What makes Caitlyn dangerous
Caitlyn out-ranges every other ADC, poking with her Q and setting traps (W) that root you into an empowered headshot for big damage. She dominates the laning phase and pushes for a lead, then snipes with her long-range ultimate. She's weak if you can close the gap or dodge her traps and headshot setups.
How to play against Caitlyn
- 1Don't step on her traps — they root you into a free empowered headshot. Watch the ground in bushes and around her, and path around them.
- 2Close the gap. Caitlyn is weak up close with no escape besides her net (E). Dive her with mobility or engage once she uses her net.
- 3Her headshot and Q poke are her main damage — space so only minions eat her Q and don't stand next to a trap.
- 4Her ultimate is a long-range shot that allies can body-block. Stand behind your support/tank to eat her execute for you.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Very weak up close — only her net for escape.
- ✓Traps and headshots are dodgeable/avoidable.
- ✓Squishy; hard CC and dives punish her.
- ✓Ultimate can be body-blocked by allies.

E
90 Kalibrelik AğCaitlyn hedefini yavaşlatan ağır bir ağ fırlatır. Tüfeğinin tepmesiyle, Caitlyn geri savrulur.

Itemization
Caitlyn is a crit AD marksman who wins with range. Close the gap with mobility and hard CC, and use body-blocks against her ult. Attack-speed slows (Randuin's, Frozen Heart) blunt her DPS in extended fights.
