I think Caitlyn needs a buff

She has great siege, great defense and excellent carry potential late game but she has one, I would say fatal, flaw that I think Riot needs to address: her traps are too weak. I'm not saying they aren't useful, just that I think they could use a little buff to make her more viable. I think the invisible traps behind tower are fine (people need to stop complaining about them) and that they give her a free headshot that takes 1/3 of an enemy's life is an important aspect of her gameplay and identity. But I'd really like to see minions be able to get trapped! It would help her push in certain scenarios kind of. Would that make her too op? Maybe. But in the state she's in I'm willing to take that risk.

Is this a troll? Caitlyn's traps are the BEST part of her entire kit. Those things make or break a good Caitlyn.

Not only that, but your proposed "buff" is a nerf. Caitlyn has no problems waveclearing with Q in the earlygame and shiv lategame, so allowing minions to be trapped only denies Caitlyn being able to place traps where she wants, and cutting off a lane path.

Agreed. The tradeoff of slightly better pushing power would fully compensate for her not being able to lay traps anywhere like directly in front of enemy/ally towers where they're pretty much useless anyway. Give me those minion headshots!! If enough people ask for it maybe Riot will listen!

Ehrm I feel like she is already really strong, like almost op levels of strong.

Maybe you're challenger and just really good at the game? This is just a little buff that could make her more viable than she is.

Yeah because only good players play her... like myself. We basically have to play this weak champion like a god to get anything done. Minion headshots would help!! Please Riot!!!
