Just played this interesting game where I was this 5200 HP full build Sejuani with FH + Randuin vs this poor Caitlyn. It was fun.

It is a little bit different when the range difference is 100 and not 425.

It also doesn't help that cait has to really dominate in order to be strong. She simply does less damage than any other ADC if she doesn't have more items (or doesn't have an extra offensive item)

its not really rocket science to last hit with tristana tbh
if i dont play her for like 300 games then play her again it doesnt take but like a creep wave to figure out

in general this game isnt hard to figure out, it doesnt just apply to adc

If you compare her timing to the popular adc champs her damage potential is very weak.She is only better than some others if enemy has no tanks but otherwise she is really bad.

Caitlyn is very safe and easy to play. Idk wtf you are talking about, she is the only AD I can play without feeding hilariously since I don't play AD. Many, many other players feel the same way

She's safe and easy, but she isn't nearly as useful damage wise in most team comps if you aren't getting a decent size lead with her.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS GIVE HIS PASSIVE A COOLDOWN LOL

I didn't even think he was that op'd tbh. Twitch/Jinx/Kog/Trist were all popping up in these recent patches.

he's not, that's the stupid thing, ever since they changed BT he's like lower tier than kog/trist and on the same tier as twitch/cait/jinx

The one thing I did like about Lucian was that it was an ADC that non ADC players could play, and not be useless.


Caitlyn already exists though.

Caitlyn is godawful if you don't main ad wtf.This myth is retarded.If you dont get fed in lane as cait you are useless compared to enemy ad until 3+ items.


I agree. Cait also requires a good rhythm and knowledge of lane mecahnics in order to harass and zone well in lane, mechanics which are very ranged AD specialized.

Trist is the AD for people who don't know how to AD. You can't do well in lane anyway, so don't try. You auto shove lanes by reading a guide, all you have to do is right click from 700 units away

This is why I play Shiv first tristana. Farm all day, ignore people.

This is essentially what happens when a non-adc player plays Cait. "HEY GUIZ. STOP SUCKING. I WENT EVEN IN LANE AGAINST TRISTANA/KOG/JINX/TWITCH."

midlane is a lot more forcing the other guy to choose between creeps and you, and setting up skillshots/punishing if something hits. Most of them have longer windups and similar range, so it's difficult to get into a position where you couldn't auto back.

ranged top shouldn't even count count as abusing range differential. Your distance from the other guys potential gap closer is what dictates the matchup. If renekton can spend a single E to get empowered W off on you, then you lose, otherwise harass away for example.

I think ADC should build SotD more often. It is really good.

Caitlyn isn't hard to play in the sense that you'll lose lane and feed. Caitlyn is hard to play in the sense that even if all of the usual metrics look reasonably good (most notably CS and deaths), there's still a good chance she's not accomplishing anything.

This doesn't mean you necessarily have to be way ahead or snowballing, but it definitely changes how and when you can fight and how much and when you MUST farm. It's pretty easy to see in pro play. Even ahead-Caitlyn tends to push rather than fight in the midgame. Although I confess I don't fully know what the new itemization has done for or against her.

I remember one time I went even in lane as Caitlyn in a 2v1 because my support was DC'd for about 10 minutes. Granted, they weren't very good and the jungler only came down like 2 times and failed while my jungler never even bothered with my lane lol

It should be good on Ashe too. 4 crits in a row, guaranteed. But really you have to be able to abuse the timing on the active to make it worthwhile, and for early attack speed items the other ones do better.

I love Cait simply because you can straight out push people with no counterplay. She's my favorite champ to farm minions with lol

I can stop Cait shoving with Lulu's Q (provided that my AD isn't some chump who picked Ezreal or Vayne after he saw the Cait and only attacks to last hit... ), but I can't harass her because she won't let me in E range. Screw her. :<

Lucian players abusing how stronger he was than the rest were easy to abuse themselves. That was fun. "What's that, you're half HP and I hit 2 first with E and Q both off cd?"

The "blind" is mostly for jukes and stuff, in a direct confrontation it actually gives vision slightly larger than the standard range (~= 575) so you can most of the time know who's hitting you and retaliate if you're ranged


Graves w works just like a bush or a wall combined with nocturne ult does. The reason people in the smoke can see who is hitting them is because you're granted vision of people who attack you just like anyone gains personal vision of someone attacking them. If you don't attack the person in the smoke they will be unable to retaliate ( except by guessing where to put skill shots)

Edit I would not be surprised if the reason they gave graves the special noc taunt is because they lifted the code from him and it was an internal joke about the dev process for the champion.

Yeah Cait is just a lane bully. She's not extraordinary out of lane, although I do enjoy sieging with a Caitlin as well due to traps and her net trap making her quite hard to stick onto. If she's not fed from lane like she should be though she's not quite as strong as most adcs.

Uh, yeah, my bad, I got my stuff mixed while typing. Graves' W reduces vision to 675 range, it doesn't grant 575 vision upon being attacked. Not that this is still enough to see Graves if he's in autoattack range of you anyway, which makes the ability awkward to use at low range for personal gain unless there's a bush nearby (the gank detection denying capability will always work).

I've found it one of the hardest abilities in the game to use properly, because I have trouble picturing myself the enemies inside's field of vision, let alone anticipate what it'll look like depending on where I cast it. Since it relies on removing information from the enemy (or a light slow when running away) which is intangible, it's not that easy.
Getting a kill with it is pretty ridiculous on the other hand.

I'm pretty sure riot makes drastic nerfs in the PBE so people can freak out and then they can make their real change and people are like, that's not bad. Where if they made that first people would freak about it. I'm sure this won't go through, just like all the other bonkers nerfs that never went through.

It's the fact that they even considered it is hilarious. They have goldfish-tier memory, it's like they forgot what happened to every single fucking champion that got a ranged nerf.

Last one was Ziggs. Only reduced the amount of solo kills he got in early laning, so they thought it'd be fine.
