so can we ever expect caitlin nerfs?

MoldyCheese1··8 votes·681 views

I mean, im all for a champion witha 85%-125% ad increase every 6 shots with a zoning tool good wave clear, disengage and the highest auto range in the game. i mean guys shes like super useless mid game with the 1100-1500 damage crits every few hits and 5 bear traps to completely zone you out of a lane. i mean, shes in every lcs game, solo que and flex, in my past 20 games ive seen 18 and she was being picked on both teams and was not chosen 2x because she was banned by me. and i mean the HIGHEST auto range? with that kit? so if your a tank she puts down a bear trap and uses e if your an adc your prob 30+cs behind her and down a few kills not to mention the "cheese" spots you can put by tower that that EVERYONE ive seen in gold+ does because not being able to see her put a trap under your tower then proceed to shoot you for 500(1000 if she crits) at around lvl 7 when you got like 1.2k hp, yes for the love of god, she is where she needs to be every game caitlin, jinx, kog and trist are basically gone, and shes 5x easier to learn than draven so unless you got a mini tyler you basically lost bot, like can we please just get a passive nerf? if you get cc'd for just a second she can place a trap headshot, e headshot and thats a forced retreat w/ heal or flash can this just...not be the meta?

She only needs 1 nerf. "Headshot no longer activates when the target is trapped or hit by 90 caliber net"

She would be fine if they did this.

^^^ Either people forgot how balance she was before the mini rework or just think she was weak back then, her trade off for those ability was that she has a large auto attack range. She is either safe or not and the trap is already punishing enough when she can make a line infront of a turrent or under a person feet that set in 0.5 sec.

Again, it would destroy her nichè. Before the rework, she was just a generic marksman. She was the marksman that had slightly more auto attack range than every other marksman, that was all that separated her.

I hardly call that delivering on the sniper theme.

She would be gutted if they did this. There would almost be no point in even leveling her traps up if they removed the head shot. Stepping on her trap is supposed to be a punishment, not a slap on the wrist.

She didnt have this mechanic for YEARS. and she was still pretty good.

Firmly disagree. This would cripple Caitlyn beyond what is necessary.

Instead, why not nerf her traps since they're pretty damn good right now? I even have a short list of nerfs I'd like on Caitlyn (as a Caitlyn off-main), though they're mostly exclusively from each other since they're a bit drastic.

Nerf 1: Snap Trap no longer marks the target to take 100% damage from Piltover Peacemaker's after-first-target damage. I don't quite understand why this is a thing to begin with. It's just unnecessary power. Nerf 2: Headshot requires 1 extra attack to charge, bringing the attacks required from 6 to 7 and the attack enhanced from every 7th to every 8th. Nerf 3: Force Headshot to be a flat value to champions as well, removing the scaling. This would require the Headshot value to be locked in to something that ends up higher early, weaker later. I think 75% bonus or even 100% bonus would be a good base, though this might make her early game a little TOO strong... Nerf 4: Remove the Hurricane bolts adding stacks---Oh wait, they did that. Sweet.

She went years of being a good champion without this mechanic.

So I do think Caitlyn needs a nerf but this is terrible. Her headshot mechanic is basically so depended on and you're taking away her only thing. Plsu the 90 Caliber Net even more useless than her q then

not saying remove it just tone it down a bit, getting hit for 1.5k for a crit 14 minutes into the game is just nuts

She went years without this mechanic as was a great champion during that time.

Her disengage is garbage and her traps only become MAXIMUM LOCK OUT at max level.

He is the same as always, a lane bully that has a kit that falls off hard after laning. There are even way better teamfighters than her.
