I bought her with RP (The Sheriff Pack)today at school bathroom with my laptop. And played one game cause I couldnt wait 'til after school. :D

Anyways, 9-3-12 first game, so she isn't that bad.

Ima try building a build for her.

Anyways, discuss.

I've only tried her for long enough to craft out early-game strategy. All of my games today were custom games that just tested her early-game power and her flaws.

She's an amazing solo top laner. She's much much better in the side lanes than in the mid lane, but she's better at soloing than at 1v2ing or 2v2ing. She's really squishy.

Her Q is amazing harass and farm. At only 50 mana at level 1, it's pretty spammable.

Her W is good for blocking off retreats and for trapping champions - not so much for sight. Sure, place one by Dragon if you want to, but it's better to be more aggressive with them.

Her E is FANTASTIC for jumping walls to escape or chase, while the knockback can also be used to chase or escape. It deals really good damage as well.

Her ultimate has obscene range but is a bit annoying to aim in teamfights - it gets blocked quite a bit, even vs. bots. >.>

The passive is what makes her so good at soloing top lane - standing in the brush makes her passive use just skyrocket. You can zone champions very efficiently, especially with the recent patch reducing the experience range.

As a starting item, I've tried Doran's Ring, Doran's Blade, Sapphire Crystal, and Meki Pendant. I feel like Sapphire Crystal is the way to go. It keeps her able to use her skills long enough to take that kill against the other mid and port back. Plus, it builds into Sheen, which I use on her.

Doran's Blade is recommended but it just doesn't give me the ability to spam early game that I need. Phreak tries to fix this by running MP5 glyphs and seals, but that doesn't solve much.

Jungling does NOT work on Caitlyn - she's too squishy in the beginning. She does take buffs down EXTREMELY quickly later on though.

Right now I'm building her Sapphire Crystal-->Sheen-->Mercury's Treads (Boots of Lucidity? Zerk greaves?)-->Phage-->Brutalizer-->BF Sword-->Infinity Edge-->Trinity Force-->Youmuu's-->Banshee's-->Guardian Angel

K, I'm done discussing.

From what I've seen her Ult scales EXTREMELY WELL with AD items. I did some quick calculations in my head during a practice game and came out with +2.0 per bonus attack damage, which makes me think she's pretty much the AD equivalent of Veigar.

Scales with bonus AD, not regular AD. Still, getting that bonus +250 AD is really good for your ult.
