Will PBE Caitlyn nerfs come with any compensation buffs?

Now look, I know the nerfs on the PBE will probably make a ton of players happy to see a shorter trap duration. That being said, however, this does seem like a significant nerf and her recent nerfs definitely knocked her down a bit. It's fine to keep these PBE nerfs, but don't you think maybe she should be compensated somewhere else in her kit a little? She seems to be the only ADC being whipped patch after patch, and although she is strong I won't deny, she should not be beaten into the dirt.

It's Yasuo all over again, where a balanced but annoying champions get nerfed over and over because people find them annoying. Lol what a joke this community is.

Wow, they're gutting Caitlyn.

But why? she's not even close to the highest win rate... she actually has UNDER 50% win rate. http://champion.gg/statistics/#?roleSort=ADC&sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend

What the FFFidlesticks, Riot?

100% pick/ban rate in competition this is a competition patch

no need of compensation, just straight nerfs to tune down a busted champion

Don't think they will - to be honest, she will still be a top 3 adc even with this nerf.

the buff was being viable in any meta at the end of s5, throughout s6, and the beginning of s7. you say she's the only ADC whipped patch after patch but dont you think she deserves it? she is obnoxiously oppressive throughout laning phase but once she gets her items she does damage rightfully. i think its completely fair to reduce her trap duration. she's a cant be a sieger and a lane bully with superior range all at the same time.

probably not until lcs patch passes or is over

Im actually loving that they make changes for competitive esports, because that widely broadens the viability of all champions in high elo especially and tones down champs that suffocate the champion pool by being pick or ban like cait used to. It sure must not be fun for cait mains, but t feels goddamn good for the rest

She can have six traps?

Maybe that will do it. Heheheheh...
