How goes it fellow LoL players. I am fairly new to LoL and I have stayed to primarily I.bot games with a couple of friends and they have become fairly easy. I decided to step up and play with real people and I have lost all games so far(5 so not to many yet). The champion I love to play is Caitlyn and I was wondering if anyone out there hopefully Caitlyn players would have any advice on how really play her well. I understand it takes time to get proficient with a champion but your commentary is greatly appreciated.

Caitlyn is the champion with the most range in the game. Wich is also her biggest strenght IMO. That's why you need to outrange other champion. Stay as ar as possible from them, when they get closer to you, back off a bit or use your net thing to back off faster. Try to use bushes and trap to your advantage. In no situation should you be in melee range of an enemy.

Always try to have your enemies on the tip of your range. I'm no pro caitlyn, but i'm not bad with her either. Maybe a caitlyn player could comfirm/complete what i said.

P.S. Welcome to LoL's community

+rep me and you'll get good karma, wich means you won't be reincarnated into a rock! Isn't that awesome?

But yes this idea has been discussed more than Pam Anderson's tits in a plastic surgeons office.

The general AD carry build is 1-3 Doran's Blades, Berserker Greaves, Bloodthirster (if you're not dying much and are farming well) OR Infinity Edge (safer), Phantom Dancer.

After that it varies a little, you can go with Banshee's Veil to give you some defence and reduce the chance of getting caught, go with Last Whisper for a lot of armour pen, or go with whichever item out of Bloodthirster/Infinity Edge that you didn't get earlier if no one's building armour and you just want flat damage. Black Cleaver is also an okay choice if you want a little bit of everything (AD, AS and Armour Reduction).

I got a penta kill on her with Berserker's Greaves, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Phantom Dancer, Black Cleaver and Guardian Angel :)

Also good on her would be Banshee's Veil and Mercury's Treads.

Anyways, just look around and you will find plenty of builds and guides for her, good luck and have fun! (hint, look in my signature? :D)

Just a word on moving from bot games to people, bots work in fairly predictable ways and make poor decisions so being gutsy and going to tons of kills almost always pays off.

Keep in mind that against players neither of these things are true. Be as careful as possible while in lane. Just farm unless you have an easy and convenient opportunity to harass. There's obviously a lot more to it but as far as laning with caitlyn goes I think its a good place to start.
Thanks goes to JEFFY40HANDS for a gorgeous Karma sig
Hey, you should help me on acquiring Medieval Twitch!! :D

Alistar + Caitlyn is a probably one of the worst combo you can face at the moment

Taric cait is good. Taric Vayne is also good.

Janna Vayne is nasty, would never have known if not for Mowen.

You gotta play the different lanes appropriately though.

Cait is war of attrition.

Vayne is hostile take over >:P
