You see dear child. Caitlyn's traps are designed perfectly to allow the little feet and cloaks of the minions to slip right through the spikes. The cannon minions are a different story, they are too fat for the traps to close around them.. you see... As well as minions are naturally allergic to dairy products. puffs on pipe

Take care dear boy.

also the only reason for yordles to fall on them is the cupcake

Because Caitlyns traps are meant to be used as zoning tools and for sieging. That is the reason why they are visible (unlike most other traps), too. If minions would trigger them, they wouldn't be able to do what they are supposed to.

Traps like Jhins, Shacos, Teemos etc are meant for other purposes. They are for ambushes, securing fleeing paths, waveclear and stuff like that.

Just because they are traps doesn't mean they are meant to do all the same.

"Why aren't Cait traps not invisible?" "Everyone else's is"

Why can't Cait trap's be disabled by champions autoing them?

Everyone else's can.

Nidalee trap.

Can be disabled by autos. Where have you been for the past six months? Nid also can't have more than three traps out on the map at once (Cait should also have such a limit)

Uhh, I am pretty sure you can't directly auto a Nidalee trap. Unless you prove me wrong.

As of patch 7.2 (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-72-notes), Nidalee's traps are invisible, have 3 HP, and are disabled by control wards.

Damn, that sucks for Nidalee. Thanks for proving me wrong.

It doesn't suck that much, Nid's traps are basically useless. What sucked a lot more was losing the AA resets on R/Q/E/W and the increase on W CD before 16. Now if traps could do %max health like they used to they'd actually be punishing to step on.

Max of 3-5 traps vs unlimited. Plus they don't do much unless she's in range, so she can't just throw em in every bush/chokepoint and move on.

The pressure plates on her traps are tuned to ignore the weighlessness of the magical energy beings that minions are.

I dunno. I was just trying my best to make up some bullshit excuse.

Its a well known fact that Noc's lil wispy tail bit is highly magnetic... thats the part that gets trapped, by sticking to the pressure-plate...

Because the minions aren't feminists that's why.

she has a number limit, they don't do damage if she isn't around to auto you, they are visible and hard to miss unless they are in the tip of the bush you facecheck. her traps are for different stuff then most other traps man. it's like saying why doesn't Malphite Q let him dash to the target like Maokai can
