Are Caitlyn or Ashe ever going to get compensation buffs?

La Bello··4 votes·540 views

Riot completely dumpstered their early game and have yet to buff them. Cait was always picked for her early game not her late game so why gut her early game? 53 base attack damage? adding a random attack rate nerf for no reason? Q damage tapering off too hard?Annoying as fuck cast animations on every single skill (is it even worth it to shoot a Q or lay multiple traps in a teamfight?)

Ashe cant even get Q stacks off because they require so much time.The crit slow is cool but its also meh as everyone is packing Deadmans and tenacity crap.

I mean WHY would you pick Caitlyn when Tristana or Jinx already can outrange her at the midgame AND they both have much better laning phases? She gets out DPS by everyone at almost every stage of the game. all of her damage is packed into her headshot but the stupid attack speed nerfs make it stupidly hard to stack up. the net has a massive cooldown and the traps are so easy to avoid (this is the mobility meta remember?) She cant really poke down towers as well as Jinx or Trist.She doesnt really Hyperscale like Twitch or Vayne

WHERE DOES CAIT FIT IN? Can I please have a red post explain to me how we are playing her wrong?

Goodjob on making most other ADC's viable but comon.....Give our golden gals some love.

Ashe and Cait both have great range... I don't see why they need big buffs...

Its not about the range its about literally everything else. you cant play to Caitlyns strengths anymore because of conflicting nerfs and changes. She is outshined by almost every other carry at every stage of the game. she sitting at a 48% win rate and her playrate has gone down by 3%. Im guessing you havent even played her because even something as simple as CSing properly is fucking hard to do. I end up having to take a longsword into lane over a dorans blade just for the extra 2 attack damage and I STILL have trouble getting the melee minions.

And to add to that "they have great range whats the problem" did you know that

Jinx Tristana Twitch KogMaw have even better ranges?(and theyre also 10X more viable and have better teamfight)
