She has more range on her autoattacks than any other champion except for late game Tristana. You can use this to your advantage in lane and in teamfights by harassing enemies from a safe distance.
Imo her Q actually does great damage if you're levelling it first. Try to predict the person's path when you aim it and you'll hit them at least some of the time.
Traps are basically used to try and create a defensive wall around yourself. Put them in the bushes or in a line in front of you to help with zoning and make sure you don't get jumped on.
Her net is an escape, don't ever use it for damage. When you need to get away just aim it in the opposite direction to where you want to go. Can be used to go over most walls including baron and dragon.
If you want to dominate early game, go bot with someone like Taric or Alistar, wait for them to use their stuns, then put a trap right behind the enemy player's feet while they're stunned. Almost guaranteed kill or wasted flash. Otherwise just last hit minions and try to harass with autoattacks and Q.
Also, she is only bad lategame in comparison to some other AD carries. She's still an AD carry, which by default makes her very strong lategame. And she does a lot more damage than say, Ashe.
PS. What build/runes/masteries are you using? =P

I bought Caitlyn a few days ago, and tbh, she feels like she sucks. Apparantly her end game sucks balls but her early game is supposed to be one of the best in the game, although it doesnt feel like it. It seems as if she does everything other carries like graves and MF do, but a lot less damage and more squishy. What should I be doing to dominate early game? Q does ****py damage and is super easy to avoid, traps are basically useless if the person has a brain, and the net is just... meh. I honestly cant do anything to other champs, whereas with graves and MF I can do what caitlyn does but just way more damage. What does caitlyn do that makes her special? What am I doing wrong?
Do you play on EU or US?
I dunno how to easily explain Cait by words, but I'm willing to show you in a game, she's the best AD ranged Carry so far and her lategame is stonger than people think.

If i made a helpful comment on your guide/build, then hit that +rep button. or don't, its not like i care.
ALL HAIL QUEEN CHRYSALIS!
Nice thing about Caitlyn is that her range allows her to constantly poke people. Plus if you constantly make sure you have 3 traps on the ground it can bug the people youre laning against. Ow and your Q does less damage if you hit more targets, so if you hit one minion or a group of minions it differs in amount of damage. Apart from that just try and poke them till they are low. Then use ur r. Also make sure you poke them with your headshot :) (and if you are top or bot, go stand in the brush to trigger your headshot more)

If I helped you in any way, please don't forget to +rep :)
Also never forget you can use E during Q, bsic cait trick, the enemy jumps at you? use Q and immediatly use Ethen place trap where you land, you just defennded yourself, ran and damaged the enemy.
