User blog comment:Hidden Sniper/Nerf Cait's early, buff her late doing one simple thing/@comment-210.9.138.185-20110919120936

I agreee with the concept. Besides, the traps can be countered easily if you're pushing far beyond any laid traps. Just set them off while your allies are ahead to prevent problems later on. With the increase/decrease this won't be affected early game (because you won't have pushed that far anyway), but late game those few crucial moments coould really help while defending.
