Caitlyn's Auto Animation Suggestion

I've always found it super weird that she continuously puts the gun at her waist after every shot.

I feel like her animation should be like Yasuo's, where once she starts attacking, she readies herself in stance with her gun, but when out of combat she holds it how she usually does

Honestly, she probably just needs a small scale meshes rework. Her current rig is a bit too... ugly, to tell the truth. Texture's fine, it's the bonework that's uncanny, really. Her animation's more robotic than Orianna its what I'm saying, and we don't need to throw more water to the soup pot until the pot's clean and scruffed

I feel like currently Caitlyn is like a Call of Duty quickscoper... The weapon is down the suddenly she gets the quickdraw perk and snipes you from crazy range. She looks so clunky.

I'd say if she doesn't move that sounds like a good idea, being a sniper and all.

Also, Shen always sheaths his weapons on his back after each attack, only to take them out again on his next one. Shen And Vayne , she puts her crossbow on her back after every attack.

EDIT: Ah, Vayne's crossbow is only taken off during ultimate, sorry.

caitlyns auto bugs out and applies the damage before the animation touches them It pisses me off honestly.

It still does it to this day after all these years.

Being a sniper who's always ready, she should be holding it up at all times.

yeah i think thats a good point but snipers at normal speed get kickback and have to reload i think so it makes sense in a way it might look weird if it was a sniper machine gun or something. also graves has kickback too with his shotgun just something guns do

Omega Squad Teemo's a good example of this, I think. He holds his weapon ready for a short while after each attack.
