Meanwhile Lucian Ashe synergies with item 3153 item 3071 + fervor are perfectly fine.

Lmao.

Yes, there is no problem with lucian and ashe being able to fully stack BC in 2/1 abilities and proc botrk multiple times per AA.

The nerf is stupid as hell, because like i cited even more champs abuse other items way harder, but hey since its caitlyn lets just completely remove it why not?

you're posting in the wrong section

last time i checked meddler still read his thread until 1 day after he posted it

if you find caitlyn's nerf stupid then get to his thread and post here, this nerf is hardly a nerf considering that caitlyn synergy with runan is only annoying in lane where she rushes it and gets passive faster by clearing minions

Cutting her dps with passive by roughly half "hardly a nerf".

Caitlyn wasant good at all before runnans was in the game, in fact she was trash tier so thats why they even reworked her in the first place because she had no purpose on the game.

i don't know what you can't understand

she won't generate more stacks with runan anymore and in teamfight you rarely hit more than 1 target due to runan, it can happen but not often

and i know this because i also played caitlyn a lot of time

so yes, this is a nerf for her late laning phase

Its a nerf to every point in the game after you get 3k gold because the item was by far the best zeal item for her and it actually gave her a mid game.

Now shes going to win lane by 20 cs and then not exist in the game until 4+ items, where she just gets dpsed by other adcs anyway.

But yeah its barely going to have an impact you're right xd, if they atleast un gutted her base AS then i wouldnt mind this as much, but runnans is just necessary for her to function with her current base stats.

cait isn't supposed to have a mid game

i'm sorry but if you relied on attacking a champion with minions to win a 2v2 instead of putting a trap underneath someone cc'ed + Q that applies full damage to trapped champions to burst them

then you're bad

they gutted her base AS and made her passive giving her 10% more total attack speed from items you don't know your champion lmfao

YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR CHAMPION ROFL

You're the one who doesnt know it.

She scales 10% WORSE with attack speed, not better, and its even more than that due to her awful base AS.

they gave her 10% bonus attack speed AT lvl 1 so her lvl 1 AS isnt 0.5 and you can actually hit ppl in lane (also the same reason she gets a lot of AS p/lvl).

Atleast look up stuff properly before typing.

Ahristocats3 votes

wiki worded it poorly but now i looked at the patch notes you were right

anyway it doesn't change anything, the nerf is great in the early part of mid game and won't change anything for teamfighting

Penns1 votes

It scales with range tho so Im pretty sure u should be hitting people with it quite a lot unless they have no frontline.

Ahristocats1 votes

what scales with range?

Penns1 votes

Hurricane. So its already pretty good with her base range and if you get a trap/net headshot, then... https://i.gyazo.com/6cab01e8768f3b61c1feee0994c041b3.gif and https://i.gyazo.com/b336efa07be3f886f490a15dd50b9231.gif for example.

Ahristocats2 votes

i don't think you're understanding the nerf

this won't change what will change is her passive generating more stacks with runan

Penns3 votes

I didnt actually know what changes she gets, I was just saying Runaans is preetty goood with her range cause you said you rarely hit more than 1 target in teamfights.

Ahristocats1 votes

yes, she rarely hits more than 1 target in teamfights while trying to generate stacks

what you posted above doesn't generate stacks, it consumes them

Penns1 votes

Pretty sure the runaans bolts generated stacks tho if you didnt already have a headshot ready. If u look at the first gif, she didnt have it ready but after hitting 2 Hurricane bolts she did.

I had no clue it was possible... good thing they nerf her than.

Pointing out one fire doesn't excuse ignorance of the other.

Caitlyn outscales most ADs and of the maybe 3 that she doesn't (Twitch, Kogmaw and Vayne), Caitlyn has the best lane phase and her lane phase is widely considered to be the best of any ad in the game, even over lane bullies like Lucian and Draven. The nerfs are needed and have been needed since the marksman update it's just only now that she's really showing her prominence over other ads after a long time of slight nerfs to a wide array of ads.

The fact that this cancer champions traps cannot be destroyed/disarmed AND placed under enemy turrets, is stupid as hell,

So glad we reached an understanding on this.

Caitlyn has the wrong sort of power and is being nerfed, but will likely be buffed soon afterwards

Eh, fixed.

Hey man, you're not the only one who wants Bork nerfs.

Sahn Uzal1 votes

This ain't about ''who has the best synergy with items'' tho. This is because Caitlyn being too strong and having her power reduced because of it.

Lucian has 35% pick rate with 53% win rate.

Lucian has fking better stats than caitlyn atm, Lucian IS STRONGER than cait atm.

Ahristocats3 votes

lucian has 50.5% win rate and 39% pick rate aright now

cait has 51.5% win rate and 33% pick rate

http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/caitlyn/platinum

i don't think you have A SINGLE CLUE of botlane balance right now cait is more busted, and deserves to be nerfed

lucian is also getting nerfed as his ult won't deal 400% bonus damage to minions, and his E will cost mana at all ranks

Salron1 votes

Lucian's usage of Bork isn't nearly as abusive of Cait's passive interacting with Runaan's

GankedByWindows1 votes

Its getting nerfed not necessarily because of the synergy, but because it covers one of her intended weaknesses. She is supposed to have strong single target damage, but weak multitarget damage. Hurricane allows her to have both.

Violent Hunter1 votes

Champions are suppose to have strengths and weaknesses. The synergy with hurricane is giving her an unintended strength that she should not have.
