Caitlyn Rework?

Flakenut·7/22/2017, 1:58:36 PM·3 votes·1,363 views

New Passive Headshot: Caitlyn's Auto Attacks against rooted enemies deal 25% of its damage as true damage. This ability has a 2 second cooldown against each enemy.

Right now Caitlyn doesn't play like a sniper. She feels more like a spray and play champion that doesn't care about the perfect shot, just wants to shoot anything that's in range. By making a lot of her power rely on setting up a perfect shot (such as a clever trap placement or your team sets up the root) it encourages her to build high damage items that favor a one shot one kill play style. And lore wise it makes sense that Caitlyn would try and line up a perfect shot that would ignore her targets armor.

Thoughts?

"perfect shot" describes her playstyle very good.

You step on a trap, you get the headshot, the q, the ult. Most people, that will not build armor, will die to that. why would you add true damage to that kit?

If Riot would actually place limits on her traps, this might not be terrible. As is, this would just make her even more OP.

Her sniper aspect is her ULT. She doesn't need all of her abilities to be related to being a Sniper. She is called "THE SHERIFF OF PILTOVER" not the "SNIPER OF PILTOVER" afterall.
