Caitlyn's "bonus" head shots should not count towards the passive head shots

JavelinJoe·Sep 13, 2016·4 votes·369 views

Procs from her net and traps should not count towards the passive 8 shots for a head shot. They should be considered either using the passive and resetting the count back to 0, or just not count towards it. Being able to deal 3 head shots consecutively is really too strong.

Edit: Just for clarity, this would be aimed more to prevent her from getting 6 stacks of Headshot from 2 Headshot autos caused by traps and her E. It can still be done by using the combo with the 8 stack auto landing first then getting the other 2 from traps and her E.

So basically you want her kit to be completely gutted?

How so? All I want is to limit the amount of free damage she can output in 3 autos.

because that is her basic training pattern and a lot of what gives her a good early game

She has enough as is.

Longest AA range in the game at early levels (Jinx and Tristana do out range her eventually but Jinx needs her rockets which are slow and cost mana and Tristana needs levels to do so)
One of the better passives for an ADC
An escape on her E
5 traps for hard CC which can cut off an entire lane
Q penetrates through minions and champions with a good AOE and long range
E slows the target hit
getting trapped or hit with the net doubles her attack range for Headshot
2 second immobilization on traps
traps increase Headshot's damage even more (30 / 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 (+ 70% AD))
traps last for 90 seconds regardless of where they are placed and are small enough to be hidden fully behind structures like towers

For someone with such a safe kit to be able to 100-0 an enemy pre level 6 with 3 autos and a net is way to powerful for just an early game advantage in my opinion.

while i agree, it doesnt really make much of a difference since she can charge the headshot before the trade and then go in and still get 3 of them off.
