So wait, does that mean Caitlyn never placed one directly under you?

Sounds like bad Caitlyn players.

Theres a difference between "me stepping on it" and "Caitlyn placing it under me while cced"

RalanrApr 13, 20171 votes

And it's usually the second one that's the more valid complaint.

fuffychanApr 13, 2017

Then Ive proved my point about there being too many Malphite ults in the game.

"but zac/galio/new support dude has a delay"

Wait wut?

No. You haven't, you didn't bridge the logic from your opening statement in the post to anything having to do with Malphite ults.

Cait traps don't have to be stepped on to be effective zoning tools.

fuffychanApr 13, 20171 votes

Thats what they are. Effective zoning tools. But you look at these forums and see "wah wah I step on traps every 5 seconds take 5 million damage nerrrrrf"

Why can't the quality of your forum posts be as good as the level you say you play at?

LyingOnLineApr 13, 20172 votes

Because you should never have cloned yourself.

???

LyingOnLineApr 13, 20171 votes

You know, letting your not-much-more-evil clone run around doesn't do anybody any good.

MissingKayoApr 13, 20172 votes

Please don't compare that filth to me.

RalanrApr 13, 20172 votes

Please, he gives filth a bad name.

The Traps need a setup delay that is over 1.5s

She drops them ON you and you get rooted. Its BS

fuffychanApr 13, 20173 votes

So you cant move off a hitbox smaller then a Teemo in 1.5 seconds?

You deserve to get rooted

Problem is chain CC. Zyra snare into cait trap or morg snare into cait trap.

fuffychanApr 13, 20171 votes

How is that any different from any other cc then? Except one that requires another cc to land?

KilanostApr 13, 20172 votes

Because other forms of CC don't come with a guaranteed head shot crit, have shorter distances for use (jinx trap has a very short range), and/or aren't guaranteed to work. Very few ADCs actually have a mechanic for hard CC that isn't on their ult. This is likely by design to avoid chain CC in the early bot lane.

Also just as a point of common sense, traps have to be set without the prey standing on the ground they're placed. This mechanic of setting a trap on top of someone's hit box (where they are standing) just doesn't make sense. Unless you want to tie your trap to a rope and throw it at people that is... Kled

This is actually the most valid counterargument Ive ever seen on this topic. Thank you good sir.

KilanostApr 13, 20171 votes

Happy to help. I'm never out to see champions nerfed into the ground. I just want to see them brought into balance. The intended use of cait traps is for them to be deployed as a defensive or offensive zoning tool that occasionally gives you a head shot when someone walks on one as far as I see. The ability to use them offensively at a distance when combined with a support's snare is something that lacks counterplay outside of taking cleanse. And as far as I'm concerned, balanced counterplay should never involve a summoner spell that can only be used once every 4-5 minutes.

When you are melee you cant move any closer to her and so cant get off the spot. Its stupid it does not have a longer set up time for what it gives her (MASSIVE DPS boost)

fuffychanApr 13, 20172 votes

So a Caitlyn is standing still in melee range? LOL

KilanostApr 13, 20171 votes

I step on them all the time....purposely to remove them from the map.

Ben SwoIoApr 13, 20171 votes

Caitlyn is probably the most brain dead ADC. Aside from her super safe poke, she also has those garbage trap she just lays out across the lane or underneath you, immediately causing it to go off. Stupid mechanics. Don't act like you never got hit by that crap.

Alex h8721Apr 13, 20171 votes

Bruh its not the traps themselves people complain about its the traps when chained w/ other cc.

KarfussApr 13, 20171 votes

The problem with Caitlyn is getting a very significant damage boost while chain CCing.

Being stunned by Karma, Alistar, Thresh and Leona, or rooted by Morgana and Zyra, and THEN having a Caitlyn trap thrown under you, losing a quarter health (more so if crit) in addition to any further attacks and abilities isn't fun to play against.

It's a death sentence, and all you need to do is be incapacitated for one second, which in many cases is unavoidable.
