seriously. How the fuck do you accept to lane against a champion like caitlyn 3/10 games? how? pantheon is played top lane like 1 out of 100 games and hes cancer.

Because if the adc and support play well, cait isnt an issue. That said, you need to play veerrryyy careful and need to play a healing/shielding support vs cait. Also best to have an ADC that can match caits range and poke...... For example, tristana and jinx

Tristana sucks in early game, and jinx vs cait is still on the side of cait

there is a reason that cait has 53% win rate, and 55% win rate in high diamond/master she can't lose lane, and her teamfight doesn't suck, her late game is now on a vayne lvl due to massive headshots that can crit

Cait is cancer, when you lane against her she gives you cancer, if pantheon is cancer to lane against then so is cait

lol tristana is not good vs cait in terms of range. ashe is the closest with 600 range.

Caitlyn in the right hands is oppressive. in plat + most players understand how to abuse her at least half way decently and yeah she is awful to play against. she is an issue.

honestly not because her lane is dominant. thats her schtick always has been. to me, its that her E proc's a head shot. now if u aggress on her, her main defensive tool is also a BIG offensive tool especially once she gets some AD.

Jhin works very well too

Cait's winrate at champion.gg is currently 52%. So in 100 games with her, only 2 are won by her natural advantage.

I've been playing Cait for years, and I have to say she still doesn't feel OP to me. Like, I'd be gold by now if she were.

you're just bad if you haven't made it to gold in years. sorry.

that says a lot more about you than the champ itself

30% pick. Winrate slightly lower than Twitch, who has half her pick rate. And we definitely can't deny Twitch is broken.

Unlike, say, vayne, cait is very counterable. yes, she is a lane bully, but she can be outplayed, and feels fair to play against (I do have have a rune page I use on my support pretty much exclusively vs. cait, but that is part of countering), and feels fun. For example, I never once banned cait, but I usually ban vayne when supporting. You shut down cait, she is not too useful late game... you shut down vayne, and it doesn't matter if the game goes long enough.

I'd probably just take Braum into her.

I softly cry myself to sleep. That usually soothes the pain.

Easier than you might think actually.. Some of my best games have been against a cait and most of my worst games have been as her... Not even close to as bad as the Lucian era when it's all said and done.

Needing patience as an ADC main is due to every other person on the map coming to my lane to mess me up, and probably the last person im worried about is the enemy ADC if I'm being real.

I don't have a problem with her

They still have to be a good Caitlyn in order to understand how to use their kit and early game to their full advantage. If they don't Cait stills falls off.

Easy, i learn to play around her annoying parts and punish her mistakes. I guess i'd suck too if i spent all my times crying about her on boards spamming threads (not personally to you OP, but in general)

MunchCrunchLunch1 votes

really? how do you punish her I mean. I can't think of anyone that outdamages her in a duel. especially early game. she has more range she ends up landing more autos on you.

Draven. With his spinning axes giving him extra damage, I feel I can't duel him early game. Maybe I just don't understand Draven.

You don't, she has an aggressive support and it's gg, get pushed to your turrets and then she spams traps you can't even see since they're behind turret, step on one, lose half your health, and she doesn't take damage since she's out of turret range, it's so annoying to deal with, ever since this Vayne and Cait started becoming popular, I quit support and moved to mid lane

Dreadlocks1 votes

I see Cait in every game unless sm1 bans her.. shes actually starting to get banned in my games from ppl other than me which is nice.

Athenes Lulu1 votes

It's a mixed bag, though much more dependent on whether if they get jungler help.

  1. Pick/have an ADC that scales better than Cait does (yes there's plenty of choices, even Jhin goes well on this list)
  2. Force her to play passively so her purpose of "safe lane bully" is less useful
  3. Tower lives matter, Cait is very strong at busting those
  4. Do not step on her traps, and it's not that hard especially if anyone has mained botlane since season 4

the simple method of banning her every opportunity I get/ asking team to ban her

Raengoku1 votes

Jinx As an ADC main myself, we like to give em the ol' "Slappy Zappy" combo. We can beat out a Cait by playing more aggressive than they can. Hitting them with AA's between CS makes them think twice about farming, basically backs them into their tower, and then you can just poke away!

TahmKench Jinx Is a nasty bot lane that we have won with every time.

I ban her.

With my friend we play Vel'Koz/Nautilus botlanes, even in rankeds. You may be surprise how well this works, even at Platinum level games.

MunchCrunchLunch1 votes

lol. play in flex queue you boosted animals.

Borbland1 votes

No need to be salty because you don't know how to counter Caitlyn ^^

MunchCrunchLunch1 votes

lmao. I don't need voice comms to climb

Borbland1 votes

Me neither. Instead of having just a 55% winrate in solo and having to rely on the skill on 4 persons, I can do it with a friend and climb faster.

Actually, I could solo with Vel'Koz botlane, but it needs the peel of Nautilus and I cant force the random support to pick it. Else it would be as effective.

To be honest I've seen more ezreals than caits at this point.

It is a painful experience, i can tell you that much But if you play properly and don't tilt at the very sight of her, her traps mean jack shit to me

Oh man do I ban the shit out of Caitlyn every game I play.

Idk it's oppressive as all hell.

I remember back in the first half of season 4 when Caitlyn was actually oppressive. This Caitlyn is nothing by comparison.

I don't understand.

I mean, sure, she can be annoying sometimes. But so can most champs. It's annoying when raka heals someone you were going to kill, or when you get peeled off by Janna, it's annoying when Amumu or Malph get a perfect engage and you just get blown up, or when you screw up and get hit by a Lux or Morgana binding and sit in cc for a bit and then die.

Every good champ does annoying things. You just deal with it and beat them when they're weak, instead of beating your head against them when they're at their strongest. It's not like shes unbeatable or anything.

Reaper Soraka1 votes

Cait isn't as annoying as seeing Jhin every single game.

Can we have some variety yet, Riot?
