IDEA: Shift Power from Cait's Basic Abilities and Passive to Her Ultimate

Maybe rework her ultimate because Twitch and Vayne burst is gated by their short range and ults. If any burst champions want to burst Caitlyn then they are easily within her huge range. Additionally her damage is undodgeable unless you're Jax, Shen, or Yasuo.

It's pretty frustrating to play as Ahri or Lux mid against a Caitlyn bot since as long as the enemy jungler ganks and takes first turret bot, Caitlyn will just rotate mid, throw 5 traps under your turret, forcing you to cs with your abilities under turret heavily draining your resources until you have to back and your mid turret will no longer remain. At least with Vayne or Twitch I'll cs them or escape but will still be able to poke them heavily when their ults are down due to their lack of burst and range and Vayne and Twitch's early game isn't nearly as good as Caitlyn 's.

Reworking Caitlyn's ultimate to something that gives Caitlyn a steroid of some sort while nerfing her basic abilities and passive (or maybe reworking those too) will gives a window of opportunity for burst champions to burst Caitlyn besides Caitlyn's e cooldown.

What if during your ultimate channel, you can choose between 3 body parts? Like shooting head for extra/execute damage, shooting legs for heavy slow, and maybe arms for reduced damage? They can be chosen by pressing Q,W, or E during ult channel. And blocking it will mean the extra effect is lost.

she doesn't really have any power in her basic abilities anyway. It's all mostly in her W; Q doesn't get used outside of lane and E is her escape tool.

Would rather see less power in her passive because 3 scalings on it is absurd.

her ult has one of the highest base damages?
