Caitlyn is so frustrating to lane against I don't know what to do really.

I play Kog or Sivir whenever I get autofilled or my friends want me to play adc, but I really end up easily dying to her because of traps or headshot damage. The better the player, the harder it is to even do anything whatsoever.

sivir is a counter to cait.

you can use her spell shield to get free mana from her traps , use it to block her ult. also sivir wave clear will push right back at caitlyn making it almost impossible for her to push you under turret

kog in lane is bad vs cait, he has to scale. after laning phase as long as you didnt feed her you will hard out scale.

I still have to get close to farm my minions and she pokes with a headshot or her Q I think. What do I do as Sivir?

play behind the minions , if she uses Q it does reduce damage the more targets it pass through.

her head shot is on a counter, i believe its every 8 autos, or 4 if in a bush or if you step a on a trap or get hit with her E .

if cait uses her headshot passive on you she is going to draw minion agro. and this would be the time to trade back cuz her most damage tool is just used.

cait is AIDS bc she doesn't just rely on you making obvious mistakes, she expects you to

an insulting champion in general

I have another question then, there was one match I had last week where she was the midlaner while I was playing AurelionSol. This player obviously knew what they were doing and I've never lands against her in mid. I tried to move left and right to evade her net but annoyingly enough they always put a trap where I was trying to go. Should I have tried to play more aggressively or play a bit safer? It's hard for me to know in what seemed to be an unusual matchup.

As someone else mentioned, Sivir hard counters Cait. Take fleet and just perma push her. Cait wins lane by pushing her laner into tower and then harassing them under it. If you're pushing instead, she will struggle to harass because then she has to choose between gaining gold from minions and hitting you. Furthermore, if she does it when she has a big wave stacked against her, it will do a lot of damage.

For her Q, its actually pretty easy to dodge and you do take reduced damage when it goes through minions, which most Caits if they're being pushed in will be trying to use Q to push their wave back out instead. Her traps, Q, ult, and net are all spell shield able.
