She gets outclassed by most champs unless you're good at positioning, then you can use her distance to poke safely.

Caitlyn dances around carefully and manages to land 2 auto attacks of poke.

In that time, Graves has unloaded his ult into a team, or Vayne has terrorized something, xP

True, though Graves has to been within 300-400 range for his stuff to work and anyone with a brain will CC Vayne mid-tumble, but Caitlyn has dat range. At least that's something right?

I think it depends on your elo honestly and what you plan on doing with her.

She is my main ranged AD, but that's for like 1000-1300 elo play.

If you duo Q with your Support, take Cait imo. She synergizes best with a lot of great supports. You just have to really work your traps. I love her with Blitzcrank. Also taric of course, even soraka is great because of mana to harass with your Q which out ranges turrets.

If you are VERY good at positioning. Using Cait's net to hop over walls is very important in solo Q. You can Q up a storm get your auto attacks in and when anti carry comes to kill you, pop over the wall and keep dealing damage with your awesome range. This works great near dragon/Baron/Wraiths. Trap the way in after hopping over too. Also being in brush helps your damage a lot.

I like her a lot, but she is hard to use and do reasonable damage in a fight.

If you are solo Q and either high elo >1400 or low elo <1000 you're def better off with Vayne. She is easier to use (her mechanics are similar to a lot of champs, (gap close + knockback). She does a lot of up front damage. Her ult is easy to use, her mana is easy to maintain. Plus she can be built differently to account for tank heavy teams. You would never build madreds on Cait, but against certain comps you might on Vayne.

I haven't played Graves so I don't know him well, but I know as Cait I usually beat him.

Just put Cait mid and **** on their AP Carry.

At least that's my theory. XD

Well tbh she does outrange some AP Carries (Sion, Veigar, Annie, Ryze, Viktor, Katarina, Kassadin for example) and could probably win lane. She would get tons of farm from jungle too, but then she doesn't much like being bursted from 100 > 0 :o

I played her on free week before and I did like the feel for her.

Duff had a good point thought about how she can only really auto attack, while more flavored champions like graves/sivir/vayne can just absolutely unload a ton of damage.

Exactly how much does caitlyn bring to a teamfight? I've only played a couple of games with her so I don't really have an in depth knowledge.


My main ADs would be tier 1: sivir tier 2: ezreal

Her teamfight is pretty much her weakest point compared to other AD carries since she doesn't have a steroid or much in the way of AoE damage.

Basically her teamfight strengths are:

-Long range
-Her passive, which gives pretty nice damage with some AD/AS
-Escape skill (which is barely even worth noting these days :P)
-Possibly her traps if you can get a lucky hit with them

Her ult is good if you can get a clear shot on someone trying to run from the fight.

Bear in mind she is still an AD carry though, and like any AD carry she will tear people apart when farmed and properly positioned. She certainly has a lot more damage than say, Ashe.
