I'd never thought this day would return. Today was a good day.

If you can get a duo que support who plays champs that can sustain you through the laning phase like nami/soraka/sona, vayne is significantly more broken than any adc in the game atm, waiting for people to pick up on it.

Why, crit items rework is on 9.3 not 9.2

I'm perming her the moment 9.3 hits.

Unless new StormR is really good on Caitlyn she is going to get nerfed on 9.3 for how trash 225% IE crit dmg is compared to the 10% true convert.

Tbh i can't see Cait being a consistent monster, her kit as most other carries at the moment can't keep up with all of the new bs that is introduced in the game, unless she's got a good support and a team that will peel for her she gets dived as easily as Jinx.

On the other hand i've been playing Tristana lately and i don't think i've lost a lane in last 5-6 matches, she's got crazy mobility, burst and self-peel, if anyone is going to be super broken with better crit items it's gonna be her

Her kit isn't the issue, Caitlyn kit is really good.

But she just has the stats of a ranged minion, lowest atack speeds (with no as) steroids out of all adcs, worst aa animation out of all adcs, worst base hp out of all adcs.

True, with League there's so many variables, and it's just a game afterall, i love playing "duelist" adcs like Vayne or Lucian but heck if riot decided to nerf them to the ground tomorrow and buff the shit out of Jinx and her items she'd be better at dueling while just standing still and right clicking, but when a game is in a somewhat "balanced" state i do think the kit of the champion decides 90% of how that champ can be played and the other 10% are the items, that's why i think Cait can't be as good as Tristana or Vayne in this state of the game cause there's too much damage and mobility going off that if you don't have some reliable way to peel or escape it's gonna be hard for you to keep up.

Thought buffing her stats would help her, she still wont be a tank killer like Vayne or a turret killer like Tristana
