Lets just get this out of the way so theres no argument: riot is nerfing caitlyn after the skin release. Gaurunteed.
Anyway, her abilities are actually fun to use and i think the cancerous thing with her is the headshots. Thoughts?
Asayake 5150glow2 votes650 range is the problem, Riot's admitted that they aren't making Caitlyn the sniper she is in her lore, so why does she still have such high range?
AFilthyCaitMain1 votesTheyre nerfing her interaction with Runaans and Headshot and nerfing some base stats
HalcyonDweller1 votesMaybe they could deal a little bit less damage, or penetrate bonus armor, or something like that?
I would shy away from nerfing it too heavily though, because it is a very important part of her playstyle that also ties her kit together.
I personally have more of a problem with the lack of agency her traps allow you. However this solution might reduce that problem indirectly by nerfing the free harass she gets from headshots with traps.
Rewt1 votesI just hate getting hit with a Headshot that does 600 damage and when I look she has 0 penetration and my armor is saying it reduced damage dealt by 50%............ This is a passive..... riot pls ffs
HalcyonDweller1 votesI agree that the damage from her headshots is quite strong, but I'm not sure it's that strong. For that to work Caitlyn would need at least several items and you would have to be behind in levels. Even then it seems impossible. That seems a bit excessive, are you sure you aren't exaggerating?
Rewt1 votessadly im not exaggerating. She can do that kind of damage at 5 items. even when you have enough armor to reduce damage taken by 50% (which is like 80 armor btw)
HalcyonDweller1 votesThose numbers are too insane to take at face value. I'm going to have to see video proof to believe you on that one.
Doctor Jarvis1 votesWell let's do some math. Lets give Caitlyn level 16 and 5 items: 
. That's 150 AD, plus 8 from runes, plus 85 base for a total of 243 AD. She has 70% crit chance with a 50% crit modifier, making her headshots deal 170% bonus damage. This deals 658 damage if it doesn't crit. If it DOES crit it deals 1974 damage. If you have 100 armor it "only" deals 987 damage

doodlebob6661 votesalready on pbe, runanns doesn't interact with head shots, and lower base attack speed
Frightning1 votesI actually agree, they do too much damage for how easily and frequently you can get them. Also, I don't like that they keep hitting her base AS, her AS scaling is really shitty now because of it, and it's not really solving the problem. I like the added damage on headshot against trapped targets, that actually rewards smart Caitlyn play. It's the baseline damage of headshot I want to see drop a bit (maybe 20-25% of current damage, but buff her base AS back to 0.625).
