Cait

Will cait ever be de-nerfed with decent wave clear, preferably by giving her back head shots on all 3 runnann's bolts? item 3085 (I will never understand why she was hit so hard with the nerf hammer, given she's only hit a 50% win ratio ONCE since patch 7.23!) In my opinion, her popularity mostly has come from that she's a relatively consistent adc who's not insanely hard to play, and if you want to have new players pick up the game, she was a good starting point. Also, please buff tristana and all the other adcs so they're much, much better in lane.

I argued the same thing when she was nerfed in the first place. She wasnt actually all that problematic and using the excuse that she would hurt bot lane diversity to keep her garbage tier is bs. If melee champions want to go bot, they have to accept the possibility that they're going to get bullied in early levels. Especially since many of them can just all in her easily with their support post level 3 due to many of them having dash ranges that flat out out range her AA range. And this isn't even accounting for the oppressive double mages going bot; they are bullying out both melee and ranged champs. Why aren't they being nerfed and left in the gutter?

cait is the gatekeeper of bot lane that's why she won't get buffed until she doesn't force other picks out of bot lane

Caitlyn needs her 90 second traps back.

Caitlyn should NEVER get back the Runaan's interaction with headshot.

It's an extremely unhealthy mechanic.

First: Is unaceptable for a company like Rito is that Caitlyn passive scale with a stat that DOESN'T EXIST since the 8.11 IE changes.

Second: The winrate is a half argument, because champs can be absolutely strong with sub 50% winrate.

Third: She can be in a good spot without being the gatekeeper of Botlane, in fact she hasn't been that botlane monster since last season spring until they gut her and kept on the garbage until Worlds happened. Then they reverted the as nerfs and other stuff but letting her with the lowest base hp pool out of all adcs. She was still kinda weak on preseason for things like the adcs with Targon meta. With all the top tier adcs being nerfed patch by patch she started to shine again. And the most funny thing about the ppl that thinks that Caitlyn only has the brouken or gutted state is that the last pre 8.11 meta we had she was a decent pick but the strongest adcs on MSI where Ezreal/Kai'Sa, and she was picked often as a scale adc that wouldn't lose that hard to the gigabrouken Ezreal, not as a lane bully but as a not be stomped on lane by Ezreal.

Four: NO, please don't bring back the Runaan interaction or something similar, that makes her strong as a hipercarry for the passive stacking dps and what she needs is to get her Headshots power back that she lost with the IE change since her passive scale with max crit dmg, a stat that doesn't exist anymore.

Except, you just stated the reason for her sub 50% win rate in your own post: She is picked up by nublets as their first ADC quite frequently. She is also a favorite of players that don't main ADC that use her when they are auto-filled ADC.

These things are artificially dropping her win rate. Her win rate if you factor them out is probably significantly higher.
