Caitlyn is technically easy. In fact she was one of the first champs I managed to play with any sort of effectiveness when I started playing the game and didn't know the genre much less mechanics.

The part that makes her hard is that. You still have to learn positioning. You have to use your tools wisely. You have only one real harass tool. Your ult is an execute only and has to be used very carefully as well. Oh. And she doesn't melt tanks really. That last one is the biggest problem I run into when I play her.

If the enemy team tanks I'm pretty hosed. The passive just deals bonus AD. And tanks always wear armor. The Q deals less damage the more targets it has to hit. W and E scale very meekly from magic so it can't hurt anyone with those. And the ult can be completely blocked by a large tank in the middle of team fight not to mention that you could get easily interrupted in the fight.

Those words also come from watching other people play her. Despite her range they get grabbed all the time, they don't know how to win 1v1 duels as her, they don't always know what items to buy, they ult all the time and usually on full health targets or more than enough health, bad placement of the snap traps, Underuse of the snap traps, I would even say that putting points in the skills is a trap people fall into. You max Q and you run out of mana in a couple uses. Max W and you wasted skill points. Yes max E. It's not always nessacary especially when you have a full tilt harass lane but if the enemy has lots of gap closers or you need to get out of lane at a last second you will want that E up.

You'd think flash will save you. Not as effective as just E'ing into them and getting away all normal like.

I know most people consider her easy and she is easy but i've played her long enough to know that certain circumstances make her much harder and she's not a auto pilot champ in a kill lane or when there's really aggressive junglers lurking.
