Long range Big damage strong early strong mid-game nightmare late game. Remove the item 3085 stack on her passive other champs like Jinx Jinx doesn't stack her Q passive AsheAshe doesn't stack her Q passive why does she have to stack with that insane damage and long range, traps cant be destroyed, long range on placing them too she is not a sniper she is a walking bazooka with throw-able land mines too. Where is the balance?

Oh, you mean nerf another quality champ brought to you by CertainlyT, father to such monstrosities as Graves jungle, Kalista, Yasuo, Thresh, and Zyra? CertainlyT, who's champions have been 100% OP cancer on release and got slammed with the nerf bat so hard their children will feel it. CertainlyT, who overloads kits with untested mechanics that somehow make it past balance, who is going to remake Warwick next year.

Set 5 traps before your tower, you can never leave tower while she takes it down, and zones 1 v 3 it has happened, no matter what these cait mains say I have seen it. Was a karma support. Let's overlook the traps already in the early levels ( which still are ridiculous ), but then around lategame we want to take the dragon. She just lays traps in our jungle right before reaching the dragon and literally zones us alone 1 v 3 with just traps and headshots. I wasted like 3 Mantra shields and snares and exhauts but no, heals back with just 2 headshots with runaan while my adc and other ally are one hit. No other adc does that. Where is her weakness? Jinx is terrible early and even late game jinx is easy pray while you can't even come close to cait. Cait mains can say whatever they want but truth is this champion is ridiculous right now.

Would you prefer her to instead fire 3 headshots at a time then? Because that's how she'll need to be compensated.

Caitlyn is op competitive champion so she needs nerf.Her ban rate and pick rate are problem.Why are crying salty adc mains?

I do think Cait is quite stupid right now. Her biggest problem is she takes away a lot of the options certain match-up have. A lot of ADCs can't get close, it's a bit silly when Lucian's Q doesn't outrade one headshot from Cait even at level one. It's arguably worse for the supports, being a Braum and Taric main, getting aggressive is almost never an option because of her net, walking up to her to start your CC will just get you shot. She's incredibly awkward to work around, and not fun to fight at all. I don't really know how to balance her, I think cutting her AA range just a bit would be helpful, so that ADCs without gap closers don't have to take too many potshots in lane that they can't block without their support to help them.

Ashe is stronger than caitlyn right now btw.

Caitly winrate is under 50% right now actually, she absolutely dont need nerfs you should just learn how to play vs her.

Caitlyn's real problem is her traps. It's way too punishing for players to step on and inexplicably gives her way too much free damage that I feel like should be on her net as a reward for using it to kite.

Who was the genius that allowed her to set more than 3 traps? Was it the same person who allowed Heim to have 3 turrets at level 1?

Nerf Cait, Jhin, Ashe and Sivir. 4 op adc's.

Meanwhile Caitlyn 60& p/b rate at EU LCS and Riot nerfs Azir again Azir only 40% p/b rate.

i dont get why people are bitching about cait's range when there is Jihn who actually can out range all adcs in the game, has ridiculous amount of damage , has a slow , a trap and and an ult that out ranges all adcs. every champ has a strength and weakness. cait can down right dominate a game from early but the way you counter that is pressure her early get her behind in farm and kills. gank. go all in on her she. cait is useless from behind. now for an adc like ashe who even you shut out in lane is still usefull due to her kit having her ult , her volley for aoe slows, perma slows on autos and her e to provide vision. there are team comps and champ selection for a reason , you get to decided what you wanna play against what the enemy has picked, unless your doing blind mode, thats just a free for all. but just as if you see cait 1st pick, you typically can counter with ashe, sivir, jinx as an adc, or vayne if youre feeling froggy, and understand as a vayne you arent gonna win lane, if you get out of lane with just being down a few cs you are ahead in the long run cuz late game vayne will out scale and shine a cait in team fights. jinx is good vs cait cuz of her pushing potential and if you get a hard engage support, blitz, leona, braum ect you can out trade cait in lane in an all in fight. if you stand back and play scared and allow cait to zone and poke you (which she is designed to do) you will be in the mindset that cait is op.

I just want more trap interaction/fewer traps ( walls of traps are pretty damn OP verse some team comps) and an overall buff to other ADC that don't see as much play. Cait is safe with High damage that should be a good principle to apply to many other ADC and in some cases they do.

She is a poke queen. If you let her poke you, You will Loose.

Get very engagy champs, like a Jinx Blitzcrank combo, and Cait will be screwed.
