Cait nerf suggestion: Make traps have reduced cast range based on how many active traps there are

Glory to God··8 votes·316 views

I think most of us agree that Caitlyn 's traps are problematic from many points of view, whether be it that she chain CC'd you with her traps, or that she covered a whole lane with them with the lowest amount of risk and effort. Consider this:

  • For each trap currently active on the map, the next trap will have -150 cast range (This will mean that the first trap will still have 800 range, and the fifth trap will have 200 range)

Things that this will do:

  • Bad trap placement will be less forgiving

  • If Caitlyn decides to put a trap behind your tower so you can't see it, she will have less range on her next trap

  • Covering a whole lane with traps will be way more riskier, especially when a teamfight is about to happen
  • Chain CCing someone with traps will be, again, riskier if you haven't conserved your W stacks

If this ends up being too much of a nerf, give some of her attack speed back. No champion should feel bad for purchasing item 3006 and two zeal items and still feeling like a Soraka with a item 3124

SHE CAN ONLY PLACE 3 TRAPS UNLESS SHE HAS 3 OR MORE POINTS IN THE ABILITY

IT SCALES 3/3/4/4/5

MOST CAITS MAX Q 1ST AND E 2ND MEANING SHE WONT HAVE 3 POINTS IN W TIL LEVEL 10 IF SHE MAXES Q 1ST AND TAKE R AND E RESPECTFULLY

this is a fact ... it is how it scales

to downvote the fact means you are ignorant to the fact

Okay, here's another fact: The leg bones of a bat are so thin that no bat can walk.

I think everyone knows how Cait's W scales. So what? if we go with my idea, her third trap will only have 500 range. That's Lucian 's and Sivir 's AA range, making it much harder for Caitlyn to put down traps freely without being harassed.

Idk i'm not a fan of ability ranges constantly changing, especially when it's intended that you use that ability for comboing people. Ik caits kinda strong rn, but that mechanic would just feel kinda wonky.
