caitlyn meta again

for the past 2 years every time crit adcs are viable. caitlyn dominates the meta . but lets leave her as is how dare we play crit adcs that actually take time to scale and not chunk 1/2 your hp with 1 auto at an item breakpoint

caitlyn singlehandedly making Jinx tristana, twitch kog maw and a bunch others not viable in any decent elo. hell even her "counter" ashe cant even beat her anymore. I don't think lethality carries made those nearly as unviable because they didn't scale as well and hell they didn't even shit on you in lane half as hard. imagine if leblanc outscaled mid lane mages and out team fought them late game. that would be fun right? thats caitlyn of bot lane.

tristana has not been meta for an entire 2 seasons. because of caitlyn and riot knows that. twitch and jinx were meta for like a cpl weeks due to being overbuffed. but they don't realize the problem that caitlyn pretty much denies them the ability to farm or get anywhere before she does. and hell she outscales Jinx and tristana. like wtf is that logic?

Has Cait ever been out of any meta since she was released?

not really in solo Q she has been top 1-3 pick for over a year now. but back in season 5 she was okay pick. tristana was a pickable champion. Jinx was strong and probably needed a tone down. every adc was getting picked. kalista (was a little too strong too) kog maw was getting picked. twitch was getting picked. lucian was getting picked ezreal and graves as adc

the only adc that was not seeing much play was corki.

if caitlyn gets nerfed. every fucking crit adc will see even play. but they won't do it for some reason.

Caitlyn in my opinion is fine as is. Now hold on before you start writing anything, theres good reasoning behind why i think this. Firstly, Caitlyn is supposed to be an absolute lane bully. Although, shes a glass cannon, so if you get a gank on her at the right time, shell fall behind and it will be hard for her to come back. Another thing is, that if she does not get ahead, she starts to fall off a bit around after the 15 minute mark, which she doesnt really come back untill she gets a good amount of crit. Theres just a ton of ways that Caitlyn can easily be defeated.

Secondly, saying that Caitlyn makes champions unviable is a huge statement. In fact, in this patch, kogs winrate is 55%, Ashe's is about 50%, and Twitch HARD COUNTERS Caitlyn, and he stands at 55%, etc etc. (Source: http://champion.gg) She isnt pushing anyone out of the meta, she just requires a lot of knowledge to play around her. All ADCs are seeing more play lately, and better winrates after the last few patches. One of my favorite champions is actually Ashe, and ive been doing pretty well with her lately. Heck, ive even completely wrecked some Caitlyns.

So even though Caitlyn is frustrating to play against, she isnt unbalanced, she isnt pushing anyone out of the meta, etc. Caitlyns playrate as an ADC is only 4th place right now, Lucian is in second, and Ezreal is number one. So thats just my input.
