There's many reasons to why she's being played a lot. One is that she has massive range, and except for two champions (right off the top of my head, at least), she has the longest range in the game on her auto-attacks, at 650 range. Tristana has to wait until she's Level 12 to beat her range, and Kog'Maw only needs to hit W. Annie is very close in her auto-attack range, with 625, however. But in terms of Level 1 auto-attack range, Caitlyn is the champion to beat.

In addition, she's safe as hell to play with, because of this massive range. Her ult is (and I need to get this checked, so don't quote me on this) the longest single-target spell in the game. At Level 3, her ult is 3000 range. She can ult you from her tower to your tower, essentially.

Also, I don't know if anyone discussed this, but she also has great comeback power. If a Caitlyn isn't doing that great, they don't need to worry, they just be patient and farm up for a while, until they get a little more of their build. If you don't understand what I mean about comeback power, here's a little example: Have you ever had a game where you were doing really bad, then you suddenly start doing really well and your score is positive. For example, when the laning phase ended this one game I had playing Caitlyn, I was 0-3 (I'm very up and down in League.) However, when I was done with the game, I was 15-5.
