So, I'm getting into 3v3s, Tiamats still the best way to play her there, or something else better?

So after this patch is up, will Tiamat Caitlyn no longer be best Caitlyn? Will she simply be shelved as a character you get cookie cutter carry builds on but is not as good as others?

More seriously though do you still think Tiamats will be worth it since they don't proc on ult? It seems they took a hit but if you were mainly using them to farm then they still serve that purpose.

Caitlyn my new fav champ. Some people think that she's really bad, but I think Infinity Edge Cait is really good. She's like trist with a q harass. Passive+crit=massiv dmg. She is kind of UP compared to the other ranged carries though.

Caitlynn is a pretty safe farmer due to her natural range. She can also get a few creeps at a time with her Q easier than trist can with E's passive.

Tiamats are worthless without the ult. They were already pretty gimicky, and now worthless. She farms fine with her passive + Q.

So yeah, cookie cutter builds. Also, grab cleanse instead of flash IMO.

Well it mainly hurt her. Q is basically not changed, her ult got turned into a spell so on-hits don't proc, and everything else is still kinda sucky.

The base-damage boost on level 3 ult helps a lot, and ult's suppose to kill people so not proccing lizard doesn't seem to matter. What do I know, though.

Overall I find Caitlyn to be a pretty good late-game DPS. Compared to most ranged DPS, she thrives in early jungle-fights with her passive + traps + enemies lining up for her Q. That can lead to some good pressure against their jungler where you can force then to concede buffs.

She falls behind tristana in terms of ranged-pewpew with escape, and is probably a lot worse than ezreal early on. Still, she strikes a good balance in between.

I have been playing her a lot recently and I gotta say, she DOMINATES Vlad in a solo lane. Every time I've gone up against one I came out ahead in levels, farm, kills, you name it.

On another note, what do you guys think about cleaver instead of ie? I find cleaver brings a lot of things she needs to the table. Plus with her crazy range it's easy to put stacks on people.

I was under the impression the crit animation for her ulti was a bug, it did the same damage, but had crit pop up for some reason.

Yeah I've actually scored 2 quadra kills now in 2 games with caitlyn. Granted it's normal games, but you just position yourself well and you have more range than other dps carries like ashe or MF so can deal quite a bit damage from behind your team. And her ult isn't as crappy anymore.

Yeah Cait does rape Vlad in lane. Really bad.

IDK she seems pretty strong to me now. I never lose lane with her and her q hits really hard now. But I've yet to play her in ranked, just been using her in normals.

its ironic that almost all the yordle champs hard counter caitlynn
teemo q + shrooms, poppy, veigar to some extent, tristana (dat range)
the only one she can do decently against is heimer, ironic because hes supposed to be the smartest

Only the cupcakes should be visible on the traps imo. Also it should taunt Yordle's when they get too close.

well that's why she invented yordle traps man. do you think anyone who wasn't getting owned by yordles would invent a yordle trap
