How do you play the laning phase as Tristana+Morgana vs Caitlyn+Soraka?

Before I speak, understand that I am not ranked whatsoever, rather I am just a normals player who hates Caitlyn's range lol. As the Morgana+Trist combo, I think the best possible way to secure a win in that game is for you as Morgana to catch Soraka or Caitlyn out with a Q, and then instantly have Tristana jump in with her W (assuming you've warded tri bush and the other one to ensure no one else is coming) and just go absolutely ham as early as possible. This strategy would work even better if Trist was level 6, you Q'ed either Soraka or Caitlyn, Trist jumps over them with her W and immediately ults one of them in the direction of your own turret. Since they lack the mobility to counteract any of that (aside from Caitlyn's E), you should absolutely destroy them at this point. Destroying them early is the key to winning this matchup - land those Q's and you should be good to go.

Oh, and if they're playing so safely that you can't catch either of them out, then just push lane so hard and poke with a combination of Trist's AA passive and your W that they can't even farm well. Since they don't have poke themselves this should work out fairly well if you ward decently.

First of all, Caitlyn is meant to be an oppressive lane bully, so it would be normal to suffer during laning phase. I'd say that if you have more cs, that alone is enough to say that u won the lane.

Tristana is prob gonna be pretty much helpless early laning phase. Morgana may or may not be able to drain Soraka's mp by repeatedly hitting Caitlyn, altho Soraka would be the preferred target. Other than that, there isnt much Tristana Morgana can do til lv6.

Once Morgana hits lv6, she should be able to all-in with her ult (this is gonna be useless,however, if she forgot to take summoner 14). With a good follow up it's possible to kill Caitlyn Soraka.

tristana morg vs caitlyn soraka.

Farm till 6, all in the soraka and ult away the caitlyn so she cant do anything lol.

Other than that play off your morg. Let them push up which they will and have your jungler comes, let morg engage with an ult

If you cant let them push because you're playing trist then keep aiming for soraka until she has to back. At that point blow up the tower because your tristana

tbh idk that seems like you wouldnt really win lane since trist is more of a late game champ but if morg lands a snare on soraka... that sorakas dead because you E-W-Q

Farm safely, call for support when they are at your tower. Luckily Tristana doesn't really get pushed into tower easily, so you can keep it just out of tower range with some effort. Against a disadvantage, just play safe and get the CS you can get without getting poked out too much. Much better to keep up in levels than to die for 50 gold. And ask for ganks. I've used the "Assist Me" ping many times and no one seems to acknowledge it. If you tell them, "enemy bot lane sitting at my tower" they are more likely to see it and come it seems. Might just be me though.

I was always pushed into tower because Cait was able to walk up to me and hit me for free. Yes, I did hit her back every single time, but Soraka was healing her for the same amount of hp, therefore every single trade was a losing trade.

Just do your best then and accept that they will take your tower. If your jungler isn't helping you in a lane where you're at a disadvantage, then just accept that it's gone and try to farm for late.
