I can play every other ranged carry just fine but Caitlyn is just awkward for me I don't know if it's her range, attack animation or skills I just can't play her right. What am i doing wrong?

Are you playing aggressive early?

When I first picked up Caitlyn I too found her to just be awkward, and I couldn't get a hang on her either. Then I realized she needs to be aggressive pretty much the entire laning phase for her potential to be utilized. It obviously depends on your opponents as well but generally speaking Cait is an early game bully and should be used as such.

Believe.

She's easy. Probably the easiest ranged carry.
Just beat the **** out of your lane and snowball to victory.

Agree with Searz, I don't know how you could go wrong with Cait.

Caitlynn is preeeeetty easy...
1) Scout w/ traps
2) Right click enemy champ
3) Press R
4) ???
5) Profit

Considering how outstanding her early game damage and range is, harassment should be safe and easy. She has a very responsive attack animation, so farm farm farm farm farm.

Aggression is pretty key to snowballing your early game.

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.

I guess the only trick could be traps.

Just use them for both defense and zone control.

You can cut off key points in lane and gain control of bushes, making it very difficult for your opponents.

Caitlyn is a sniper. She's all about positioning more so then everyone else.
