How to counter Caitlyn
Caitlyn is the longest-range ADC: she dominates the laning phase with her poke, her traps and her net to escape. But she falls off late against hypercarries, so she struggles against champions that survive her harass to scale past her, or supports that out-poke her in the 2v2.
- Brand — He out-pokes the 2v2 with his burst, wearing Caitlyn and her support down before her range matters.
- Ziggs — He out-pokes and out-clears her, controlling lane from a safe distance.
- Seraphine — She tanks her poke with her shields and healing, out-lasting Caitlyn's wear-down in lane.
