Introduction

Why pick Caitlyn?
She's an extremely safe pick due to her long range, waveclear, and escape. You first pick her every game without worry of being countered. Her kit is geared towards early game, so if you ever want to get fed but feel you're like me and not very good at laning, Caitlyn is probably the way to go.

Midgame
After you've taken the other laner's tower, you can begin roaming, try and help lanes that are having trouble and take their towers too. If nothing is happening (Its not safe to continue pushing, or no one is grouped), just find an open lane and farm. Farming is extremely important as an ADC since it helps you get your items to dominate teamfights. However, look on the map, if your team is all walking to one place, chances are, they all want to do something. Do not neglect your team for more farm, go to help them with their defense or siege. There's no point in being fed if you don't fight.
At this point in the game, teamfights will start to happen and I'd like to explain how to teamfight as Caitlyn. STAND AT MAX ATTACK RANGE FROM THE ENEMY. Like I said before, Caitlyn will lose 1v1s to just about any ADC. You don't need to focus their ADC, their APC, or whatever your team says to focus. You, as an ADC, should just worry about staying alive to constantly deal damage. I don't care if the front of their team is a fed


Also, with all these champs trying to dive you, kiting becomes essential. Don't just stand there autoattacking while they kill you. After you see the bullet come out of your gun, right click where you want to go, then count out how long it takes for your next attack to come out (One second divided by your attack speed), and after that time is up, auto attack again, then when the bullet comes out, you know what to do. Using Shift + Right Click or A + Left Click (Attack Move) might make this easier for you so try it out in a custom game or something.
Lategame
Pretty much the exact same advice from before, but now I'd like to add some more advice. Don't push out too far. Midgame, everyone is spread out so its usually safe to farm since you have vision of everyone else, but late game, if you have no vision of the other team, chances are, they're coming to kill you while you're separated from the team, and a dead ADC at 40 minutes is almost always a lost game. Just stick with your team 24/7 and you should be fine. I'd also like to advise you and your team to stay away from bottom lane after about 25-30 minutes since if the other team sees your team at bot lane, they'll almost always go for a free Baron, putting your team at a severe disadvantage in the next fight.







Also, if you ever see someone teleporting in, put a trap under whatever they're teleporting for to make sure they don't do anything for a while.
