Possible Caitlyn Passive + W rework

Emerald Fang··1 votes·661 views

PASSIVE: Every 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 seconds (-1% per 25% bonus Attack Speed) Caitlyn prepares a headshot, reduced by 0.5 seconds per basic attack. Headshots will never critically strike against champions, but deal 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% AD (+1% AD per 2.5% Critical Strike Chance) (+1% AD per 2% Critical Strike Damage) true damage to the target. The damage is increased by 100% against minions.

W: Traps will trigger a Headshot that deals (110/120/130/140/150% [+25% per 100 bonus AD]) of the original true damage. Snare duration: 2 -> 1.5 seconds Enemies snared will take (10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30% [+5% per 100 bonus AD]) of the headshot damage per attack, for 3.5 seconds. Caitlyn can only store 3 traps at once but she can have up to 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 / 5 on the map at once.

So basically Caitlyn's a sniper who tries to line up a perfect headshot right? So it makes some sense that she should do some "armor-piercing" damage. BUT by removing the crits from headshots she can't do immense damage; she does slightly less but pierces armor.

So she can still do big crits on non-headshots, but her headshots can armor-pierce; focusing on the armor-piercing aspect.

Basically sacrificing some damage for more tank-busting. Good to counteract the vayne nerfs (although she's still really strong).

I seriously think every adc champ needs something like jhins passive to make their auto attacks differentiate from others. And although I know the majority, yeah even varus has a onhit auto buff on their kit, most critical build adcs passives are just mediocre and half-baked.

Especially Cait I say. No sniper theme in the kit at all, but trap blockade spam fest. Her kit has nothing related to aiming stuff in the first place. Even her Q widens up if it catches something. Its basically spam for harass. Hell even her ult is single target click.
