Once you get IE/PD/LW, and if your kiting skills are up to snuff, you do the damages and you have decent escapes because of your range and how you don't need to get so close to anybody. | ||

Caitlyn is often considered one of the easier ADCs to play. And while this is true to play her at full potential requires arguably more mechanical skill than any other ADC except maybe Vayne. Caitlyn is like the definition of "easy to learn, hard to master" in League of Legends. | ||

Her Q is odd in team fights but it's still decent damage against clumped teams or as part of an EQ combo on someone chasing you. She's a nightmare to deal with in team fights due to her range and slippery nature. Her steroid sucks, but at least she has full range for the entire game (unlike Kog/Trist). Not taking away from other adc's, just saying that Cait does certain things better than every other adc. If you're just farming passively in lane and don't siege turrets later in the game then yea, she's going to look awful as a champion. | ||

It's not uncommon to have a 20-30 CS lead as Caitlyn just because you can CS so easy with her and her range allows you to make your opponent choose between taking harass and getting CS (and he can only trade harass for CS so often before it isn't worth it anymore). Caitlyn is often considered one of the easier ADCs to play. And while this is true to play her at full potential requires arguably more mechanical skill than any other ADC except maybe Vayne. Caitlyn is like the definition of "easy to learn, hard to master" in League of Legends. I find Cait much easier to play in late game than most other AD carries. She has an escape and she has range. When you play someone with short range like Graves or Vayne, you don't have the safety blanket like you do with Cait and you have to be more careful when you go in. When you play someone like Ashe or Varus or MF, you don't have an escape so you have to really watch where you're going. With Cait, you're already far enough from the fight as it is, and if people get close you can still run. The only easier late-game ADCs are probably Trist and Ez. | ||

And set level, of course. It's not much good to have 3 item champions at level 1. EDIT: I also would give a lot for this. There are a lot of times where I want to test even matchups in lane at levels 7-9, but playing 10-12 minutes is pretty cumbersome and also does not always result in an even lane. | ||

Don't know if it's an actual hack, but it seems to be messed up. It seems to basically turn Jayce backwards then hit his skill so it throws a person in that direction instead. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1h4adi/op_jayce_bughackvideo_inside/ So hammer basically knocks players in the direction jayce is facing eh? | ||

(Also the beautiful matchmaking when it comes to premade, but it isn't the players' fault here. Urgh, again 5 solos vs 4+1.) | ||

Vayne's close, but is even more auto-attacky then Cait, and Varus doesn't really have an escape skill, just an AoE slow. | ||

My ideal ADC is someone with a good poke (for early game dives and guaranteeing CS), one escape skill other than Flash, and an ult that helps in team fights (CC or lotsa dmg. to multiple targets). Right now, the person that best fits that idea is Ez, but Draven just shuts him down so hard in lane it's rediculous. Vayne's close, but is even more auto-attacky then Cait, and Varus doesn't really have an escape skill, just an AoE slow. Graves/Corki (if his ult doesn't fizzle all the time anymore)? Although Draven just kills them in lane as well, Graves less so. | ||

You just have to concede one of what you want.There is no ad that has everything. Varus seems to fit what you want the best.You underestimate how much peel his ultimate offers. | ||

I dunno, Cait pokes pretty hard with both autos, Q, and even R as a one off, and her E isn't as good as Ez E or Trist W but is pretty good when you're dealing with someone diving you | ||
