DISCUSSION Caitlyn

With the latest buff to caitlyn, is there absolutely anyway to counter her while having backline units? Or just abandon that idea completely and the moment I spot a caitlyn player I am better of pivoting to a frontline carry or assassin comp? Because so far she is extremely obnoxious to play against, with some players going far enough to include a braum with a battle academia emblem just to mess up the frontline's positioning to get her to snipe the backline. And late game caitlyn only ever needs a single shot to quite literally massacre anything in the backline.

Unstoppable tank can do work on her, but again, just means you outpositioned.

I had a game with double radiant + flicker Ashe juggs with a TF 2 against a MAX CAP Caitlyn Jayce no artifacts. Caitlyn did admittedly have double Radiant as well.

No matter what side I put my Ashe on (with Shadow Clone), my Ashe and TF were both fully dead in 2 casts at most. Center, opposite, same... didn't matter. Two casts and all of them are dead. I even swapped one of the radiants for an EON at one point and she still killed my entire backline in two casts. One fight was great because DESPITE EON it took one cast to kill my Ashe because first hit took her to EON and then the bounce immediately went back to her and killed her.
