Why are the Caitlyn nerfs being changed away from her traps?

the weeaboo··5 votes·466 views

Seems like every time a change goes onto the PBE that basically everyone can agree is a healthy nerf, Rito decides to fuck it up and move the nerf onto something _that doesnt need it. _

Right now they are nerfing Cait Q instead of her traps.

Remember when they reverted the BORK ranged changes?

Rito just nerf her fuckign traps already they are oppressive as hell.

They are still nerfing Cait's traps. However, instead of targeting their CC duration, they switched focus to the Headshot bonus damage.

Nothing in there about Q. At all.

Everybody complains about Chogath R being OP and they nerf his E. Everybody complains Cait has too many traps and they nerf her Q. I honestly think they're trolling.

They reverted it with the newest PBE update, instead taking damage off her Q

Caitlyn's kit was entirely fun and healthy besides traps, so they gutted her AS and runans synergy instead of the traps and now they're coming for the traps, so soon she'll have nothing going for her besides her AA range with no AS. She will be Azir soon, mark my words.

Maybe everyone is wrong. Balance shouldn't be decided by what "everybody" thinks. It's a horrible idea.

On one hand, I agree.

On the other: Fuck those traps.

Caitlyn Yordle Snap Trap (W): Root time reverted from .9/1.05/1.2/1.35/1.5 seconds to 1.5 seconds at all ranks. Additional damage taken from Headshot (P) lowered from 30/70/110/150/190 to 10/55/100/145/190 They did hurt her early game damage

Because the proposed change would have absolutely gutted her.
