I get Caitlyn traps are apart of her gameplay identity

BALDG1VEN BOOMER··102 votes·5,591 views

But can she not place a trap directly underneath you. It's cancer playing against double snare/hook bot lanes like

Caitlyn + Blitzcrank Bard Karma Morgana Thresh Zyra

It's literally stun after stun and there's no room for error in these lane or else you're dead

Also if you guys don't want to remove the traps from under tower at least cut the duration of the traps cause being under your tower for 90 seconds doing nothing is completely fun right?

Jhin Jinx Vayne can all chain their CC with a supports. Its simply how the game works.

Big Lincoln19 votes

they can't drop multiple snares at a time, that's the difference

A Cait with a multi CC support can just chain snare you for days if they do it right

You're telling me some support can stun/keep you in place long enough for 4 seconds straight?

He actually has 4

Troll for Trump2 votes

His Q "stun", his Passive snare, his ult knockup.

What's the fourth hard cc?

Supreme Senpai6915 votes

He makes you blush irl whenever he notices you

ModAcademy Kayn6 votes

Humorous as it is, if Leona is able to chain CC you 4 seconds, including the trap, I don't think you'd be alive for the second trap to happen.

Thresh Leona Morgana Blitzcrank

4 seconds? perhaps not but they have self chain cc.

TheHappyReaperz3 votes

Except they can. Jhin and Morg can chain their snares, as Morg's Q marks targets. Jinx can throw down Chompers wherever her support CC'd someone, and they'll get snared. Vayne is a bit harder to pull of, but you can use a Thresh or Blitz to position people in a way you can condemn into a wall.

Big Lincoln4 votes

that's not what I said.

jhin and jinx have 1 CD, cait has multiple traps

TheHappyReaperz10 votes

Enemy champions who step on a trap set it off, rooting them for 2 seconds, during which they take increased damage from Headshot, grant True Sight of themselves for 9 seconds, and become immune to Yordle Snap Traps for 4 seconds while they remain in the area.

Copy pasta'd that from the wiki

Big Lincoln3 votes

The 4 seconds counts down from the moment you're snared

There are a lot of supports that can lock you down for 2 seconds or more on their own

VoidStaresBack7 votes

So stop stepping into her traps. They're zoning tools that punish you for being an idiot and can only be reliably applied to a target who is already CC'd. Thus, if you don't step into her trap first, they can't chain CC you unless the support has an additional 2 seconds of crowd control after the initial CC, which is a lot rarer.

Sexy Jack Rabbit2 votes

Iirc the main ones capable of that are Leona Morgana andNautilus and a few out-liers. Otherwise other support champions have to land their CC either after the Trap duration has ended.

It's possible to chain CC, but it's not possible to double up with every support that happens to have CC.

Problem is the area is actually quite small. I found myself surprised by that when playing as cait to notice how it works.

Treyhova3 votes

True, but they then cant hit you with a super crit afterwards for free.

TheHappyReaperz5 votes

Jhin fourth shot, Jinx crit rockets, Vayne tumble crits.

Treyhova5 votes

But those are not guarantees. Cait trap, no matter what, is going to let you get a crit, that does even more then a regular crit, at an absurd range.

Ulquiorra9953 votes

If we are talking about laning then only Jhin counts out of those 3, and he has to hold onto his 4th shot for when his support decides to initiate - meaning it's still less guaranteed than Cait. Jinx and Vayne aren't critting you that early unless they get super lucky with cheesy 1% from runes.

Sire Hippington1 votes

Technically, it's not a crit, it's her headshot+flat bonus damage and hurts more than her ult, but it's not a crit. However, the headshot AA CAN be a crit, leading to even more absurd damage later on...

Supreme Senpai6920 votes

I know what you mean but it hurts to read when people put "literally cancer"

like no it isn't literally cancer

it isn't a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue

it's just metaphoric cancer, or cancer for short

Adriqnohee7 votes

Some would say, its literally not cancer.

Snowman Arc1 votes

Definitely not cancer.

what pisses me off more is when they call it down syndrome

what makes it have a third 21 chromosome?

Troll for Trump4 votes

why is it called down syndrome in the first place..

Kaioko18 votes

The only change I think that Caitlyn needs is that traps should be removed faster under turrets; nothing else is needed. Chaining CC has always been a part of the game

BastionKross5 votes

I thought Cait's identity was to be the sniper of League.

At least until Jhin came along and did that identity four times better.

I would upvote you, but it appears you already have 4 points.

If you get hit by a skillshot, you deserve to get CCd some more.

It's how the game works.

Ruin Lance5 votes

how about make it so that she can't make GA a useless item. it's completely stupid that she can place a trap under you during your GA animation and insta-kill you with a headshot when you get up.

Chembaron Yamada5 votes

To be fair, isn't that basically the case for every champ with hard CC?

Supreme Senpai692 votes

Eh like Morg has to time it right so her Q is fired slightly before the GA animation stops. Cait can plop it down before the animation even starts. Weird thing to complain about but I admit that would feel pretty awful if it happened to me

Arya Riven4 votes

Can people stop using the word "literally" incorrectly? Downvoted on that alone. It isn't an a word to put emphasis on a statement.

RavenMagus2 votes

They are just not being literal with their use of "literally."

h5LYF41Lam3 votes

as a caitlyn main,i can say that the only thing that can be done about caitlyn's traps would be to make the range scale meaning that until she upgrades her W the range is smaller and she has to be realy close to you to do the trick.

LSmaster162 votes

As someone who really hates Caitlyn, that actually seems like a really good idea for how to nerf chaining traps with other cc, especially if they can nerf maxing traps first a bit (I think that used to be a thing, I'm not sure if it still is). Maybe have it scale with levels rather than ranks in w?

h5LYF41Lam2 votes

but tbh caitlyn is not "op" currently 48% winrate at 30% playrate is not that bad.

LSmaster162 votes

I don't think she's really overpowered, I just hate laning against her.

Elewd2 votes

traps just need to go back to 3 max. the charge system is 10/10 the problem is she gets 5 of them now.

Sozan51 votes

I have a better idea. Reduce the range to 300-400.

Supreme Senpai692 votes

That's a bit harsh given her identity as the siege ADC. Can't siege if the second you try to set up for a siege you get exploded. 300 range is basically melee AA range.

I think 550-650 would be better. That way if she tries to put a trap down you can at least AA her for doing it.

For the record its 800 range atm

Sozan52 votes

Okay, add travel time to that (think Teemo style, throwing traps) and you got yourself a deal. xD

Supreme Senpai692 votes

DEAL. Boom, balanced. WE FIXED YOUR GAME, RITO.
