Can we please give Caitlyn an actual weakness?

I'm actually super sick of Caitlyn winning every lane and snowballing it into a victory every goddamn time. It's impossible to get on her because of er range, net, and traps, and she just wins. She doesn't even have to be decent and she wins.

HER ONE WEAKNESS is if she gets behind, her midgame is weak. Unfortunately it's impossible to lose lane as Caitlyn. I'm so sick of this champion having no actual weaknesses it hurts.

Yes I'm salty. I don't actually care right now. I swear this champion is legit impossible for me to beat. I've played every ADC I kow how to play, and it doesn't matter if the Caitlyn has half a brain or not.

Late-game she's bad, she can't duel, and her "auto-attack steroid" really does suck in the middle of a team fight when Jinx has exploding crit rockets or Graves is attacking twice as fast. She has a lot of lane pressure, her Q hurts, her autos stack up and eventually hurt, and she is very safe. However, her "peak" is during end of the lane phase, where she can grab kills with her ult, then it's a downwards roll for her.

She literally doesn't have a late game compared to any other ADC.

Go on, name one adc she will outduel when they both have 3 items.

Beating Caitlyn is as much a matter of your support and jungler. If they know how to poke back at Caitlyn you can push her far enough back that you can farm safely. That's the key against Caitlyn. She's a lane bully and nearly impossible to out-trade early, but her mid/late game falls off compared to most other ADCs so the trick is to match her or out farm her early and then crush her once the laning phase starts to come to a close.

I never try to win lane against a Caitlyn. It's too risky considering her escapes. However, I can and do prevent losing against the Caitlyn so that she can't get ahead by midgame. Then as her damage starts to fall off since she really only has her Q and ult as damage causing abilities, I bully her back.

I've won against Caitlyn playing Jinx and Sivir and helped Lucian and Ashe players beat her when I played support. She's not all that hard to beat if you play a bit safer and work with the mid and late game in mind.
