Riot, we want Caitlyn back!
Hello Caitlyn mains!
As you all know riot has ruined Caitlyn.
I am here to talk about how we can get her back and, if you are not a Caitlyn main, inform you why what they did was wrong.

1. What we can do
I need your help Caitlyn mains! If we want Caitlyn to be playable again we need to get Riots attention and I tell you how we can get this:
- Upvote all the threads about Caitlyns gutting
- Upvote / Downvote the comments on these threads
- Comment these threads
- Create your own threads / videos etc. about this problem
- Stop play Caitlyn
I know stopping to play Caitlyn seems counter intuitive but think about it, if we all were to stop playing Caitlyn and she had a playrate of 0%, don't you think Riot would understand we do not accept this!
2. Removed Machanics
So Riot has removed 4 mechanics, including:
- Headshotting while flying back in your e
- Cancelling headshots with other headshots
- When cancelling a passive headshot with another passive headshots you would aquire the ability to do 2 quick autoattacks. If the first one is a headshot you will do 4 headshots in a row
However they only mentioned two.... I am really mad [zombie-brand-clap]
3. What I think the problem is about her current state
All of these mechanics were available since the Caitlyn rework and used by pros (except the last) for years.
With these mechanics removed the most important Caitlyn combo of trapping a cc'd target and then e headshot autoattack cancelling twice. Apart from that nearly half of the caitlyn combo's and mechanics were removed.
You practiced these combos for hours, too, havent you?
With half of Caitlyns combos removed her skill expression is just next to zero now!
So basically all of the mains will stop playing her and nobody will pick her up.
Also what I find outragous about how Riot has treated Caitlyn is that when Riven players were using unintened mechics they declared them as intended and did nothing about it. That is just plain unfair!
As for me I won't play League until her skill-expression is back to 10.1.
Thank you for your attention!
Edit:
I think I kind of complained about the wrong things. What is bugging me is not that she is too weak now or something. I just think it is a pity that Riot removed those mechanics and not gave Caitlyn new ones :(
