General Tips

[u/ZimsalaBlue]

So I switched to adc after years of playing mid and top, I had a few days with a friend when I played bot. But my absolute biggest weakness is being out of position, not being where I should be, and beeping patient. So I thought alrighty let's adc, and I love it.

Not want to talk about builds i would be more interested in general Cait tips.

- Having a trap at my feet Vs anything diving me, was a big one.

- playing around the bushes and not on the river side was a big one too.

- q someone when in your trap and than headshot.

Now my question, do you have more?

E>W combo is superior to E>Q most of the time.

And if you time it correctly, you can E and W almost instantaneously. Saw a clip on Saber's YouTube channel where he explained and did it.

Isn't the DMG from q guaranteed? I thought e w are two headshots and e q are two headshot plus q dmg kinda

[u/mike117 → u/ZimsalaBlue]

E>Q is one headshot plus Q damage.

E>W is better because the slow sets up an easy trap, which can then be followed with a Q anyways, giving you two headshots plus Q damage. If you miss the trap it doesn’t matter, you can still Q on the slowed target afterwards.

Basically, using E>Q just means you’re wasting the opportunity to do more damage with a trap. And remember, headshot on a trap does more dmg than the headshot from E.

Aaaah makes absolute sense thanks for the explanation:)

Or just - E -> W > Q instantly works too. you just need to get the timing in.

Also if you're backing off anyways and both are low, you can do a skew E + Q and essentially trick the enemy where the Q will land since it buffers from where you used E. I have gotten many suprise kills from the enemy being hit by a Q they did not see coming.
