Lethality Cait has godlike poke and high single target damage, especially if someone steps into a trap, because he will get the Headschot + trap bonus + full damage Q right into the face. And the ult is scaling pretty well with bonus AD, making it almost oneshot squishies.

The DPS however isn't quite good. Because of the lack of attackspeed, decent long cast times and the reliance of her spells she isn't that good on the ADC role as other Lethality ADC's. MF and Lucian can apply consitant damage even without Attackspeed because of their DPS ults, AA resets and low cast times. Jhin's DPS is high enough because the damage he deals is just immense. Cait doesn't really have these traits.

Because of the lack of attackspeed she isn't going to have her headshot up quite often (outside of hitting her net or her trap) and the non-trap headshots will deal less damage aswell, because of the lack of crit chance. Lethality Caits spells deal massive damage, but arent consitant enough.

I would recommend to play her midlane instead. She is having enough range to keep up with mages and early on has enough DPS via AA's to bully most of them (same as Lucian - Ori match up). Her ult also can give her semi roaming abilities. And in late game she fullfills the role of a high damage poking mage with high sieging abilites, just that she deals physical damage instead of magic damage.
