What Caitlyn needs to be relevant again.

Hey guys, Caitlyn main here (at least on my main account), and I want to go over some things that are keeping Caitlyn out of the meta and some solutions to them. I'm not suggesting anything for lane, since that was so toxic before, instead I'll focus on issues that keep her from playing the scaling game successfully like most crit ADC's.

The problem with Caitlyn is if she doesn't get ahead in lane she struggles to carry the game, not just because of her damage but her entire kit in general. She has good tower taking ability and good safety, but even then you could argue that champs like (both) and (safety) do those things as well as, or even better than her. Leaving her with practically no identity.

1. In team fights, she is one of the worst at forward movement and has next to no ability to effect the backline without putting herself in a very bad position. When a fight is being won, I often find myself lagging behind waiting for my teammates to finish the enemy off for me when I'm on Caitlyn cause she has no way to finish anyone off except for her extremely unreliable ult, and this is why she averages so little kills per game. When I'm playing (passive), (Jump) or even with his R I feel like I miss out on way less kills than I do with Caitlyn.

2. She has some of the slowest attack speed, which I think makes sense for a sniper, but it makes her the worst hyper carry at killing tanks, if she can even be called one at this point. Which forces her to stand back AAing them forever, while her team is taken out by the real hyper carry on the other team. If you combine these two issues you get a champion who riot seems to want to make into a late game champion, but can barely effect the front line or back line in a team fight, which is exactly why she's so bad right now.

I know Riot won't use any of my ideas, but I'll still point out what I think she could use to counteract these problems.

1. She could deal more damage to tanks with her head shots, with maybe some additional armor shred on them or something, so she can at least get through the front line.

2. Or they could change her Ult so that she can pick her target like she can now, remove the body blocking, but make it a skill shot in return. It would give her a way to finish off a fight or pressure the back line in a way that only a sniper can, and maybe even reset the CD on kills at max level so she can keep going if she doesn't miss, but I don't want it to be OP or anything. I'm not gonna get into the speed of the projectile to make it balanced and all that stuff, not my forte.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts on my favorite ADC and what's keeping her out of the meta.
