I've been playing a bit of Cait recently and I do pretty good, however I'm not entirely comfortable with the item build.

I go 21/9/0 with ghost and flash. I feel that with E and traps you should never be caught entirely off guard so you should be able to use your summoner spells sparingly.
My runes at the moment are AP reds/quints and Mana regen yellow/blues.
This allows me to be able to continuously use my skills throughout the laning phase without drowning out of mana any time soon because Caitlyn can do a lot with just one of her abilities such as clear a wave, trap a bush or have an escape ready.

Anywho, the build. I usually go Blade, Zerkers/Treads, BT into IF however I feel that although the damage is great for her abilities I just think it trails off for auto attacking like in team fights. Although you should be on the outskirts of the fight just poking from safety, I think that instead of the mass damage of let's say I have a BT at the time, maybe a Ghostblade/Bruta would be better so I can spam the Q harder and have E a little quicker plus it does a fair amount of damage anyway plus even more armour pen.
However I got a shitload of coursework to do so I shouldn't play any time soon :[

What are Caitlyn's advantages/disadvantages? Basically, let's say your team asks for champs they play well, but the comp lacks AD ranged carry. When do you pick Caitlyn over Ashe/Tristana/MF?
Sorry for necro, but it's inevitable with this model : /

Well-played, Caitlyn dominates her lane against most champions thanks to traps, her Q and a mini-blink-slow. She also has 50 more range than nearly every other AD Carry and so wins those matchups. Her ult also has 2.0 AD scaling (!). That means with a fully charged BT, your ult does 400 damage with only 1 level and can't really be out run. Not to mention her Q has a 1.3 AD scaling ratio. You win lane, then take the tower.

Traps also help later on, such as around Baron fights or in the jungle. Immobilisation is so powerful when trying to catch someone out of position.
ModeratorA dream. Do you have one that has cursed you like that? Or maybe... a wish?

Just picked up cait since she was on sale. Evidently the meta has shifted, cait seems to be one of the most picked carries and along with kog is top tier. Anyone have some more recent tips for playing her?

First: Don't revive outdated threads.
Second: Read locodoco's posts in the new Caitlyn thread.
