOU. So if it's a minion it will initiate a basic attack on that minion or if it's another non-marked champion you will do a normal basic attack on that one instead of procing the headshot. So a while ago RIOT implemented a new sub-mechanic for the Attack Move mechanic. There is an option now for either attacking the closest enemy to you or YOUR MOUSE CURSOR. And this is the one you want for such mechanics. Because then you can make use of your Attack Move Click and click very close to the enemy with the marking for a headshot and if its the closest target then you will proc headshot on them. Caitlyn
