Ok yordles are new spirit (fairy-like) creatures so much is evident by the new Poppy lore as well as Illaoi 's vo. now my question is where does caitlyn fit into that. Caitlyn 's w by name is Yordle Snap Trap with the description "Caitlyn sets a trap to find sneaky yordles." this to me means one of a few possibilities 1.) it is a testament to her feminine side, maybe she want the magic to be a princess https://media4.giphy.com/media/f4cH0FXbUmogg/200.gif 2.) it is an obsession of hers as poppy revel to humans was a shocking event for them and here maybe she saw one when she was a child and no one believed her so she would to catch one and prove it to the world. a bit of proof of this one is in the ekko q&a it was relieved that ekko has never met a yordle https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTqhJNM6ReJM4UiPxXHDKbTWyJp_b1rI3bhh7ilC31sslu5qT6nXw and 3) she has only has bad experience with "evil yordles" Lulu Veigar and want to catch all the ones that wonder in her city as she thinks they are all evil, and she is a good cop. https://media4.giphy.com/media/pFZjzJ0s8mcsU/200.gif

now as she was in the resent marksmen reworks and the name of the traps were not changed this mean that they are still relevant and not dated ability names.

and i personalty believe that riot connects the moves that a champs does with what they do in real life, even if a bit sciled down like ekko's ult and Chogath 's size.

this is just a theory while waiting on a caitlyn lore update, and dont expect a red reply but just want to get discussion rolling

I'd imagine something called "Yordle snap trap" in the new canon would be a hextech trap designed in such a way to be resistant to attempts to disarm or escape from it that would come from magic and techmaturgy, including yordle magic. Essentially Yordle Snap Trap would be more along the lines of a trap not even yordle magic could get past or get free from.
