a message to the boards From a little caitlyn player:

I'm not a Caitlyn main, i'm a support main primary and when i end up playing adc i prefer playing Mordekaiser because i'm better at playing tanky melees than squishy ranged carries

But when i have to play a real adc for my team, I play jhin/Cait as not only i'm good on them but i love the sniping theme

My message is the following: Caitlyn does not need buffs the boards recently have gone on a mission to buff Caitlyn Their argument? "46% win rate" "she loses lane against vayne when she's a lane bully"

let me tell you why as a little caitlyn player i do not think she needs buffs

First of all: Caitlyn is not a lane bully i'm sorry for Caitlyn mains that play her since years and were used to bully people, but a lane bully that scaled into late game was unbalanceable Riot chose to nerf her laning phase throughout season 7 and at the end reduced trap duration from 90 to 30/40/50/60/70 to make sure that she can't deny adcs so hard in early game anymore. But in exchange, they buffed her late game in the last patch she got changed. Trap damage got increased and headshot procs on towers now allows her to siege so well with traps, long range, and headshots on towers

When i play Cait i just farm The reason i play Cait over other adcs is because SHE CAN'T DIE in lane she's really safe unless you fuck up, 650 range, a dash tied to a slow, and traps if you use them well

Later in the game you scale, get objectives, siege

and you can actually assassinate someone with a net/trap animation cancelling because it will proc headshot that can crit with IE

To be fair I just hate Caitlyn ult, it's so useless i almost never use it Playing Caitlyn feels like i'm playing a champion without ult, at one point i would like Riot to nerf Cait somewhere, and make caitlyn not revealing herself when she ults, so the target would still have an indicator of being ultying, but his team doesn't see from where the bullet will be shot it feels so wrong for a sniper to reveal himself when shooting from a long distance

but that's aside of the discussion the reason caitlyn has 46% win rate:

and soon in next patch

those adcs are just so busted that you don't ever find a reason to play Caitlyn, or Ashe Why play Cait when you can pick ezreal, be relevant throughout the entire game, being safe like cait, but also getting so much gold from klepto and have 3 items at 15 min?

Caitlyn has a low win rate because other adcs are broken But Caitlyn herself isn't weak, when you play against a non-broken adc you don't get bullshited by top/mid/jungle after you have few items because Cait is still strong and deal damage, and has her own strength that is area control

I wrote this thread, because i don't want Cait to get the Jinx treatment (who has right now 50% win rate and is getting a HUGE HUGE buff in next patch) we need to stop powercreeping this game, nerf the ad carries that are strong, don't buff cait or jinx for no reasons

and finally: caitlyn has been picked against varus in lck while ezreal kog kalista were banned, proving once more my point the overpowered adcs need nerfs
