Why isn't Caitlyn played max CDR AD Caster like Varus?

Her ult would hit harder with a manamune, her poke is on a lower cooldown and doesn't need to charge, and her early game is way more annoying to a mid laner. And let's not forget the spammable root she'll have. She can also ult before and after a fight.

What do you think GD?

Because Varus is actually an ADC/Caster design, while Caitlyn is a marksman with spells for utility and sniping.

Her poke doesn't hit as hard or go as far as varus's. And her root aka trap has an arm time and in a 1v1 wouldn't usually work.

Varus has a lot of utility in his spells beyond poke and his poke does a lot more damage and has a lot more range.

unfortunately such an option practically cuts caitlynn's damage in half though. 50% armor ignore base on headshot and up to 55% removal by items, caitlynn can actually increase her base damage more than the 50%(unless they changed that) that headshot already does

caitlynn mid would be less vulnerable to ganks because of her traps though, which is something to consider, but I think maokai could do mid if that were all it takes XD

It would work only if her Q was it longer range/
