anyone else not like the cancerous 5 trap caitlyns when u try to siege?

Goodest Gamer··69 votes·5,139 views

theres no counterplay at that time and even when u blow one, she probably has more to come. she has many chances to headshot late game thats its kind of ridiculous. her early game is super oppressive as well but all i care about are her traps.

someone reminded me of the fact that she can trap u when you are getting revived by ga. thats not fun or interactive whatsoever.

TBH, if they want GA to be better, they should just make you CC immune for 1 or so seconds.

granted, GA itself isn't exactly fun or interactive

and why can't a champ be anti siege?

because cait is an adc. shes not sopposed to have cc huge range, and be anti siege while doing massive damage.

adc

what should adcs do

Goodest Gamer2 votes

ranged damage while havign some sort of self peel that doesnt stop all melees from approaching their own turret to defned or siege. the ability to not be cced after just getting out of ga due to cait w.

Then Riot should stoping making ADCs as 2 would be enough, one for each team. I think in the ADC update Riot made ot clear that ADC should exceed and different things and have different niches

It's also cancer that she's able to extend the duration of any CC she sees by placing traps under people that are already immobilized.

EndlessSorcerer20 votes

Anyone with CC can do that.

dangopee4 votes

No one has 3-5 charges always available to do that pretty much whenever they want. Particularly late game her traps are literally always available.

Yes but caitlyn's is supposed to be a trap, it's supposed to function as a zoning tool/something to surprise people when they walk into a bush, it doesn't feel right for it to have other uses as the former are already very strong, especially since it gives her a passive proc and can allow her to combo e+q+aa into it, allowing a ranged bully to have quite a big burst, which feels incredibly inappropriate.

"...she can trap u when you are getting revived by ga. thats not fun or interactive whatsoever." As can multiple champions. Not every item you have should lack counterplay.

so buying a ga vs caitlyn is stupid. yea that makes sense now.

And against any other champion that can place CC there. Jinx, Viktor, Ekko, etc.

Goodest Gamer1 votes

viktor doesnt get a free 50 percent aa damage buff on top of crit on top of huge range with a point and click w. its the fact that she has so many up that we are complaining. everyone else has cooldowns and cnt walk up and place that shit in the middle of teamfight but cait can just spam them and keep some more before and after teamfights

VentusDragoon5 votes

No, Viktor gets a 200% or MORE auto buff because he can E>Q>AA>E's second pop you.

And heck, Fizz can quite literally erase you the millisecond you revive with Playful/Trickster.

Fizz/Ekko/Brand/Zed/Malzahar/Morgana/Malphite/Talon/Akali/Rengar/Khazix... all pretty efficient ways to kill caitlyn. Only a small portion of the game is fought under towers. Please stop. You're not gonna get Caitlyn nerfed bc you whine about adc's like they're op when in reality in the current state of the meta they're just glorified supports unless they get 5 kills in the first 12 minutes.

Goodest Gamer2 votes

what state? im asking for her w to get reworked or her trap duration and capacity reduced. ur trying ur ass off to defend her that u wont even read the thread and the point of it correctly.

her w is too strong right now.

ShadowParker1 votes

Caitlin's w isn't problematic at all. It doesn't need to be reworked or nerfed. Yeah, it's effective late game, but you can definately play around it as they are on the ground.

Goodest Gamer2 votes

How exactly do u play around 5 traps in front of ur turret or their turret as a melee 40 minutes in. PLEASE tell me

ShadowParker2 votes

You walk around them?

Not too mention, if Caitlyn is busy doing something else, she won't be able to auto you.

Goodest Gamer2 votes

Walk around cait traps in front of turret? You know they cover the entire terrain right? It's impossible to walk around without stepping on them. I can't just flash in either or I'll die instantly . There is no solution for melees . Lower the amount back to 3 or reduce the hitbox of the traps

ShadowParker1 votes

Although she can cover a good amount of ground, to say they cover all of the lane is absurd. You can definately walk around or in between them.

Nerfing that part of her kit would be dumb. Did you just get destroyed by one recently and it's left you salty?

Goodest Gamer2 votes

I've yet to lose to an actually good cait. It's just every game that same bullshit happens when they either push or defend. Also I'm not going to risk the game and see if I can wedge my fucking character into a tiny ass path while everyone is alive .

VentusDragoon4 votes

Nocturne sees free attack speed.

Poop Jelly4 votes

That's usually only a problem for melees that want to engage. That's what Caitlyn does. Outside that she's extremely frail and her damage output isn't the best of all the ADCs. Mages and other ranged champions should be able to deal with her pretty easily. How you would fight against an Ezreal is how you should play against a Cait. Beside that one little dash, they have no real escape.

Goodest Gamer2 votes

lol? ez has multiple slows from his cancerous iceborn gauntlet spam and his e gets reset like every 3 seconds late making it impossible to catch a good ez.

falldown0105 votes

those caits are pretty rare, you dont see as much of them building that, so there's that

also what about ezreal with iceborn gaunlet, ? if you get caught, he kits you to death, so why should other adc's be allowed to do that cait is fine the way she is, her traps are ment as a defensive action, just like her net, and they work perfectly fine

if its stopping you from getting to her, then its doing its job just fine

Only Play Darius1 votes

So TLDR fuck melees

Poop Jelly2 votes

WHy would you even go there.... There are things melees are good for and there are things ranged champions are good for. I don't wanna go all lengthy to explain why Cait's kit the way it is but yeah she's definitely not one of the top concerns there are.

Engaging Melees are definitely in meta rite now. If anything, Cait & other ranged champions gotta watch their positioning and think about range advantage right now more than ever.

grug3 votes

The simplest solution would be to have the traps activate on creeps it would make a hell of a lot of fucking sense. No way in hell does anyone want a fucking adc to get free hits on them.

Should probably also make the traps have a primer delay.

Goodest Gamer3 votes

creeps activating it would fuck her laning phase over. how about if u could only put like 3 at turret but they had smaller hitbox? this would actually allow melees to do anyting when trying to seige

fuck caitlyn's laning phase as well as all adc's laning phase.

roitferret2 votes

Has anyone ever tried trapping a trapped person with Caitlyn? Aka, as they're trapped, throw another under them?

It has a small delay when you can't trigger other traps to avoid perma CC
