Caitlyn nerfs too harsh?

Like they want to completely remove the Runaans interection AND nerf her base attack speed. I just feel like those are two huge nerfs packed into one, and that its going to hurt her tremendously.

Riot has no choice but to give her a big nerf and then work from there. She's been extremely oppressive and strong for a long time. Her pure existence right now is basically the reason champions like Tristana, Vayne, and Jinx aren't as good as they can/should be

No i think its just rhe early game meta were in that makes them bad. Lee, cait, lucian, etc.

Those champs are bad and will stay bad even with cait being awful.

Lucian exists and hes already spammed more than caitlyn, and all hes getting is love taps.

She deserves both and probably still more. She can get over it.

They should probably stick with turning Headshot into an OnAttack modifier rather than an OnHit modifier and see what happens.

I thought it was an on atta k, as it increases her attack apeed a little when its stacked

I mean how she gets stacks of Headshot. Right now it is an OnHit mechanic, hence why the side-bolts from Hurricane stack it. If it were an OnAttack mechanic, then it stacks once per basic attack regardless of how many things Cait hits.

Nah. Attack speed early helps push the lane but she has Q for that so. Also makes her weak point mid game more noticeable.

Those nerfs are absurd yes, atleast i hope they get reverted and they just go with the runnans one.

Doubling her attack delay, what kind of bullshit nerf is that?

I'm a Cait main, but try to remain realistic about her. I'm assuming she's not going to be very good now, after a long, long run of dominance. They'll let her sit in shit tier for a while like they usually do. She'll be back next season. I'm ok with this. Xayah is absurdly fun anyways

AFilthyCaitMainMay 23, 20172 votes

Im loving the optimism! Also i dont like xayah personally, i think ber e is overtuned

FiddlesOnTheRoofMay 24, 20171 votes

I'm not saying she's overtuned or balanced. I don't know enough about this game to say. If I see 50% win rate on a champ, I'm happy. Regardless, I find her to be an absolute blast to play. With Cait going down, I wouldn't be shoced to see Xayah as high tier meta though, so she may be next in line for nerfs, along with Lucian. Should bring Jinx and Trist back into meta soon.

Typical, riot releases a skin for a good champion that they know people will buy because of her popularity, and then hits her with a huge nerf. What to expect tbh
