Learn how to Caitlyn counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Look to engage or call for ganks when Caitlyn uses her E (90 Caliber Net) — this is her only escape tool and has a long cooldown early game (16-14 seconds at ranks 1-2).
Lane Phase Skirmish
Listen for the distinct audio cue when Caitlyn places a trap. If you can't see where it was placed, check behind your tower where you commonly stand to farm.
Basic Lane Phase
Position yourself to intercept Caitlyn's ultimate (R) when she targets a low-health ally — the bullet hits the first champion in its path and can be body-blocked.
Team Fight Late Game
Position behind minions when Caitlyn uses her Q — it deals 60% reduced damage to targets after the first hit, significantly lowering her poke damage.
Basic Lane Phase
Stay away from allies who have triggered Caitlyn's traps — she can use her Headshot on trapped targets from 1300 range, which is much farther than her normal attack range.
Lane Phase Team Fight
When Caitlyn has her empowered Headshot ready (indicated by a glowing rifle), stay at maximum range to avoid her enhanced auto-attack — wait for her to use it on a minion before advancing.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When Caitlyn starts channeling her ultimate, she becomes immobile and revealed for 1 second — this is a perfect opportunity to engage on her if within range.
Skirmish Team Fight
Never recall in vision when at low health against Caitlyn — her ultimate has super long range (3500 units) and can easily secure kills on low-health targets trying to back.
Basic Lane Phase Late Game
Pay attention to Caitlyn's trap placement patterns — she typically places them in choke points, near tower, or in brushes. Memorizing these spots helps you avoid them.
Lane Phase Late Game
Before contesting objectives like Dragon or Baron, clear Caitlyn's trap network in the area — her zone control is significantly weaker without pre-placed traps.
