Lets talk about he current state of Caitlyn.

Hello, first of all im RexSaur, ive been a Caitlyn player for about ever since season 2 and shes my most played champ by far, got to diamond in multiple accs/seasons with her, i want to open a discussion about the current state of caitlyn ever since her recent rework.

http://na.op.gg/statistics/champion/

Caitlyn currently sits on the bottom 25 winrates in the game (also having the lowest winrate out of every adc) from having a 50~51% win rate pre rework, according to champion.gg cait players with over 125 games on her dont even have a 49% win rate currently, which is sad.

What happened?Riot simply ruined the pacing of her kit, They nerfed her early game power by a lot with all the changes (q harder to hit that does about the same damage, w 0 base damage and 45s cd at lvl 1, e less range, projectile speed and damage).

Thats fine and all, maybe they wanted her to be more of late game champion rather than a lane bully right?But then they also nerfed her scaling with items and gutted her base AS and completely removed the arpen passive from her passive, so she basically does negative damage to tanks and bruisers late game, oh and then they put a nail on the coffin they ALSO just recently nerfed her late game dps even further wit the passive change from last patch.

So why in the world should i even pick caitlyn right now?Lucian and mf can actually bully others while the likes of jinx scale much better and can kill towers and champs much faster than caitlyn could ever dream off.

The late game trap buffs simply werent nearly enough to make up for all the nerfs she recieved, caitlyn is simply a weak champion atm that has basically no viability left over, there isnt even a niche secnario where i would want a caitlyn on my team, its pretty much better to have any other adc in the game, her traps are conditional and even then they arent strong enough to carry her weak kit and numbers atm.

Hell, even having her whole kit power on the traps is a terrible thing as traps are visible and can be completely avoided.

TL DR : Caitlyn needs some buffs urgently, as it is shes one of the worst (if not THE worst) adc in the game atm, i honestly would take pre rework cait over this new one any day of the week, i know riot doesnt want to make her oppressive in lane so why not buff her scaling/mid game then?I would be fine with her current early game if she actually did damage to ppl with 1 or more armor item (s).
