Caitlyn was nerfed but her winrate rose? I'm dumb, please explain.

As title. I've been away from League for a bit, did catch on that Caitlyn got a nerf. Returned today and she feels just as fun to lane against as ever (not at all), but I looked at Champion.gg and Lolalytics and... she doesn't seem to be doing much worse? Champion.GG even notes a climb in winrate.

I figure I'm missing something major. What made Caitlyn stronger?

If I had to hazard a guess. The folks jumping on caits op bandwagon saw nerfs and hopped to next fotm who ever is complained about on boards champion. Lower the number of unskilled unfamiliar players using here, resulting in more cait games being won due to more games being played by good caits.
