Caitlyn and Tristina should have their damages nerfed

Their range, escapes, and peel offer far too much safety for how much damage they can deliver from a distance. It is not fair for you to be nerfing assassins that have to get in close while these two can do just the same job of deleting thanks to Infinity Edge and all the armor penetrations + crits that your OP items have to offer.

You mean the items? Because that's what buffed them so much: the ADC item buffs.

The items kind of need some nerfs.

But Caitlyn doesn't need a kit nerf. She is a lane bully I guess but late game she lacks raw DPS/burst. Tristana is a product of all of her core items being buffed(IE, BOTRK) with the ADC's that beat her early/mid game's items all simultaneously getting nerfed(BT mostly).

I don't feel like Caitlyn is over-powered, but I do feel like she hard-counters too many ADC during lane. I can name a handful of ADC who are essentially worthless against Caitlyn. I don't like the fact that if I play Graves against any mediocre Caitlyn I can't even touch her, because in addition to having great range, she also has an escape that counters my dash. I feel like there should be some opportunity for me to attack her or at least trade with her. Maybe adding a casting time to her escape would fix this.
