User blog comment:Kelly.miiko/Caitlyn compared to other carries/@comment-3145151-20110806082511

I understand the point. I think, that indeed, Caitlyn isn't worse than these carries. She is just a bit other, but I also know the reason why people still don't like her that much.

As you said, she has huge range. I love it. It allows you to focus on damage, as it's not that easy to get you and you can always run away with E(+flash)+trap. That's her strength.

However, I do not agree with farm. Last-hitting doesn't really depend on character you play, unless this character has some strange or slow animation of attack(like soraka does). It's just about waiting for minions' health to get low and to hit them. She is truly the great pusher, but it's not that useful early. You don't really wanna push, as it helps their jungler and prevents yours from ganking. Still, her Q is nice.

Utility. Traps are nice. Net is also nice. The only problem with net is, that it pushes you away - which is also its strength. Sometimes, when you chase your opponent, you have to decide: to slow him with E, or to use E to get closer to him.

And it's all about her ultimate. It deals huge single target damage, but isn't really viable, as anyone can take it instead of your target. However, I also think that it's because people doesn't really know how to use this ult. Most Caits use it for ks or something, I like to use it to kill escaping enemy, or... to scout enemies like Shaco or Twitch. Seriousely, even when shaco uses his Deceive, he is still visible to you as long as ultimate is on him. That allows your team to chase him, I think it's really useful.

Btw. nice post.
