I really hope it doesn't become meta. I don't need to be slowed by 99% 1000 units away. Plus the extra damage is terrifying

Lethality is garbo on caitlyn though.

She needs crit to scale and delaying that sounds terrible, specially since her late game scaling with base stats was already hammered with nerfs.

shhhh, let board circle jerk about adcs

Well, the only two Lethality items she had was Youmuus and Duskblade. She also built IE, Essence Reaver (for some reason), RFC and berserkers. No one on our team could deal with her.

on pbe duskblade is being nerfed so it does less damage and doesnt slow on ranged champions

Oh that is a relief to hear.

It was actually hot fixed to live this morning for NA

Edit: Ranged slow wasn't removed with the hot fix, that was a weird decision.

They're very leery about rescinding powerful moves toward ADC strength. They undid Kog'maw, and now AD items have been on a rise and surprise... ADCs are loving that.

Ranged slow being removed is probably too much of a change (potential to go wrong/bugs) for a hotfix. Number nerfs are comparatively easy.

His range is gated to two abilities that are rather difficult to hit.

Hers is constant.

he gets 4 shots on ult with range that all slows... and add in the slow of duskblade

but yes lets cry on cait more after her win rated dropped 4% when the patch came live after the attack speed nerfs

Because her issue totally is her DPS, not the fact she can spam traps for almost no mana.

she can only place 3 traps til 3 points in E and they have 1.1 sec arm time...

jihn places traps too they are invisible and slow ...

SithesisLordJul 19, 20171 votes

Traps that she can place extremely close to each other for easy double headshots.

Which shouldn´t happen. If the headshot from her traps had a cooldown like Udyr's E or Yasuo's E, she'd be at least ten times less annoying to deal with.

its not like she always gets to headshot if you step on a trap...

and her win rate still dropped 4% with having an over all win rate of 48.71% she lost a lot of mid into late game dps cuz outside of laning phase... and trying to siege or taking /zone a objective her traps and abilities arent really ideally she ends up being the same old cait as before being crit and auto attack reliant

so she still has her siege/zone capabilities... lane pressure dominance but falls off hard outside of lane due to the nerfs on her attack speed growth
