@Caitlyn mains, here's an idea that may or may not be good to make Caitlyn less frustrating.

She's a sniper, right? And she already has low attack speed. So how about we make it so that she has a longer wind-up for each auto at longer range instead of quick-scoping like a CoD montage channel? It makes sense for a sniper rifle to take longer to fire and be more powerful. She won't have autos as ridiculously powerful as Jhin, but this will make her have some counterplay since her kiting potential will be primarily in traps and her E rather than being able to orb-walk like every other ADC.

I feel like her weakness should be like Xerath's: long range harass, but once you get up close and personal they need to blow their tools or else they are at a heavy disadvantage.

This is just an idea and not intended to be a nerf, I want to know how the players would like this change or something like it. Please be civil because there is no need to be aggressive over brainstorming theoretical changes.

Ah, f*ck it. I'll put a poll, too.

If all else fails, we can welcome Singed ADC to the meta.

Jk, I respect your opinion. I just find it weird how only her ult enforces her sniper theme. I feel lile machine gun is more Twitch/Ashe. Machine guns by definition have medium range, low power, and very fast attack speeds.

She's more of a rifleman now than a sniper imo.

hey why did every other adc get buffed during marksmen but varus..... he actually got nerfed... cool ult does liek 50% less damage but give u 3 stacks of blitght over time ... not instant mind u ...kog used to be good then they nerfed him and no on euses him anymore

The hell? varus got buffed with the Item changed in the marksman update. Essence Reaver changes made him able to go CDR Legoslis Varus Caster Builds that you still see today.

Buffing a item is not Buffing him. He was the one adc who actually got nerfed. Gutted his ultimate damage by 50% but it applies 3 stacks of blight over like 1 second..... mind you it's not instant ......the cdr is meaningless since I would reach 30 40% regardless

Its an indirect buff. Varus doesn't need buffs for the sake of a buff. Thats dumb. Class updates are not a "who gets to bet buffed" contest.

khorney1 votes

He didn't needs buffs correct . Then he indirectly had gotten nerfed with fervor changing/nerfed then armor pent was changed to lethality and items containing them do not sync with him and with that he does consideredably less damage. So they then "buffed" him which was a total half ass. Who cares about his stupid passive that isn't reliable to begin with...... what would be a actual buff would be to add additional scaling to his w as well as the ap. But he was nerfed during the marksmen update while everyone else actually got buffed and was stronger. They gutted the damage on his ult by 60% but applies 3 stacks over time..... yah that's a trade off not.... it's not instant and you'll get 3 stacks before your Ultimate does like 100% of the time.... howhat exactly is that fair.

I dont think you know what nerf means either. how was Varus nerfed in tha Marksman update by your own definition of the term?

khorney1 votes

I'll explain. His ult did had done more damage to be replaced with reduced damage and what did he get .... nothing ...who cares about 3 blight stacks. Yes it sounds good in theory minus it's not instant ...... 3 stacks over duration so a pointless thing. Then his e was nerfed by 10% and it only applies to self healing. Then as I keep stressing was nerfed indirectly when they changed fervor or most people call it a nerf, from on hit to ad gain that's not alot and only applies from as. Then he was nerfed when they changed armor pent to lethality and with at killed his caster build......ohhh then they decided to buff him if thats what you want to call it.... who cares about his passive.... I sure don't because A it's not reliable B it's temporary C with the build I use it reach 2.0 plus so why do I care aboUT his passive.....
