Caitlyn Traps Seriously Need to Disappear from Under Tower

LegitBacon66··20 votes·1,045 views

It is way too oppressive from here during laning phase especially when you can't stay under tower and defend.

UPDATE: Can't even walk into lane

UPDATE 2; Can't even defend base because of seige power

In a way I agree I think at least our own towers should be able to target them. >.o

Like how minions are hit by nid traps.

Better yet, let the traps draw agro of minions cause they love cupcakes o.o

They should expire faster if not in a bush. Having a conga line of traps isn't fun. Unless your playing Olaf.

then dont step on them... get zoned... it is what caitlyn does. oh there is always a way to get around them she can have only so many an they cant cover the entire area of the lane, and champs can dash /blink over them too play a champ who has that ability then its a non issue

wow so many different things to do ...

play a support who is tank as hell and tank the head shot just as the would tank the ace in hole for ya

All of your suggestions involve playing right into her hands. Waste your mobility, let her dish out free damage, stay zoned.

cait is bad vs champs with mobility and she has a weak mid game and a great late game

lucian can easily beat her...

Having a great early and late game isn't balanced. Plus her mid game is only weak compared to some ADCs, it's still fairly powerfily compared to the rest of the champions in the game.

But sure as hell no melee is gonna be able to fight her.

And what about the other adca? You just listed the two other elite ADCs. She fares rather well against other ADCs. Getting in a shot before everyone can does tends to do that.

I like how nid is listed twice lol.

Anyway, my point is, there's very little people can do to a caitlyn trapping them under their tower or turtling under her own. Her innate weakness is the weakness of almost all ADCs: "don't be caught out." But even then, she can just headshot the person coming at her and fash backward out of their attempt to hurt her. Sure, people can kill her, it's just a very torturous process to do so even when she messes up royally.

i get the traps can be annoying...

there are alot of annoying things all champs do

but to say there is nothing to be done about it is incorrect.

cait is best before the 1st back in lane then she has a slight fall of... then is behind mid game due to lack of pure attack speed and no ad/as steroid in her kit... the traps do help her damage out put... she is meant to be a long range champ and designed to use that as her advantage she is one of the best /if not the best adcs/champs for a siege/poke comp and she just like most adcs that use crit and autos is a late game monster

Yup caitlyn traps are heavily oppressive to face against. As they basically have no counterplay other then rotate to other lane since the traps are untargetable and do a 2nd root that allows Caitlyn to do a 1/3 of a tank's health. Honestly I am fine with nerfing caitlyn's traps and buffing her e or q or something to compensate to make her less oppressive to face against but makes her kit from being horrible.

I think a big part of the problem is how closely they can be placed to each other.

One trap under your tower isn't really an issue, but when there's 3-5 of the things there, completely blocking you...

siilentdeath1 votes

then u have to push caitlyn to her tower and be aggressive. you know the traps are gonna be thrown like this going forward. learn how to counter play instead of whining about it. should we ban mechanics on blitzcrank because the player base gets skilled with them? of course not make adjustments and be the one to dictate the pace. make cait use the traps as a defense. all im gonna say

You do realize she can just place a wall of traps if you push her to her tower and she has enough range to safely farm right? Also landing blitzcrank pulls and placing 5 traps under an enemy tower are completely different things and canNOT be justified as skill vs no skill.

^ Her traps are extremely toxic.

Asudurga1 votes

It doesn't matter how fed you get against her, the second she even pushes up to your lane under tower, nothing you can do. And it's pretty much gonna happen 100% of the time because you have to back for items, with her waveclear after just getting a item 3085 it's a guarantee.
