Caitlyn is too safe

Beamish ·May 31, 2017·1 votes·437 views

Maybe i'm just salty and obviously caitlyn is a high tier champion but how has she not been nerfed yet ? She's been a good pick for as long as i remember playing. I'm not here to complain i just want to know what ye think. To me i think the reason shes so good is because of her E. It's like a second flash. If you're against a late game champ you just poke them and zone, while if you're against an early game champ like draven you just e back as soon as they go in chunk and they back off. Idk what do ye guys think could be done to her to make her more fair to play against?

Make it so you can see traps she places under your tower. It sucks that they're hidden because of pov. Your character in game would be able to see them, why can't you?

That's literally the only thing that's needs to be changed. Everything else can stay as is.

True , not sure how they would do it. Making them highlighted or something would look weird af. By now you should be expecting them to be hidden behind but it still messes with the pathing of your champion.

Thing is you still have to path carefully no matter what because there's no real way to tell if there's a trap under your tower or not.

Well here's why you probably consider Caitlyn on the 'too safe' part:

Her traps that most consider already enough "safety" as is
She has the longest attack range in the game
Anytime you get in the direct sights of her, she'll just dash back and head shot you for probably more damage then you would've even dealt to her.

Most ADCs are dead within seconds from one misposition play. This is not the case with Caitlyn.

HOWEVER, this is not exactly the problem with Caitlyn. The problem is that on top of her safety, she is being oppressive on the offensive side as well. This is especially due to her annoying tower sieges which she makes possible with her traps. I think the appropriate nerf would be to make her traps so that they are targetable with true sight. She's meant to be safe, but she shouldn't be able to make people position wherever she wants them to in order to ensure her safety at the same time.
