Don't worry.

You people act like her traps add 70% AD to an [up to] 100% AD bonus damage passive that can crit. (>_>)

Rainfall3 votes

Headshots are a crit.

Sexy Jack Rabbit12 votes

What? Wtf? No they're not.

They're an AA Modifier that is capable of Critting. What you said is like saying your Critical Strike can Critical Strike.

Its a critception

Thats how i describe the feeling at least. Like "oh you got ridiculous damage AND a crit, which does ridiculous damage. Thats cool. No really I love gray."

iamthegoatofwar1 votes

Depending on how he meant it yes it could be considered a crit like ashe's. Last I checked headshot scaled with crit chance.

That was really fun to watch XD

yup it gives flat ad damage (why the fuck?), headshot, and can crit

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

yup it gives flat ad damage (why the fuck?),

Because the 170%%AD damage needs time to scale?

Yea Azir's soldiers last half the time under tower, but Riot doesn't give a shit about Caitlyn being broken so don't expect something like what Azir has

I'm convinced that they don't nerf her because of the new skin. Same thing with LeeSin . Leave them too strong so that everyone will want to buy them and the expensive new skin when it comes out (God Fist Lee Sin and Pulsefire Caitlyn)

The Choncho1 votes

Many champions have gotten nerfed to dust after receiving a skin, the first that comes to my mind is ashe (thank god she was a monster). Im pretty sure that twitch wont be nerfed till he gets a new skin in fact.

ChaoticPinecone2 votes

Many champions got nerfed after getting a nice skin. Mecha Sion, DJ Sona, Battlecast Skarner, Final Boss Veigar, Dunkmaster Darius (ish)...and there are probably more I forgot.

Sp33d Zer03 votes

That 6 season pay off for god fist lee sin must have been huge.

Skins Project1 votes

It was mentioned on a riot post somewhere generally speaking the more expensive the skin the less money they earn from it. The majority of their profits come from the cheap skins... So... Yeah..

Xonra1 votes

Lee Sin is cause of LC$ and they've all but admitted that.

Cait I have no idea, but you might not be wrong on that one.

This game causes cancer because how frustrating it is. I went back to Hots and never regretet

FilDaFunk22 votes

Yes, you clearly are spending your time with HotS.

Synnx73 votes

Yeah. No galaxy-scale garbage champion balance, 12 maps to choose on, no fucking last hitting for 20minutes before the game actually starts , no 1 shooting because ( "op items= skill), and NO incompetent trash company that should've went bankrupt since that failure of Season 6 This game was great, till Season 6 hits. It started going downhill with their focus in that fucking LC$. Oh, and riot addmiting that Lee win is overpowered, so they wont nerf it because of LC$ , this clearly speaks their champ favoritism, hence the unexisting balance in the game. Thats why they even gave us this shitty new ban system. Ban same champion twice, wtf. ( not having a champ permanently banned) excuse

And the gameplay. Its so fucking boring ! Last hit minions for 20min, then the rest of the game, both teams are wandering around the map acomplishing jack shit untill someone gets caught and killed. LoL match in a nutshell

Very well said. So why are you even here? It's like pulling up to your exes house to yell out huge paragraph rants on how you're SOOOO much happier with your new GF. [zombie-brand-clap]

GeNeSisman3 votes

I will never understand how many people come back to the boards to say how much better off they are without the lol community. You're on the boards, your still here and are being an active part of the community!

Game has been in steady decline since they literally sold out their fanbase to China's Tencent. TBH, the decline of this game (while certainly Riot's fault) should have just as much blame placed on the Chinese government and their willingness to exploit their own people in order to hurt the rest of the world's economy in order to bring the average quality of life down to their shit level. Communism; not even once...

Xonra1 votes

Yup in decline, that's why out of all the major regions, only ONE had a decent upswing in the player base in 2017. Go away

MonkeyMadness1 votes

Just because people aren't leaving doesn't mean game health isn't shit...I'm still here and you clearly see my opinions...

Xonra1 votes

"No galaxy-scale garbage champ balance". You clearly haven't played HoTs for very long then.

Synnx72 votes

Got to gold III just from the provisionals. Won all of them. They count everything in their MMR, not only loses/win

Her traps wouldn't be much of a problem if the most you could place was 2-3 or keep the amount and allow them to be killed.

I more so find her range a problem, that early damage had me feeding until we got a good gank from jg and i went on to do better.

"im getting real tired of cait being able to place her turrets under an around the tower"

So, Cait can summon turrets now? Talk about outclassing Heimer.

Almighty.

pretty hurts4 votes

Nope. Better keep nerfing her late game until everyone outdamages her. BECAUSE IT'S CLEARLY WHAT'S SO FUCKED UP ABOUT THAT CHAMP AM I RIGHT RIOT?

MonkeyMadness4 votes

But that would require Riot to actually acknowledge something wrong with their game and then actually fix it...

Emelie Cauchemar3 votes

The problem is Caitlyn's supposed to be unnaturally strong early game. So, they have to keep nerfing her late game because unfortunately she's better late than most adcs.

Cavesloth3 votes

Honestly just making it so she can't hide her traps under a tower where you can't see them would be a huge improvement.

mikemcparty2 votes

You could, you know, have a tank walk on the traps to disarm them.

The purpose of the traps is what annoys you about the traps?

Nielarken1 votes

No the fact that its allowed when Azir was nerfed for the same reason is what bothers people.

Sp33d Zer01 votes

But Azir can move his soldiers and attack with them.

Also Azir's soldiers dying quick under tower was in his champion spotlight, he was nerfed for being too much of a generalist in high level play by being able to be a wave clear, team fighting, long range assassin.

If you want to nerf caitlyn because you feel she is overbearing that is fine, but her traps and Azir's soldiers are not birds of a feather.

Caitlyn's line of traps block you from minion cs forcing you to either take the free headshot for cait or miss cs.

Azir's soilder blocks you from minions forcing you to take the damage from them or miss cs.

They are not the same ability clearly but they served the same purpose while laning.

Sp33d Zer01 votes

Cait's traps in lane should rarely ever be enough to single handedly isolate you from minions. They have a long recharge and don't cover much space. They also don't move and attack you.

Poppystar1 votes

I think thats the purpose of traps? Its frustrating but cait has been nerfed. She's still good but she isn't broken anymore imo. Traps are her speciality. Just like Tristana's e is her speciality and just like how every champ has their speciality.

Rivini1 votes

Riot is still figuring out what to do about their golden child to ensure she will still be picked after any nerfs.

If she was a mage, she would have already been nerfed into the ground a year ago.

iiPlayii1 votes

Yea honestly it doesn't make sense and some people say, don't walk into it, but how can I avoid 20 traps and if im playing a champ like draven im moving a lot so I am bound to atleast step on one trap and then she crits me from half the map for half my hp.
