Twitch

Master Yi
Damage Reduction on Meditate, invulnerable on Q. Gap Closer Movementspeed. Targeted Master Yi spawn to avoid Caitlyn Traps.
Syndra
Syndra outranges Caitlyn her autohits and most of her spells easily, thereby laning phase will be hard. Caitlyn should try to dodge most of the Syndra combos, and respect her oneshot potential once poked down on Syndra level 6.
Orianna
Orianna outranges Caitlyn her autohits and most of her spells easily, thereby laning phase will be hard. Caitlyn should try to dodge most of the Orianna ball combos and thereby poke Orianna with sneaky headshots and Caitlyn Q's.
Nasus
Caitlyn has a good time before Nasus level 6, thereby Nasus will become dangerious when he reached level 6 combined with wardens mail or any armor items (insane stat check combined with hard slow + attack speed slow). Recommended to run cleanse against nasus wither. Early advantage in lane is a need in this lane, cull start recommended.
Twisted Fate
Far Gap Closer ---> Punishes sidelaners and out of position players. Playing away from Caitlyn while forcing cleanse summoner spell.
Katarina
Gap Closer, Snowballs fast, Dagger zone's that have to be avoided. Medium Damage Presence.
Annie
Insane Damage with entire burst. (Has to be dealt with)
Ahri
Gap Closer, Cleanse or dodge Charms (really needed to win).
Elise
Burst Assassin with Crowd Control, immunity.
Zac
Far engage that is easy to land on Caitlyn, even when dodged with Q as follow up. Cut Down and/or giant slayer recommended.
Dr. Mundo
Mundo is Tanky, due to HP regen and W. ---> Lethality Caitlyn is depended on spikes and abilities, Cut Down and/or giant slayer recommended.
Swain
Swain E can punish Caitlyn really hard, thereby any movement speed and slow effect comes in effect after the snare, Cut Down and/or giant slayer recommended.
Kog'Maw
AP Kog'Maw with arcane comet can be hard to deal with for Caitlyn Mid, thereby recommended to rush vamp scepter into later BloodThirster. Kog'maw E poke is really hard to dodge and will outrange Caitlyn. Caitlyn will have good oneshot potential on 1/2 items already into Kog. Recommended to hardshove the wave into Kog'Maw if the teamcomps allow you to do so.
Lux
Lux into Caitlyn is a general matchup of poke style, Thereby recommended for Caitlyn to hard shove early waves. Recommended to build vamp scepter into late bloodthirster + cleanse(escape lux snare combo)or ghost(escape gank situation + dodge + chase).
Seraphine
Seraphine into Caitlyn is a general matchup of poke style, Thereby recommended for Caitlyn to hard shove early waves. Recommended to build vamp scepter into late bloodthirster + cleanse(escape Seraphine E snare / R )or ghost(escape gank situation + dodge + chase).
Anivia
Anivia has good wave clear on her level 6+ combined with a decent gank setup. Thereby her Passive can mitigate early game pressure from Caitlyn very well.(Recommended to start Cull) Caitlyn should always respond with E into Anivia Wall gank setup + Q stun. Caitlyn traps work very well into Anivia Passive as well.
Yone
Yone is a strong adc bruiser with good mobility, Thereby it is needed for Caitlyn to dodge his catching crowd controle ---> to prevent further damage and oneshots. This becomes fairly easy pre level 6 Yone, due to Caitlyn E into Yone 3rd Q. once Yone reaches level 6 it will be hard to dodge 3rd Q and R at once for Caitlyn. Other than this fact that you have to respect, it becomes a super easy free lane that Caitlyn can abuse. Yone E spawnpoint can be taken advantage of with Caitlyn W traps.
Vel'Koz
Vel'Koz into Caitlyn mid is an even matchup normally spoken, due to their skillshots. But Caitlyn has no pressure from Vel'Koz whenever kept distance, thereby she can pressure him well during the early lane phase to gain a lead.
Malzahar
Caitlyn has a free early lane into Malzahar and she should perma push into him if possible. Thereby malzahar has a bad gank setup untill he reaches level 6. Quicksilver Sash is needed to rush for Caitlyn to maintain safe in lane on Malzahar level 6+
Aurelion Sol
Aurelion Sol is a really easy matchup early on for Caitlyns insanely good early game. Thereby Aurelion Sol will outscale Caitlyn combined with having a more defensive stat line on top.
Sylas
Sylas the melee mage is a really easy matchup for Caitlyn, thereby Caitlyn has to maintain distance and make sure she always dodges Sylas 2de E. When done so, she has full control.
Ekko
Ekko the melee assassin is an easy matchup for Caitlyn. Whenever Ekko decides to engage with his E, Caitlyn should respond in time with Caitlyn E to stop Ekko his Passive. When this occurs Caitlyn has control over the fight. Thereby Caitlyn has a strong early into Ekko his weak early. Falling behind in this matchup will make things way harder, whenever ekko gains access on protobelt !!!
Zilean
Zilean has a weak early game which will get taken advantage of by Caitlyn. Thereby Caitlyn traps are good into Zilean R resurrection. Caitlyn should only be careful of Zilean his slow gank setup combined with double bomb crowd control (Cleanse recommended whenever felt like gank setup becomes an issue).
Karthus
Karthus is a very easy lane whenever you can shove him in at all times (whenever allowed teamcomp wise). Thereby its mandatory to dodge his Q's and maintain ur pressure during the entire lane. Karthus will always be useful during teamfights, so be careful with that. Recommended to buy edge of night into Karthus R, whenever this becomes a problem.
Corki
Corki has no pressure on Caitlyn other than his Carepackage and level 6 R. Thereby Caitlyn can take an easy early lead into the weaker corki mid. Later in the game this becomes a more even matchup depending on the skillshots and leads.
Galio
Galio the melee tank/mage with magic resist scalings will have a hard time into Caitlyn Mid. Thereby Galio his goal will be roaming with his R and form gank setup into Caitlyn whenever he gets ganked. Avoid this as Caitlyn and take your easy lane advantage as far as possible.

- Lack of consistent Damage - Lack of Damage into Tanks - Lack of Damage into Shielding / Healing - More usage of Skillshots
Lethality + AD Stack + Crit Caitlyn is using her Piltover Peacemaker and Ace in the Hole mostly to deal damage with. Thereby she prestacks Headshot Often. Due to this, Lethality '' Caitlyn will lack consistent damage overall combined with exposed treats in terms of armor/shielding/healing/removal of skillshots.
Introduction, Google Document.
❄️
Hello Everyone,
I'm Zero Macro aka Caitlyn Kiramman#Mid(Ingame name / EUW Server).
I peaked Challenger soloq in EUW server and I play LoL since the end of Season 3.
❄️
🌙
*This Guide is Very Detailed*
🌙
🧁
I made a Caitlyn *Mid* Guide *Lethality* on Google Documents with approximately 200 pages.
Here I will explain the most important counter measures for Lethality Caitlyn, focused on solo (lane) encounters.
That includes ---> Lethality Caitlyn into (Literally)Every Champion / Item choices + synergy / Runes / Macro / Micro / Important facts to improve gameplay and so on.
🧁
❄️
This guide has its personal armor shred page (shows damage output into certain armor types with common builds eclipse and Prowler's Claw)(OUTDATED BUT USEFUL)
I hope that the guide improved your lethality Caitlyn !!!
🧁
Adaptive Mindset + Short Note + FAQ + Updates
Think Adaptive on every decision. There is a reason why we take this for that.
(Threats show one of the hardest matchups we can possible face (Doesn't have to be in mid lane) --- Synergy is formed by having AP damage + CC + Peel + Value from heal / shields / any damage buff effects / removal of Crowd Control).
FAQ:
- Does this build work for Bot and Top lane ?
Yes it does work on Bot and Top lane.
- Where do I use my Minion Dematerializer?
Preferably use all 3 on caster minions to clear casters minions with 1, However... use it on canon minion to shove a wave fast when needed.
Changes:
14.08 on the Google doc.
Most important Fact(s)
Fact 1:
Lethality + AD Stack + Crit Caitlyn should always try to end up clearing waves, thereby entering fights with being ready.
Fact 2:
Targets revealed by will always take max damage from .
Fact 3: will grant true sight whenever enemies enter stealth during the channel. This can be used to spot stealthed entering encounters from enemies.
Fact 4:
Building Stacks towards will be increased (from 1) to 2 stacks each auto hit while standing in a .
Fact 5: allows Caitlyn to buffer another Ability during the animation.
