Hey so i often go adc bot with jinx, and caitlyn has longer range them me so she can harass me to no ends and then she can kill me with ease. This often makes it very hard for my team to win, so i was wondering if someone could help me with a counter strategy. thanks to everyone who helps.
Also, ask your jungler to game your lane often of they are overextended, and once u can get a couple of kills on Caitlyn, she will probably back off and play more cautiously.
This way u can farm ur creeps without that big of a problem .
Im sorry but I saw you said that you were complaining about caitlyns range in comparison to Jinx. But if you switch to Fishbones (The Rocket Launcher) she outranges Caitlyn by 50.
Normally when trying to counter caitlyn you need to focus on pushing her back rather than letting her farm at a distance. As jinx since I also main her as ADC, she has a major strength against Caitlyn because you can poke from further away than she can as long as you also watch for Caitlyns Q. Normally when im against a Cait, I constantly try to poke her from a distance with Fishbones and if she exposes herself with zap as well. I then proceed to use Pow Pow to farm. Using a Leona or Taric with Jinx also help because you can then work on widdling her health down at close range because of attack speed stacks.
Make sure your support or you steps on the traps when you are in no danger of getting caught by the enemy. Dodge the q. You out dmg her if she misses her q considering that most players feel the need to get quite close as an adc to AA you even though she has a bit of range on her AA's.
With any adc against Caitlyn, her aa range is her best strength but that's pretty much it. Caitlyn is very weak if you can close the distance. Hit her hard and hit her early and it's hard for her make it up again. That's my preferred strategy.
The biggest thing is to make sure not to open yourself up to getting aa'd. And if you have to for last hits, hit her back! As long as she doesn't have her passive up you will likely win the trade.
Also, keep in mind jinx's Q with rockets actually outranges caitlyn aa range at rank 5!
Pass her Q, use your trap grenades and focus her (helps if your support has a stun like Nami's Q or Janna's Q
Bot lanes are different than other lanes because there is not really any true counters because it is a teamwork lane. The support should not let the enemy adc to get harass on to you, but no ones perfect. I think to get a very aggressive lane or have a comp with lots of poke, for example Ezreal and Nami for range poke. Or you can have a Jinx and Annie to be aggressive and burst enemy down.
