Why we shoild leave Caitlyns attack speed alone and how I think a simple nerf could balance her

Hey there! Im a main with about 250K points. I know caitlyn is broken right now, and i strongly believe nerfing her attack speed further may do more harm than good in the long run.

Nerfing her late game more and more will have hard consequences in a new meta as she will only have her early game to fall on

#My idea

I think what we should do is nerf the base damage on her trap headshot damage. A simple change but it could drastically do wonders to balance her. She wont have as much incentive to just spam her traps everywhere instead of just doing other actions. Overall i think its a nerf that riot should try out on her and see how it goes.

My thought was to just nerf her attack speed/delay, but raise her attack damage. The early game counter play would then to be to punish her hard when she's stuck in the attack animation.

This is a good idea. She already does no damage without her trap headshots so toning it down slightly might just do the trick, They could even give her back a little bit of AS in return imo
