Caitlyn went to an average late game adc, to the best late game adc in the game

Headshot: damage increased from 50% bonus damage(+1% damage per 1% crit) to 50-100% bonus damage (+1.5% damage per 1% crit)

few math: with 300 ad and 100% crit, it's going to deal 600+ 750 damage shiv crit 280 damage IE converting 15% into true damage god saves you if you walk on a trap adding 40 / 90 / 140 / 190 / 240 (+ 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 / 100% bonus AD)

So now once the meta slows down to 35-45 minute games She's gonna be absolutely rediculous

Totally didn't see this coming [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Her headshot now does 450% total AD dmg (thats including the base auto attack). Really balanced. I love losing 1200 hp in one auto attack. What the fuck was the point of nerfing ADCs if you are just gonna "compensate" every single ADC with massive ad ratios higher than even assassins? The riot ADC bias strikes again.

Tfw every 6th shot deals same damage as assasin with 1 faceroll and it even has visual ques. So busted. The adc bias my ass.

The fact that you can unabashedly admit that she can do the same damage as an assassins entire spell rotation with 1 auto and still claim its fair is VERY worrying frankly. [sg-soraka]

When did Riot put back in "late game"? Did I miss a patch note?

Well they increased shutdown bounties and added a 2 kill streak shutdown bounty. So sloppy players end up losing games a little more often and games go late at least a little more often.

Didnt Rito say they wont buff her a lot tho? lel

Because she is the gate keeper for bot lane. However, a buff to her very late game is fine, since it won't have much of an effect on her laning phase.

Since they just buffed her late, she won't bully other champs in the early game any more than she already does, so the bot lane stays open for other picks. But it helps her terrible winrate in general. So it is a good decision.

It's almost like she scales into the late game and if you pick an all early game team without ending you deserve to lose, crazy.

yet Caitlyn has a 45.74% win rate with a 4.89% pick rate and 1.26% ban rate in plat + across all regions

so she is legit one of the worst champs in the game

Those stats probably don't account for the changes he's talking about. They went into effect yesterday (and I think in the afternoon yesterday)

The winrate with short game pools are always a mess

Meanwhile her late game means that the game already ended, but go off i guess xd

This change is because she had a unique interaction with old infinity edge that wasn't compensated on its rework

Hopefully they rework her. Boring champion and forever a ball of stats.

I'd say her biggest problem is that when she's even the slighest bit viable she removes any diversity in the bottom lane and removes all form of lane interaction for certain ADC's (Twitch Vayne Xayah KogMaw etc)

When was the last time that Cait was on botlane gatekeeper state?

Lmao she's not getting reworked, sry dear Caitlyn hater.

I'll bet you they are, she's just about one of the worst designed Champions in the game. She's a pale immigration of Dwarven Sniper, and he was a boring design too.

They've only kept her as is so long because of her popularity -due to her range, not fascination with her kit.

Speeedy2 votes

her kit is so much fun, 2 skill shots and planning where to put traps to try and get the enemy to walk into it. Its the reason she is my favorite champ that I have 1 million mastery points on her.

saltran1 votes

I agree that her visuals are outdated for the last Piltover's characters and I can see a Visual Update happening, but her kit is not going anyway, not saying that her kit is the pinnacle of design but not enough to rework it.

I just think it's a waste because yes you can use it for things, Caitlyn doesn't need her abilities the same way other characters do, people don't pick her for them; they pick her for superior range. I'm not saying throw it all out and start over, that would be foolish considering the popularity of the character - but it'd be nice if her abilities mattered more so she wasn't just 100% reliant on autoatk dps items (a common marksman problem which Caitlyn exemplifies by being screwed by item nerfs)

Have you played Caitlyn? She is played around her skills way more than other adcs since her power is on her Headshots that are triggered via her Traps, her Net and once per 7 auto atacks. Old Caitlyn was on the other hand 100% rightclick since her skills were worthless but Cait's rework made a good work by sending a lot of her strenght on the traps and net.

That's a lot a damage

i was seathing when i saw those patch notes. Of all the things to buff about her, why the most obnoxious part of her kit?

saltran1 votes

Because her passive was butchered with the IE change and she needed the dmg there and not other buffs.

That interaction was stupid and busted to begin with tho. Because it effectively multiplies into itself. Why is it okay for her to be doing 1k plus damage in a single auto?

Caitlyn needs her 90 second traps back.
