Challenger | Patch 14.21 | How to play Caitlyn like a Pro - Season 14 Guide

Thanks to multiple buffs to her kit and to items like Infinity Edge, Caitlyn deals insane amounts of damage with her headshots and ultimate ability.

In this guide you'll learn all about her so you can kill your opponents with a single basic attack.

• During almost all your animations and cast times you are actually able to put down traps. You can do it as you're dashing with your E for example.
• Similarly you can cast your Q while travelling with your Net. Simply press E and Q instantly after; the Q will travel from the direction in which the dash started.
• Because of these E interactions it's important to practice these multicasts since you can use the E slow to set up your own W traps or simply have better self peel by doing 2 animations at once to better zone opponents away from you.
• You start out with 3 W charges and only gain more as you put multiple points into the spell so you have to be careful of when are you actually using traps. Since you really want that extra headshot damage be aware of when it's better to use it for zoning opposed to guaranteed damage. It's not a bad habit to keep 1 charge available.
• The easiest way to guarantee your trap damage is to use it on your ally's CC but even this might be harder than you think. Your W needs 1 second to arm so pay attention to your positioning and memorize how certain abilities (Like Thresh's hook) will move champions so you don't waste your traps.
• Because you get your passive headshots twice as fast when attacking inside a bush try to do this when fighting in lane or during jungle teamfights.
• Using your ult for poke can be very good sometimes. This can make tower dives easier early game for example. Later into the game if you can hit a squishy carry who isn't near anyone who can block it for him it can be a good idea to chunk them down before a teamfight so they have to try and enter with half their HP.
• Your main gameplan during laning phase is to constantly push into your enemies turret, get platings and put traps between the tower and the wall or under the tower where the camera can't see it to make it very hard for the enemy to last hit under tower. If done properly jungle ganks aren't too scary because the enemy botlane would be too low HP to even fight.
