Quote \| PM \| +Rep by Khazem » December 22, 2011 7:03pm \| Report Good guide overall, a few things. - You should really consider Greater Seal of Armor for better trades/safer laning and MR glyphs (flat for laning against the likes of Sona or Tristana, scaling otherwise) for better survivability overall. - I personally think 21/9/0 is better than 21/0/9 just cause it makes your laning phase so much stronger. I know you mention this as alternative but in my opinion, 21/0/9 should be the alternative. - Consider maxing Yordle Snap Trap second for the reduced cooldown. It's very useful for dragon fights/brush control etc and you will rarely need reduced cooldown on 90 Caliber Net in the laning phase. - Quoted: hitting the tank is silly This is just wrong really. Not often will you be able to freely hit the enemy AD/AP carry if they're somewhat careful in their positioning. You generally want to hit the best target possible as long as you don't put yourself in too bad of a position and quite often, you will HAVE to hit the tank.

Anyways, I know Greater Seal of Armor works great and I do consider taking it myself. Besides that, I won't take MR Glyphs, since the support shouldn't be my problem. I know that 21/9/0 works great, but I mainly pick 21/0/9 to gain the movement speed and increased buff time. ( I will play a few games with 21/9/0 and decide). I won't max Yordle Snap Trap first, I find 90 Caliber Net more important, as it reduces the enemies movement speed for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds. I'm not focused on the Cooldown but the movement speed reduction to kite and get away from dangerous situations. I will change the part about hitting the tank, but Rammus with Thornmail will backfire. It would mean a lot to me, if you could drop a vote as well. Thank you.

Quote \| PM \| +Rep by IceCreamy » December 22, 2011 11:49pm \| Report Nicely done :) I am really interested in knowing how you managed to get that layout in the list of support champions you usually lane with. Tell me tell me :D Good masteries, decent items, I'm just a little confused about your runes. I would really prefer flat Armor Seals and AD/lvl or AS/lvl Glyphs, as well as AD/lvl Quints. Quoted: I do not mind Lux its just sad that people are starting to see her as a support instead of an AP-Carry in the mid-lane. :3 Anyways there are some minor coding and grammar/spelling errors, but that's it. +1 well deserved :) New to LoL? \| New to Making Guides? \| Column Help \| "free" Guide Reviews Thanks so much for this sig, eddie119!

Quote \| PM \| +Rep by NoobyPower » December 23, 2011 12:06am \| Report You know, if you had an NA account, my Tristana would beat your *** down (no kidding, she will) with those runes, and I'm dead serious about this. Attack speed isn't needed on Caitlyn, because even with more of the Headshot procs, you would be pushing your lane, leaving you vulnerable. When I play Tristana, that situation is advantageous for me because generally people are cought off-guard after pushing a lane, and that gives me the window to bring the pressure on you without endangering myself. I can't really explain how I do it, it's all in my head... (I think that's because Tristana has become an extension of me >.> I've played her so much that everything I do with her is almost second nature...) So really, you should be getting Greater Seal of Armor. As for Greater Glyph of Magic Resist, if you ever come across a Tristana who knows her stuff, you are dead, very dead. Her burst is all magic damage, and if she ever lands it on you, you're basically screwed. Oh, and it's great against more offensive supports like zilean] or [[janna. 21/9/0 setup > 21/0/9 setup. Personally since the new masteries were introduced, 9 points in Utility is a joke compared to what you get from the Defense tree. It will make your early game so much stronger. Also, you really don't need that extra movement speed. Anyonewho knows how to play an AD carry knows how to position themselves, and extra movement speed is hardly needed. In saying this, I agree with all of what Khazem said. Anyways, excellent guide, great descriptions, great pictures, and good formatting. I would clean it up a bit and make your chapters more consistent in terms of formatting. This is a guide that Caitlyn players should go to. +1 for now, but I really want to see where this ends up ^_^ Did I help you out? +Rep me :) Thanks to jhoijhoi for the sigs!
