Caitlyn needs some sort of a buff

I've been playing Caitlyn for a bit now and she feels lack luster. With her starting win rate at 47%, which then goes up to 51% with 200+ games play feels very pathetic.

Edit: The information was taken from champion.gg

  • Her damage seems lack luster early.
  • Her Q damage falls off just by being hit by minions, like a Zed Q but worse 'cause it also costs mana.
  • I don't see any use for traps except for just spamming them in lane. Plus I'm curious on how people even manage to step on them.
  • Her ult, sure it has good early damage but anyone can block it and once you hit late game, the ult damage seems... lackluster.
  • This is kind of with every ADC and depends on the team comp and your team in general, but she gets near (if not completely) one shotted by some champions, Pantheon Gangplank Annie Shaco Sona Vayne and so on...

I may be bad and I am a B2 who refuses to climb whatsoever due to how I'd have to play the same roster of champs I'm good at just to be assumed "good." But I'd like to hear how Caitlyn is good and if I'm bad, I want to know what I'm doing wrong that makes me bad.

You don't see the point of traps?

I find Caitlyn as one of most broken adc in game. She has range, damage, poke, waveclear, cc, and escapes.

I dont think she needs ANY kind of buffs. I say this as someone who plays her often.

It feels like I do absolutely no damage early. And because shes balanced around what her early game is supposed to be, her dps is meh.

Shes getting outpoked like hell with all these mage supports, and hard engage support meta doesnt help either.

Caitlyn has been my favorite and most played champ for like the past 4 years. I have 477k Mastery points on her xd it would be a ton more if the system took into account matches played before the system was brought into place!

HOWEVER i digress. Tbh i don't actually feel Caitlyn is in a bad spot. But from my understanding is that the masses feel she is actually weak. I despise the whole ITS ALL ABOUT TRAPS gameplay. They took what was considered her most useless ability and made it like it is today. Her late game is what i consider to be one of the bests. Despite what all these people may say. I always win lane, unless im vs Blitz/Thresh becuz hehexd cancer op. Or get ganked.

Cait is harder to play correctly than most might think... But hey i will never say no to buffs :d

I think your post is actually ironic. Becuase for one thing https://youtu.be/TMeJpUpmZXw this video from 2 weeks ago mentioned caitlyn as a champ that needs a buff.

Funny enough he did say as well that Tryndamere, Yi, Victor and Lucian needed buffs and HEY WHAT DO YOU KNOW. They were buffed. SO cait might get buffed in the future too

I hope not. I hate when that champ is relevant. Just like any other auto-win-lane champs Pantheon Leblanc Renekton

Bitch can just auto harass when you're farming your fucking melee creeps under tower. God forbid she actually knows how to use her traps
