"I respect your effort of making a guide of one of your favorite champs"... More like respecting this guy's effort for making a n00b of himself.

I play my main Vayne and Master Yi everyday and your build sucks buddy. Your first item should be Doran's Ring, the extra Mana Regen is great for spamming your abilities, especially your "E" ability - I max that out first cause not only it'll slow your enemy incredibly, it provides an extra knockback just in case you change your mind about engaging and run away from that squishy Yordle. Also, with your Boots of Swiftness, you will have no problem chasing that squishy Yordle.

The Doran's Ring will also make your enemies puzzled and will underestimate your potential - additionally, the Doran's Ring provides extra Ability Power for your "E" and "W" ability to hit even harder, make sure to spam those for maximum DPS.

Secondly, buy a skin for Caitlyn, your enemies will know that you play her a lot and automatically think you're too pro with her.

Another thing is TWO BLOODTHIRSTERS....come on man, that's n00b status, get FOUR Bloodthirsters, you'll be healing faster than Soraka with 5 Rabadon's Deathcaps. Also, why get Clairvoyance??.... Real Men facecheck bushes, your enemies will run away when they realize your Caitlyn has no Items to defend against CC....its a sign that that Caitlyn is going balls in and your enemies will run away in fear from that bush - not even Garen will try to engage you.

Ignore these n00bs commenting and listen to me, your dear Due que-ing friend.

First thing first, I respect your effort of making a guide of one your favorite champs - gj.

Now then, I have some opinions I like to share that I think should improve your guide. One thing is that her "Q" ability is a great harassing tool against laners and great for clearing minions waves when necessary. So you should really max that out first.

Max-ing out her traps - to me - is not the best idea because it shouldn't be used as part of your main damage output, its more of used as utility - like have 3 extra wards to protect your fragile Caitlyn in lane, it is a life saver. Secondly, if you heard of the Taric - Cait combo lane, its great. You stun with Taric first, then Cait puts her trap underneath for extra CC. It should be a guranteed kill or a guranteed recall for that enemy champion.

As for your build, it seems more like a snowball build and lacks any defense whatsoever. The extra Bloodthirster is not necessary nor is the extra Phantom Dancer. Sure its cool and fun when you are fed, but it does not work that way in most serious games. You should really change it to at least a Banshee's Veil - almost necessary in every situation.

Overall, your guide is very informative but I thought the build was lacking. Good job though.

Your Piltover Peacemaker is level 1 until you hit level 8?...really?...Do you enjoy hitting like a wet noodle?...Do you really expect to harass your your snap traps? - "if you spam these traps and your enemy keeps hitting them then your going to have a nice little dent in their health later on." Let me let you in on a little secret...SNAP TRAPS ARE VISIBLE!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Yup. All i'm saying is that 50% lifesteal is... unnecessary? I usually find that just one is sufficient.
I usually find that boots, plus one phantom dancer, and teleport, are all that I need to be effective in getting around the map.
Obviously just personal opinions and differing play styles though.
I woudn't worry about college. I didnt' even realize english wasn't your first language. Your english is better than at least half the college students I know. Lmao.

i used u? dang i tried to type everything out but i mite have missed a few spots here and there. and i know my english skills r poor, i had english summer school every year of highschool and i fear being in college this coming semester. with 2 bloodthirsters you have a 50% lifesteal and with crits that can reach over 1k (might be 2) you get a large amount of health back very quickly and this is really the saving grace of the build especially when you crit on your headshot proc. now i said that if armor is a problem use a black cleaver but if it isnt a problem just stick with what the rest of the guide says. cleaver may give u some dmg and speed but phantom gives u the extra move that you need. i also take boots of swiftness for that reason since cait is a pretty slow moving champ.

thanks for the feedback though!

TLDR......I jk of course. This wasn't super long. ;)

Alright. A couple things, but before I start, don't take anything... 'mean' I say too personally.
Its not a bad build. However, I find if you swap the Boots of Swiftness for the attack speed ones, and swap a Bloodthirster for a Madreds (the lifesteal is capped, and after awhile anymore is superfluous), you'll find you do more damage overall, as well have the same, if not slightly more survivability.
I also like to swap one of your Phantom Dancers for a Black Cleaver, which adds damage, and I'm not losing much, if any attack speed, since i'm using different boots.
Despite that, its not the least viable Cait build I've ever seen, and i've no doubt it destroys people.

Now, remember how I warned you not too take anything I say too personally? Because this is the part that comes into play.
-Every time you use 'u' instead of 'you', i want to shoot myself.
-Your punctuation is atrocious.
However, there is one redeeming quality to your writing. Your grammar isn't terrible. ;)

Anyways, just some things to think about, hope I helped/gave you something to think about.
