Adjust Caitlyn's ult

Lightning I··1 votes·903 views

Caitlyn's ult can get blocked by any champion passing infront of the target, ok no problem just time it right.

But those moments when I fire ult and just as the bullet comes out and the enemy champion does something to become untargetable or dies, Cait's ult goes on full cooldown. (if the bullet doesn't come out then just 5 sec cd)

Like why? One can rarely use Cait's ult considering it's hard to land on the right target and leaves you exposed during fights. Sure it's a long range point-and-click ult but that's because she's the only adc that uses her ult only for dealing damage (unlike vayne and twitch who just get boosts)

Cait's not overpowered and she doesn't need this to happen. I feel like out of all champions, Cait's ult is the least used ult in the game (or the least ult to hit right).

Please consider this change: If Ace in the hole doesn't hit an enemy champion (in all cases) or the enemy champion is not alive anymore, it goes on a 5 sec cooldown.

Once the bullet is fired the cool down is triggered. Even if you lose your ult, you likely got an enemy ult/powerful life saving ability. Plus it’s refunded to 5 seconds if you don’t fire for some reason, seems fair to me.

Let's say I used her ult only one time in one game, and a Far enemy used an ult/powerful life saving ability. Does this seem fair to you?

that seems more of a you problem than a Cait ult being weak problem. Stop waiting for the perfect opportunity to use her ult and use it more liberally or just as a poke tool

I was just saying that hypothetically.

Do you use Jinx's ult for poke? Do you use Vayne's ult for poke? for an ult than can be blocked by anyone in its path, this is an unnecessary mechanic.

i would be all up for her ult to not be blocked by anyone if the damage of it gets cut by 75%

Cait's ult is nothing like Jinx's or Vayne's. Jinx's is literally a finisher it's damage increases the less health the opponent has so it would be stupid to use it just for poke. Cait's damage is the same no matter if the opponent has all of it's health or is 1HP away from dying and Vayne? do i really need to talk about how you cannot use Vayne's ult to poke at all no matter how hard you try since it's impossible?

Why in the world would I use an ult to poke with the champion that literally has the longest attack range and DOUBLE that with traps and nets, not to mention long range Q.

In fact, why would I use ult to poke? If I want to go all out, I use ult. If I want to poke, I use my normal abilities and save myself some mana.

ive always wondered what the not block able damage would be i thought it should be like 300/450/600 or maybe 300/400/500. That would add a lot of power to her kit. Since her ult really is just used for poke now.

Well, yeah. They used the purpose of their ability to counter play your ultimate.

Agreed, her ult is really weak.
