Playing against Caitlyn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Caitlyn is the queen of early game thanks to her range (650) — she's weaker in mid game before her 3rd item.

Traps (W) are visible: don't walk over them, go around. They're often placed under turrets.

An ally can block her R (Ace in the Hole) by stepping in front — protect your wounded carry.

Engage in melee: Caitlyn is weak up close and her E has a long cooldown.
