Caitlyn is the worst ADC right now?

I really don't like having caitlyn on my team, she requires soo much and she doesn't get high rewards for it. Her passive literally does no damage.... Her Q damage isn't even high by how small her width and long cast time is. Her W are goods I can't say anything about it. Her E is ok for an escape tool. Her R is fine the way it is. I feel her auto attack animation feels like is slower than the old caitlyn? Cuz I miss alot of cs because I'm used to the old Caitlyn. I'm assuming that Jhin is going to replace her just by the look of his skill ranges.

Kog'maw is the worst ADC right now Sivir is also close by Kog. Caitlyn isn't great, but she isn't garbage tier. Abuse her early game range with her new w and e buffs. Work with a poke support (Nami/Bard work great with her) and you should do fine.

Every champion out damage caitlyn in a trades.

That's why you don't trade with them. You simply stay out of their range and punish them every time they try to CS or do anything really. Cait will never win in a 2v2 damage trade off, and you shouldn't be playing her like that. Use your traps and range to zone them. Her weak point is mid game when ADCs tend to go into the dueling stage, but a good team comp can switch the natural duel phase to more of a siege phase like we saw in s4/5

She's stupid strong if she gets 4 items and a LDR.

However all the strong ADCs right now come online with just 2 items.

I don't think she's that bad honestly - she's a lane bully and if you don't take advantage of that you're essentially throwing half of her kit away.

Kog and sivir are (in my opinion) the worst, as first off, they are never used. And since the rework for all the marksmen, they kinda became sucky.

Kog is bad because Riot is being flagrantly hypocritical about their balance philosophy and are aiming to balance him around LCS play only. It sounds like Repertoire disagrees with that direction on Koggy and is trying to get him balanced for normal play.

Sivir is bad because she scales best off raw AD and armor pen, both of which got kicked in the balls with the Marksmen pass. If Riot wants her to be competitive, they're probably going to need to give her abilities some form of Crit scaling. Instead of making her bounces and Q do more damage on a Crit proc, I think it would be neat if Crits made bounces (or her Q) deal full damage instead of reduced to secondary targets.

Cait is picked pretty regularly, but she could probably use a bit of tweaking still. She also got hurt by the lower raw AD levels.

caitlyn is a poke adc, not a trade adc you must poke till they recall,if you are trading you are the bad player, stop blaming the champion

Or when you play an AP poke /harass support and your Cait (adc LANE BULLY) just afk tunnel vision farms all lane phase, literally not even participating in trades effectively creating a 1 v 2 bot lane. ADC is not interacting with the lane, just last hitting and avoiding enemy poke. Support is zoning for Cait, landing snares/stuns/knock ups and generally doing it all for nothing as every opportunity created is wasted since Cait just last hit a caster creep and is standing still ready to last hit another creep.

Don't play Cait if you're a coward sissy and would rather farmville then play the game. It drives me insane trying to support invilids that can't grasp the most basic concept of their champs role.

Where are you finding ability info for Jhin??

StellafreyjaJan 11, 20161 votes

Cait's style is poking and sieging.

In lane, because of her 650 range, she can easy punish shorter ranged champions as they get close to CS. If you don't harass often with Cait, you're not playing her right. You spread traps throughout lane so you can land a headshot on the enemy ADC or Support. Cait's goal is to force the enemy out of lane. She can't trade. Always attack from max range.

When sieging, it's always good to drop traps to block the lane. Enemies won't be able to get near the tower or they'll be forced to take a Headshot (which hurts against squishies late game) at the very least or getting picked at the worst because of the root.

Auto attack agro minions of your enemie. Soo you might poke them with 1 basic attack and receive like 6 bullets from the caster minion.

Tristana is the worst ADC right now. She can't do crap late game except taking down turrets. Look at champion.gg, she's the worst right now aside from Urgot. I'd rather play Urgot than this trash champion. They need to increase her attack speed per level to become viable again.

Question: How does Tristana sucks right now? Answer: Her attack speed per level got dropped dramatically (+4.0% down to +1.5%), her passive range got nerfed (9 down to 7 per level). Her AD growth dropped down too but so is all the ADCs. BUT, infinity edge got nerfed by 15 AD, Phantom dancer got nerfed by 10% attack speed, and Tristana's Q got nerfed down to 5 puny seconds. In conclusion, late game Tristana is trash in team fight. Just backdoor if the enemy team is not aware enough of the mini map, but even then, Trist is not known for backdooring because she has no defense
