Don't Feed Caitlyn -- Champion Spotlight Alternative (League of Legends)

Caitlyn is a very straightforward champion in terms of what she does and how she works (with a few small caveats on her Ace in the Hole mechanics). If you've practiced as an AD carry, it's not too difficult to pick her up, though paying attention to using bushes and trap placement will have a big impact on her success.

I took out a section in the champion notes that I wasn't totally confident in, but I'll put it here: Sivir seems to be a very strong laner against Caitlyn, not necessarily because she can completely shut down Caitlyn, but because she can completely ignore her. All of Caitlyn's abilities are easy to spell shield, and traps are mana cupcakes for Sivir. The only reason I didn't leave it in the movie is because there is still a base range difference, and Sivir overcomes that only by smart use of her Boomerang and Ricochet.

Standard ranged AD setup. Runes are Armor Pen/Flat Damage for reds and quints, along with flat Armor and Magic Resist in yellow and blue. 21/9/0 or 21/0/9, with an emphasis on all physical damage in offensive. Exhaust/Flash are always solid bets. Skill order is flexible on your situation, but Piltover Peacemaker loses it's value later in the game compared to simply auto-attacking, so maxing it first can give it more time to shine.

Infinity Edge is always a good bet. Bloodthirsters, Zeal/Phantom Dancers, Attack Speed/Merc Treads/Ninja Tabi for boots. Again, standard ranged AD items based on your situation (Last Whisper if they're stacking armor).


SERIES UPDATE
Sejuani, Jax, and Sivir are next up. Because of the huge addition of video content on my channel, I'm not sure how much faster I'm going to produce these Don't Feeds. However, I do still want to improve their release rate.

Again, I'm streaming now, right here on YouTube. Subscribe to my channel, follow me on Twitter, and check my channel from time to time. I'm now putting up replays and the full streams as well. Facebook soon? Probably!

Don't Feed is a video series that covers champions in greater detail than the Champion Spotlight. This series is descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning that I aim to provide you with solid information without telling you which items, runes, or masteries are best (as these frequently change). With this information, you can better play against these champions, and you may be interested in learning to play them. Even after more than a thousand games, I am still learning new things about these champions by making these videos, and I'm sure the vast majority of LoL players can learn a lot from these.

My goal is to provide these videos for all champions in League of Legends.

At the end, when he starts talking about subscribing his channel. Look at his items. Did he got an leviathan?

@TheLactobacillus ...and that's why u play as Jax.....you would have killed both....but then you would probably die from Ace-in-the-hole.... but that double would just make up for it.

Oh how much I missed this voice

[mineycrafty99]

Very nice guide to Caitlyn, that tip about the trap under Urgot, never even thought of that XD As to the build you have, not bad, but personally I go in for a frozen mallet for the slowing passive attacks, and boots of swiftness meaning you can chase down almost anyone.

On a 2 vs 1 fight against me while using Nocturne I took out one of the champs and flashed away at low health. Caitlyn tried to ace in the hole, but I used Shroud of Darkness and escaped. I felt like a boss. :D
