I feel like since her rework the meta has shifted more and more in her favor and she just feels like she doesn't have much of a weak spot anymore.

The Buff to first blood Tower, Hurricane being good, and now the ability for the winning botlane to take Herald aswell just makes her overwhelming in my Opinion.

She used to have a really bad Mid Game, a really good early game and a really good Late. Now it feels to me as tho she has the best early Game (Actually just unfairly strong with Lulu, Nami or Janna), which she can then usually use to siege Towers and has an extremely strong Late. I dont feel like she has a clear weakness anymore.

I'd gladly hear other opinions on this topic but i personally am really sick of playing against her almost every game and feeling like my impact on the game is affected by being pushed into the tower the whole game and losing my tower early. I understand that i might just be playing suboptimally against her or more like, i know i am for sure but i still feel like i have a point.

Edit: It was pointed out to me shes getting nerfed. IM SORRY GUYS FALSE ALARM

Remember that shes still pretty useless mid game if she cant get ahead. She also doesnt handle falling behind it lane well, like it REALLY hurts her.

The recent game play thoughts post addressed her having no clear counter play, but their solution was to change how heads shots stack with hurricane which I don't think addresses her issues at all

Meddler posted today that she is getting a nerf next patch so u shouldnt worry too much as the proposed nerfs are huge so she will be out of meta definetely

Headshot no longer stacks multiple times per attack with Hurricane. Caitlyn's lacking in clear enough weaknesses and one she should have is lower single target DPS late game than most marksmen with similar builds. Hurricane's currently making it so her teamfight single target damage is higher than we suspect it should be however, at the same time also constricting her build paths. Testing a change as a result.
