its just getting ridicolous -safe farming -punishes everyone really hard for just thinking about getting close to her (e or trying to remove traps) -item 3085 -her traps have like 0 counterplay -way too much damage -is in almost every game

For all that she's FOTM, she's not overpowered.

Frankly, this isn't anywhere near Korean Lucian bad.

The armor pen got removed from her passive, dude. I'm a Cait main, and I finally feel like she's not underpowered. Currently, according to Champion.gg, her win rate puts her at 8/18 in the ADC bunch. That's just over the halfway mark. No way is she even remotely OP.

Her traps have no counter play? :o They take a half second or more to activate. If they're already there, walk around them.

Sure, if you Zhonya's or TP in, you're gonna eat a trap. That's the most interesting thing I can think of in terms of really powerful things she can do. Even her ult is blockable... come on man.

Her traps have plenty of counterplay. It's called don't walk on the trap.

She doesn't have way too much dmg.

I've played plenty of games without a Cait.

Her traps are the biggest thing for me, remember watching an LCS match and they're seiging a turret, enemy team comes to defend and cait places 4 fuckin' traps to block the whole path so they easily take the turret and the enemies just wasted their time.

Can't kill them, minions go through them, almost instant arming, have shit loads at once, roots you and allows for a huge damage headshot at massive range. Way too much to be on an ADC, maybe it'd be fine on another champ like

play Braum his shield takes less mana then her main harrass skill shot. also great for clearing a nasty trap then using shield to block the full on damage. dont be afraid block everything she throws at you and your adc, she will rage and oom in no time.

other champs that work against her are Soraka he heal away her poke from a distance Karma who can poke her back Shen if your good but this is risky Trundle it works? i was surprised about this too play a little passive so your passive kicks in a couple of times and see her go OOM.

She is very good early and late game (after 3 items). Mid games is really hard with her (a bit like tristana)

Some matchups are really good vs caitlyn:

  • Draven can all in and outduel caitlyn at any stages of the game, except maybe level 1.
  • Ashe can play a safe laning phase and be more useful later (Don't try to duel cait tho)
  • Lucian is just better than cait overall early and mid. Late it depends.
  • You shouldnt die to a Cait as Ezreal.
  • I feel like MF is a skill matchup.

Just don't let her free harass early. If you're even or slighty behind in CS don't worry. Enter mid game with confidence.

All of the above is still depending most likely on support, so take that with grain a salt.

hopefully they nerf her passive and ulty damage I hate champions who get free items status like armour pen FOR FREE

caitlyn is mostly fine. im ok with her traps being the cancer that they are. every adc needs a good reason to pick them besides "long range".

what i wish they would change is that her E doesnt apply the headshot anymore. it makes going after her super punishing. if she escapes your attempt to get at her that should be enough. you should be crit for half your life because you wanted to get at her.

Caitlynn is balanced, but that's not her problem. She's a nightmare to lane against, and she makes the first 15-20 minutes of the game absolutely frustrating as fuck. After that, her late game is pretty fucking bad, minus her trap walls. She needs a late game buff and an early game nerf.

They could start by bringing both Ashe and Caitlyn attack range back to 550, like every single marksman champion in the game. There is absolutely no reason for her to be an obnoxious special snowflake with 650 range.
