Faster DPS champions are designed to ruin his life. I've seen his gameplay, he really takes his time to do things -- Lucian and Vayne will be running around him in circles while critting for 1/3rd of his HP per shot while firing dozens of shots by the time he'll have fired 4. Plus the only "combat" skill he has is his Q -- aside from that he really doesn't like to be touched or approached, in contrast to more mobile ADCs that still do more damage (just in smaller hits) and welcome any tank that's runnign at their face without backup.

In that sense, he's much more of an actual sniper-assassin than Caitlyn, who's actually quite well suited for close combat and active area denial. Cait can place 5 traps and set up shop next to her support and start unloading 1500dmg crits on anything that steps on the traps like noone's business. Varus can still poke from afar and keep the enemy team controlled while he picks them off. Graves can still get right into Jhin's face and blow him up before he can say "art". Kog and Twitch can still melt his entire team by the time he has set up one trap. Trist is still extremely safe and can take turrets 5 by 5, Jinx is still the "I do everything, but give me one kill and I turn it into a penta + 2 turrets" and Quinn is still the "hi Xerath, I was bottom 3 seconds ago and now I'm in your face" adc.

His own traps, unlike Cait's, are meant to be placed by predicting the enemy. You can't make the enemy team afraid to move anywhere without vision (Teemo) and you can't really cut off entire objectives and kill anything that comes anywhere near them (Cait) but if you plan carefully where the enemy will be, and your team helps you push them to that spot, they're already dead. "Perfect" murders: everything is predetermined but the murder itself.

If you just spam traps they'll just walk out of them, the root doesn't do too much damage and his Q is best for farming -- you have very specific tools to make the deaths happen: traps, a root and four valuable bullets. Everything needs to be predetermined like a theatrical play, else you're gonna find yourself reloading while Graves 2-shots you, or ulting from an uncomfortable range while Lucian LOLOLOLOLs around you, scoring double-700 crits twice a second.
