One useful tip for Caitlyn is that her ult can be really useful to use for just general poke in lane if the enemy ADC thinks they are safe just farming under tower. It can make it just a bit more dangerous for them to allow the wave to push back into the lane. It's free nearly unavoidable damage after all so only saving it for kills isn't always necessary if it forces them into the bad situation of having to risk pushing into lane at low health or having to base while losing minions to tower while Caitlyn gets free tower plates. He didn't really mention it in the video, but Caitlyn's best strategy is often trying to farm tower plates as fast as possible as she can get them much easier than most ADCs with her great wave clear and headshot damage. Even if you die from a gank or two while pushing waves into tower, you're probably going to be still way ahead in gold since they'll lose minions to tower and you'll have extra plates. It's still kind of difficult to gank Caitlyn since she can just E away so easily. So always warding river is a priority to give yourself time to react to any ganks. It'll also put pressure on the enemy jungler to have to deal with Caitlyn instead of farming or ganking other lanes.
this came at the right time. learning caitllyn and im mediocre with her. I find it hard to bully in early laning bc i get traded back and become half health or lower = (. I guess my spacing is just rly bad. and then i fall behind. Is lethality cait good still? when is it good to use?
Lethality Cait is still good now, just make sure to use it when the opponent team are all squishies. Collector is the first item to build now since the Ghostblade nerf.
I try as much to dominate earlier in the game...then later on I just sneak around to help destroy towers. Been practicing with bots alot and does help me against pvp.
I don't understand what you mean about titanic being too hard to use... like its just not lol. If you have ever played old Caitlyn with the headshot autocancels its basically the same concept just easier to execute. Caitlyn really only does damage with her headshots so getting that instant burst feels unreal. Also the extra wave clear in mid game with titanic also feels really nice. The normal crit build is fine but titanic feels in a lot of the gaps for Caitlyn. Shes not ordinally able to build any tank items as a crit adc, her wave clear is ok but not the best, and her dps without guaranteed cc for her traps is lack luster at best until super late game.
The effect itself is good, but you only get access every couple AAs, which is a potential error source, and the stat profile just sucks, which is really big
I mean if you take into account how fights are actually playing out, there is a lot of down time. You will (in a prolonged fight) get two procs out of it. You are timing with your headshots anyway which is fine. If you are dedicated front line killer then you probably dont want titanic. From my experience, you go titanic to deal with people engaging on you (bruisers, assassins, etc.) which is a pretty common occurrence. You get extra survivability and can burst really quickly with double headshot. Caitlyn literally feels terrible to play right now without it imo.@@MissFortuneDaBes
@@KittyPurro They already nerfed titanic cait. And the other two items dont make sense for an ADC. She needs other items, they are way more important. MAYBE for Lethality cait. but i dont think so. Lethality cait Ghostblade is a good item, Opportunity and Axiom arc.
You can be doing amazing in lane but you also need to remember that there are 4 other clowns in your game that could easily toss you a loss. SoloQ climb relies on you playing a ton and having a duo, better if your duo is a full rank below you to abuse the matchmaking balancing. (tons of people do this).
Does the headshot trick only work with titanic? Cause I think if ypu could do it with ravenous hydra the stat profile would work quite well, at least in terms ove giving you some life steal early and more damage. What do you think?
I think tiamat procced, so any hydra would have worked. Sadly they patched it. It also bugged caits HS passive to where net and trap would remove HS buff and attacking plants or scrying blooms consumed HS. Fear not, that's been fixed. But I still miss machine gun headshots with AA cancel. :(
Right now crit in the bot lane is better unless the enemy team has no tanks or bruisers. Lethality Caitlyn is a more viable midlane where she can roam and try to pick off low health players with lethality ults.
i was testing it and i think lethality is stronger :/ also winrate on lethality cait is above 56% duno why noone plays it this crit cait seems too low. build in this video has 48,5% winrate over 11,700 matches and lethality 56,7 over 2300 matches. and even 60% winrate in diamond+
@@adambelos2157 It's mainly because lethality Caitlyn is more of a situational counter pick option that can be hard countered if blindly picked all the time. High elo Caitlyn players know this so they only play the build when it makes sense to do so.
Watch the build in action here:

This was really helpful, thank you!

And besides they already remove stormrazor so titanic is pretty useless cause RFC can’t proc titanic anymore
Hi I've got a question. If Titanic Hydra is not good on Cait. Can we swap it with Ravenous or Profane Hydra instead?
no. makes no sense :)
@@neverbeen5691 why not ?

So crit cait better than lethality?
Right now crit in the bot lane is better unless the enemy team has no tanks or bruisers. Lethality Caitlyn is a more viable midlane where she can roam and try to pick off low health players with lethality ults.

but i think its because lethality is cheaper and provide almost same value + it boosts her ultimate to insane dmgs

Lethality is easier hehe
