E's cooldown goes from 20 sec down to 8 sec at rank 5. That's huge. W's cooldown goes from 18 sec down to 10 sec at rank 5. That's not too bad either. Additionally, the slow duration goes up from 1 to 2 seconds, but that shouldn't matter too much. All the other stats can pretty much be ignored for this. I would say that it is more useful to be able to set up 3 traps in 16 seconds, so I max W over E. It fits her playstyle: Siege the enemy base. | ||

Fishnet is primarily an escape move, which should only need to be used once in a while, so the reduced cooldown isn't super important. However, being able to place cupcakes down more often (and stronger cupcakes) let's you zone your opponent more effectively (the traps hurt more, and you can replace them quicker) which is generally more useful then having a mini-dash on a shorter cooldown. | ||

By the time you're maxing your second skill, you're thinking about teamfights, and not just laning anymore. As an AD carry I'd rather have the shorter net cooldown to better kite someone who's diving me, rather than the shorter CD snare to to chain off some teammate's CC that I might not actually be able to reach anyway. EDIT: has anyone considered leveling them evenly? It keeps their CDs virtually the same, which means that as far as defensive CC goes, you could use your own nets to lead into a W snare when kiting someone. | ||

Second, I know it's not terribly efficient, but I try to level up W and E evenly, until I feel I need one more than the other. If I'm getting ganked a bunch, I go E because it's a much better GTFO option. If I'm mostly 1v1'ing (especially against melees), W is much better because it's so easy to zone people exactly where you want them, and to give you safe spots where you can trap chasers. In an ideal situation, I take E more, since the mobility is great and it's very unlikely that you need to slam down 3 traps really quickly like that. If you just remember to hit W when it's off CD, it's never really too hard to keep 3 down at once. Also, I've kind of gotten into the habit of going Blade -> Boots -> BFS -> Zeal -> IE/BT -> PD. I thought it was really good getting that extra speed earlier, but I have to go back and agree that upgrading the BFS is much better, as you need the extra damage. Honestly, though, I feel that the Bloodthirster has more to offer than IE. Yes, the crit is nice and you don't need to farm IE after every death, but for the most part, Cait farms so easy that you generally don't need to worry about it, and I don't feel she benefits from crit as much as other champions until she gets more of it. The lifesteal sustain is just, in my opinion, way too good to pass up for a chance of extra damage. I could be wrong, though, and I end up getting IE anyway, just usually after PD. | ||

With Cait, you typically want to set up 3 traps near an enemy turret and whittle it down safely. Being able to set this up in 16 instead of 40 seconds seems pretty huge to me. I also prefer to lock down enemies with traps over E-ing away. Better control of teamfights, better for focusing people down, and the enemy can't just switch to another target (assuming it's a melee). Kinda worth a mention: Both Westrice and Chaox have Cait guides on Solomid and both max W over E in their skill orders. | ||

- Your Q has longer range than your auto, try to always get as many autos in and Q at the end, however your Q takes time to charge up so if you can hit multiple people or it's a sure kill then just use it. Q also does more damage than auto. - Caitlyn is an extremely standard AD carry. You need to be able to animation cancel/orb walk very well with her. There's no Tris Q or Ashe slow to bail you out of microing. In lane you need to get as much out of your autos as possible. Last hit and auto the shit out of your opponents. This might be preference but even though I right click to last hit with some champions I NEVER right click with cait. ALWAYS attack move click creeps and champions. - People are generally too passive with her in lane. You can hide in bush for more crits, but staying outside of the bush will allow you to auto people more often. You can seriously kill everyone with pure autos pre-6 as long as your support knows what's going on. Caitlyn actually requires a decent amount of micro and reaction time. You need to click fast to kite and hit your targets. Everything else about her is extremely standard. I run the exact same setup as locodoco except for wriggles. Btw once I was at base alt tabbed out then when I tabbed back locodoco died to one of my traps I placed randomly 20min ago to give me free gold, thnx loco. | ||

Kinda worth a mention: Both Saintvicious and Chaox have Cait guides on Solomid and both max W over E in their skill orders. Good point there. Indeed, three traps can shut down a turret choke pretty effectively. There are, however, champions that they're just plain not good against. Anyone who can just 'port over them, like Ez or Trist, will just laugh when you try to put them down. In that regard, I feel that Net is much better. Like I said in my post, I don't always do one or the other, I think it's one of those things that varies based on the match and you need to be able to call an audible on. Traps are more useful in a variety of situations, but sometimes Net will save your life. | ||

And I was under the impression that Chaox's Solomid guides were all semi-troll, given that when asked about whether he actually used the Irelia setup in his guide, his answer was along the lines of "hell no", and given that he suggests Zeal before completed BF item in every one of his ranged carry guides. | ||
