Caitlyn Nerfs for all the wrong reasons.

I'm talking about Caitlyn, Lets look back for a second...

-Base attack speed lowered from 0.568 to 0.521 -Attack Delay changed from 0.1 to 0.2 -Headshot no longer stacks multiple times per attack with Hurricane. -Attack speed per level growth reduced form 4% to 2%

So the problem with caitlyn was never her attack speed. Never. It was her lane bullying presence! :O (Gasp no way!) Yeah, hard to believe right? Well the thing is this still makes the first 10 minutes of the game a stomp in lane while she gets ripped apart late game. So because of this we even had to resort to things like specialized runes and masteries to make up for nerfs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Caitlynmains/comments/6p88y8/runesmasteries_regarding_caitlyn_with_pros/

We over at /r/caitlynmains have been saying for weeks, reduce her trap damage early game not some nerf like: _-Yordle Snap Trap (W) trap root time lowered from 1.5 seconds at all ranks to .9/1.05/1.2/1.35/1.5 seconds. _ because shes going to still get the trap off and it WILL HURT.
So, for the love of god, show this to the balance team and let them do an AMA on https://www.reddit.com/r/Caitlynmains/

From people who have 400k points on catlyn and the likes, they have more of an idea of what to do than this "Balance" team

Sorry for being so upfront, but this has gone too far.

I thought her problem was the fact she can place traps in ridiculous range with no animation.
