Caitlyn is getting out of control lately.

Okay, i think most of us are in agreement that caitlyn is not fun to play against and is almost an instantly lost lane. She has as insanely good early game because of her free damage passive. She has an insanely good late game because of said passive and range She stomps lanes because of her range/damage/traps You can't punish her if she has even half a brain she can take any adc 3 levels above her because of her rotation

i mean, if anything can we make her laning phase not pure aids? Have minions set her traps off again. it is stupidly frustrating to deal with 6 traps under your turret, and if you step on one you get instant killed because she is gonna head shot/e/q/head shot/ult you. (note this is under tower at level 6)

She has insane burst, insane sustained damage, crazy safety, mobility and a near global ult. The only things she doesn't have is stealth and true damage (don't get any ideas rito)

My solutions?

  1. make minions set traps off/ have turrets destroy them/ MAKE THEM ATTACKABLE
  2. give her the kalista treatment. make her autos only do 80-90% of her ad as damage. that'll keep her damage relevant but not overwhelming.
  3. reduce the crit modifier on her head shot to not deal 450+ damage with 1 item in one auto that rngesus was on her side with.
  4. i would say drop the range on her, but thats kinda her gimmic so that wouldn't make any sense.

She's in the bottom with ezreal right now after all the collective nerfs. She's no longer able to scale for late game anymore.

I personally played support against a good number of Caitlyn players and I don't recall having such a hard time playing against her, nor did I see such huge advantages while supporting her. Everyone plays their champions slightly different from others, with exception to those who intentionally try to copy how others play it. Everyone will find someone else who they will struggle playing against, be it the player or the champion with a specific build in mind. If you were planning to play Vayne as your adc and got matched up against a Caitlyn, you were obviously counter picked and are at a disadvantage, but that doesn't guarantee you'll lose. I personally enjoy playing a snare, pull or stun champion to chain with her trap while supporting her, because it's effective. That doesn't mean she'll be sure to throwing a trap when I snare you though, because they may not be used to that play style.

im not saying do all those nerfs. im saying do one of them. How would making her traps not pure fucking cancer to deal with under turret gut her? -.-

The way you deal with her, is dont get under your turret, and pick someone that wants to skirmish. Draven, Lucian, Sivir (Spell shield).

Also if you had the turrets able to destroy her traps that make her very weak, minions walking over them to activate them? Now they are super weak. If you gave people the option of attacking the traps, I would see no use in even getting that skill. Her traps would be horrible.
