Will the new Control Ward disable Caitlyn traps?

Look, I know this is a lot to ask, but can we please have the new control ward disable or some other item do something to caitlyn traps? It would help a LOT when dealing with her sieging me under tower.

No. In terms of interactions with Teemo/Caitlyn/Shaco etc traps Control Wards function just like Pink Wards (so no effect on Caitlyn W).

Ok, so then we have an issue. I feel like Caitlyn sieging you under tower is, well, not really fun for either side. And having the traps as non-interactive units isn't fun either. So, like, what can we do about this? It is not fun, it is not interactive as a sort of minigame, and it just all round sucks in general as a mechanic.

Caitlyn has a counter now technically, since it looks like assassins will be coming back into the meta. Most of these champs don't even care about something blocking their path as they can just hop over or go around it. (Even kat can wall jump over small walls without help)

Caitlyn isn't countered nearly as most other adcs because of her e and partially her w

Terabyte Marine1 votes

True, but forcing her away just makes it easier to clear the traps, since she wants to auto you after you step on one.

Yeah, but it's not like a champion like draven, who will just die because of his lack of escape skills.

Wait so does the control ward disable teemo's ult or will it be a special case?

Pink wards don't disable Teemo's mushrooms.

But they do reveal them and the control wards also disable traps. So they will.

But . . . it says it disables traps in the description . . . And there's been videos of teemo traps being disabled . . .

Well this isn't Caitlyn's thread, so yea.

that is kinda core to her identity, disabling it with a simple 75g item would be the exact same problem they got rid of pink wards to solve. so no, terrible idea.

cough cough Teemo cough cough Evelynn cough cough Look many 75 G items disable champs. But it unfairly does disable some, but not others.

The Magyk1 votes

to be fair its the ONLY way to counter evelynn, as such its part of her play style to need to avoid pinks (she can still walk past trinket and sightstone wards) teemos passive is still an invisibility, his shrooms get spotted out but so what? they always have.

The issue is not that. The issue is that all of these champs that I named are easily countered by one 75 G item or one 0 G item item 3341/item 3364. Cait needs to be countered then too, especially because it is a trap and more importantly because Teemo's shroom identity is easily countered.

In what way are traps that are completely unable to be interacted with by the enemy team "core to [Caitlyn's] identity?"

The Magyk3 votes

caitlyn is the siege/counter siege adc. its what she does. sets up her traps and attacks or defends a tower.

dragon1xx2 votes

She sets up non-interactive traps that promote non-interactive play.

Attticus Finch1 votes

No where in that statement do traps that can't be affected by the enemy team at all come up.

or make stuff like Shaco's box can disable the trap, there, Shaco can now finally contribute to the team
