Caitlin's trap.

The Ecdysiast··1 votes·785 views

Any other trap can be set off as soon as it's set. So how come Teemo can poison you while you're trying to run, but Caitlin, who's trap does next to no damage has a year-long time between when she sets it and when people can set it off? That's a little bogus. I've been trying to learn her and it turns out she simply has two moves that can't be used during combat and one that has a cast time longer than Veigar's E, Karthus's Q and Brand's W.

I think her Q needs to be thinner but lose the cast time. It's always bothered me that some wide thing comes out of her sniper. It can keep the pass-through decrease, but lowering the width would help it hit fewer minions. As far as the other things go... II simply don't like the style. Sure, she has a lot of range, but why does that have to mean her damaging ability takes the time of two basic attacks (that will probably do more damage) to cast, and the other two require your enemy to not walk on top of something clearly visible or be running away extremely close to you?

I hate Caitlyn so much.

"Look at me, I know how to right click on you from 700 feet away!"

The reason her traps do so little damage normally is because they scale off of AP, and Caitlyn usually isn't building AP

It's not the damage I care about. It's the fact they can't be used in combat because it takes 4 seconds from set for anyone to be able to set them off. Reason no one's seeing Caitlins is because Jinx has a variation on the trap that can actually be used during a fight or to run.

You should be using Q for pokes/peels, not as main damage source. It scales off AD really well, but Caitlyn is not an AD caster.

Cait has unmatched zone control in lane, because that's where she really shines. If you don't like her style then don't play her but that doesn't mean she needs buffs. she's extremely strong in the right hands and you definitely won't be seeing buffs on her anytime soon.

I can't think of any traps that trigger instantly.

Teemo doesn't even do that.

I can think of some, but I think the term is called "Ground-targeted skillshot"

It may not be instant, but it's short enough to have someone walking from edge to edge of the ability to set it off, and it sure as hell isn't the 4 seconds it takes for hers. Jinx has a variation that can actually be used during combat and running, and Cait's can't.

If cait needs a buff on anything it's her attack speed scaling or passive. Her traps are literally her best skill.

adc is an aa based champion use her q for poke not worry about ults it gets blocked and still does damage

also her traps have to be place right or in advance cait is supe strong not sure why im not seeing her more often
