Why do people feel cait needs a nerf?

caits stats according to u.gg current patch: plat+ WR 51.01% Pick 26.6% Ban 22.0% diamond+ WR 49.94% Pick 24.8% Ban 19.7% masters+ WR 44.89% Pick 17.6% Ban 9.7%

caits stats according to u.gg 9.24patch: plat+ WR 50.75% Pick 27.3% Ban 22.3% diamond+ WR 50.79% Pick 26.5% Ban 21.1% masters+ WR 48.26% Pick 18.9% Ban 9.1%

looking at that I have to say its more of a low elo problem as when people get better (higher elo) she is getting worse. She has less win rate, pick, and ban rate as you go up in each elo on the current patch. She only gain .04% win rate on the 9.24 patch between plat+ and diamond+. And if your suggesting to nerf a champion that gets worse the higher elo you go that has not been done before without the pro play abuse, which is not the case here since she has not been in worlds(7 games total). So why do people feel cait needs a nerf? I don't see it based on the stats of the champion.

item 3095

High range, dash, conditional hard cc which synergize with most of current supports and the cherry on top is stormrazor slow.

item 3095 needs to be nerfed, not Caitlyn. If you nerf her, then she becomes dependent on a broken item. Except other champions will move forward and continue to abuse it. Then Riot will nerf the item, leaving Caitlyn, who was nerfed to depend on the item, in a shit state. So no, Caitlyn does not need a nerf, as she was stable and doing perfectly fine until Stormrazor became an abuse case.

I just figured it was the empowered auto attack, into net, into empowered auto attack for huge chunks of your health pool.

Early Game champs are not supposed to have good late game and good mid game esp, if they are behind

If you are behind as a Lucian , it's literally 4 vs 5. Same goes for Jhin or Draven. You feel punished for not snowballing, But Cait, who has the strongest early game, doesnt have that sort of punishment. Here bad mid game was a weakness in the past but Storm razor into Berserker and RPC is powerful enough not to feel weak in the mid game

She gets instead rewarded with having an incredibly good late game for being a lane bully. I don't think the dmg or the items are the problem. S Just nerf her Life regen , so bad Caitlyn players get punished for taking bad Trades and nerf her Armor per Level and Base Hp.

You either need not nerf around Dmg if she is supposed to be an All rounder or you need to give a more clear cut weakness

The Storm razor nerf will hit other champs like Kai'sa, Tristana and Jhin even harder
