You don't necessarily have to make Caitlyn literally one-shot her opponents, though I think it would be an interesting exercize in trying to implement that in a healthy manner. Putting aside her viability, AP even now has the potential to deal literally all of her damage within one second and pop squishies. The catch is that she has to spend 4 seconds carefully setting up her combo while dealing very little damage, which is why she gets to lay down so much instant burst. Implementing a similar gameplay paradigm on Caitlyn, by allowing her to deal massive burst given enough preparation, would allow you to implement one-shot mechanics, or similar levels of burst, while still giving Cait's opponents tons of opportunities to react to her.
