Shes entirely broken. Im sick of her pulling a yasuo and going from 0/10 to 15/12 once she hits 2-3 items and carrying her team with minimal effort.

Did you really just have a bad game against Cait, and go on the forums to call her OP immediately after, with no real reason why?

And before you ask, no, I do not main Cait, nor do I like fighting her. She can be annoying, but she's not "OP.'

TL;DR: Not OP, just really annoying sometimes.

She has always been strong. And I would go so far as saying that she's the lee sin of adc's.

It's honestly because she had super long range and a simple looking kit, so people who aren't confidant in their adc pick her up and do bad. I'd you know what you ate doing as an adc and can use her safety properly she is pretty busted. Not sure how she is since patch as I'm away from my computer but I'll be doing a lot of testing.

She's still probably one of the safest adcs. Almost always picked (37% pickrate, 51% winrate anyone?). Just maxing your skills the right order on her gives you a winrate of 61%. She's utterly busted.

How does this post facilitate actual discussion again....?

Instead of making a clickbait title with absolutely no factual, informed statistical evidence other than personal, anecdotal evidence; try rewording your post content to explain, from your perspective, why you think Caitlyn is "broken".

You people are all wrong. Caitlyn isnt op at all..

Now becomes this:

Why I believe Caitlyn is "broken"

Shes entirely broken. Im sick of her pulling a yasuo and going from 0/10 to 15/12 once she hits 2-3 items and carrying her team with minimal effort.

Now becomes this:

After multiple games where I played against Caitlyn [link], [link], [link] -- no matter how often I would see the Caitlyn player fall behind with a negative KDA, the end result was always her carrying the enemy team with minimal effort once they hit a 2 or 3 item powerspike in the mid-game.

Taking a look at the champion's base stats and looking at Caitlyn's winrate statistics etc, etc ,etc, [links for reference] -- I came to the personal conclusion that Caitlyn may be in need of additional nerfs and rebalancing of her power, in order to keep her more in line with other marksmen during similar item powerspikes in the mid to late game.

One suggestion I have that may alleviate this problem, is [insert suggestions here].

What do you all think?

Almost thought this was a troll post, but yeah, even with the 'changes' to her kit, it still does not address her bush snipe damage blow ups and W traps to let her zone a map and pull off a Jinx by putting her trap on top of you or right 'behind' you to get quite a instant root. We might need to have them implement a feature that does not allow one to 'set traps' on top of players or it will automatically 'relocate' to the nearest 'location near the target at random'.

Just like with Draven they have little to non-existent mana costs on damage nuking 'abilities' that are especially able to get insanely strong in the early game. Granted i was thinking of buying her once but i ended up getting a different champion instead, forgot which one sadly. Funny in that regard that the majority of strong champions that get overpowered are ones i do not own or rarely even use that often...

Does not help that a good deal of these snowball'ie ADCs all have long range damage shred massacre tools which i'm sure everyone knows what i'm talking about ( Draven Caitlyn Lucian MissFortune ) that all lead into rather EZ finish off ultimates that i feel like some of them need to lose the global range a great deal just to make them somewhat 'fair' or not allow things like 'on hit effect' bonuses or be allowed to move at 'full speed' while doing them.

Ive played with and against caitlyns. Pretty much the only way they get back into the game after being shut down (which happens quite often actually) is to literally be hand fed kills by a fed team mate, or to farm off the wazzoo. Ill almost bet their farm was higher than yours :)
