You know what tilts me the most about laning against Cait?

It's not the fact that she posesses a high range and a relativel high safety due to that and her defensive tools.

It's the fact that she has to trade absolutely nothing for it and also doesn't have to work for it.

Sure, Jinx's rockets have a massive range, but if she only uses them she's going to run out of mana pretty quick, and unless Muramana Jinx becomes a thing... yeah, not gonna be a problem.

Kog'Maw can unleash devastating long range, but his longest move, his ult, can be dodged, and he also only has a teeny tiny slow as a defense in his kit, making him dangerous, but also possible to deal with.

Jhin has to play around his ammo system, and also his long range moves dont exactly do much unless you have already brought your enemy low by trading them normally (and even then his ult can be dodged), or if you plan to get close to them (speak Trap->W-> walk up to them).

But Cait? Massive range, extreme safety and all for... nothing. She lacks engaging mechanics as well as an incentive to actually WORK for her bonuses, she just gets it for free. Every champion has to work to display their strenghts, except Caitlyn who just gets a fancy rifle from her rich parents... now that I think about her lore, this unfair privilege makes some sense. It still feels horrid to play against tho...
