thanks

So on the first page of the guide it shows a runebuild with sorcery second runes. But a bit later on on the bit where it goes deeper into why to use the runes, it has inspiration second runes? Which ones are the right one?

The ones at the top, though both are fine.

CAITLIN GOT BUFFED IN THE NEW PATCH SHES USABLE AGAIN

good

Tried Caitlyn with all kinds of runes after pre-season kicked in, and imo based on suggested items she's far behind other carries.
Are the items guess work based on crit chance, or did you sim it?

You're right, Cait is a bit weak at the moment. I have tested Cait builds but I actually didn't like Firecannon second so I've swapped away from that for now since Stormrazor seems to be better.

Thanks so much for this! This is the only Cait guide I have used since I started playing.

Thoughts on Q-max Cait? I know W is most typically the preferred max but I know some who max Q out for lane dominance

(625) |

Q max is definitely better overall for lane dominance than W max, but a large part of that is the increased pushing power. With 3 points in Q it's enough that with a you can kill caster minions with just Q-auto, so that's the point where I feel that even more waveclear isn't as important (it'll help with melee minions still, but caster minions will still be Q-auto no matter what, so it doesn't increase your waveclear as much as the previous points do).

Q max is better in lane while W max is much better in team-fights and tower-siege scenarios, so by splitting points to have 3 early points in Q and then W maxed at level 10, you kinda get the best of both worlds by playing laning phase with Q max when Q max is most important, but then switching to W max once it becomes less important.

If we're just straight up discussing 5 points in Q vs 5 points in W, then I would advocate Q max for the stronger laning phase, but IMO the split I have in the cheat sheet is the best combination.

No way W max is preferred. Though I have heard of people maxing W after some points in Q in lanes with low kill potential.

o ur right

i think q max is standard rn but i remember seeing w max being popular a while back (forgot when)

W max was popular a while back, but when I was researching skilling orders for this guide I couldn't see anyone using it anymore, and when I was experimenting myself it just didn't feel right playing with no points in Q, as much as I liked the early maxed traps. I assume it's fallen out of favour as people have finished experimenting with post-rework . The only skilling orders I still see are full Q max (the most popular, though IMO not quite the best), and 3 Q points into W max.
