LORE OF CAITLYN


Born into a wealthy and influential merchant clan, Caitlyn Kiramman swiftly learned the social graces of life in Piltover, but preferred to spend her time in the wilder lands outside it. Equally adept at mingling with the moneyed elite of the City of Progress or stalking a deer through the mud of the forest, she could confidently track a bird on the wing over the merchant districts, or put a shot through the eye of a hare at a hundred paces with her father’s repeater musket.

Caitlyn’s greatest assets, however, were her intelligence and willingness to learn from her parents, who reinforced her understanding of right and wrong, even within a life of comfort and privilege. Her mother was one of the highest comptrollers in Clan Kiramman, and would always warn Caitlyn of Piltover’s seductions, and its gilded promises that could harden the kindest heart. At first, Caitlyn paid little heed—to her, Piltover was a place of beauty and order that she cherished after each trip into the wild.

All that was to change one Progress Day, some years later.

Caitlyn returned to find her home ransacked and empty. The family retainers were all dead, and there was no trace of her parents. Caitlyn secured the house, and immediately set out to find them.

Tracking within the confines of a city was very different from hunting in the wild but, one by one, Caitlyn located the thugs who had invaded her family home. The trail eventually led her to a hidden safehouse, where her mother and father were being tortured for information. She rescued them under cover of darkness, and alerted the Piltover Wardens… though not one of the kidnappers they arrested knew the identity of the individual who had hired them—only a proxy with the initial C.

Caitlyn and her parents began to rebuild their lives… but something fundamental had changed. Her mother in particular could no longer face the politics and duplicity of clan life, and gave up her prestigious role, leaving something of a vacuum in the Kiramman leadership. And, though she loved her parents dearly, Caitlyn had no desire to take her mother’s place, nor to learn her father’s trade as an artificer.

Instead, her focus turned toward breaking through the web of intrigue surrounding the mysterious "C". Utilizing her hunting skills, she established herself as a private investigator, and quickly made a name for herself as someone who could find anything or anyone. In recognition of her self-made success, Caitlyn’s parents crafted her a hextech rifle of exquisite artifice, with greater accuracy than any musket. The weapon could take a variety of specialized shells, and be easily modified in the field.

After a particularly traumatic case involving a missing hextech device and a series of child abductions, Caitlyn was summoned by the Wardens.

She had been recommended by one of their number who had also developed something of an affinity for stranger cases—and their battle with a host of rogue chimerics in the employ of a lunatic chem-researcher driven mad by his own concoctions led to her being offered a formal position as a sheriff. At first, Caitlyn refused, but eventually came to realize that the Wardens’ resources could potentially get her closer to discovering the true identity of “C".

Caitlyn has since become a highly respected officer within the ranks of the Wardens, always striving to make the City of Progress a better and safer place. She recently partnered with a new recruit from Zaun, the brash and reckless Vi. How such an unlikely pairing came about—and been proven so effective—is the subject of wild rumor and tavern speculation among their fellow Wardens, as well as those they haul away to jail.

What Caitlyn doesn't know, however, is that "C" is also keeping tabs on her... especially as her investigations bring her ever closer to the truth.

RUNES OF CAITLYN




TIPS ON HOW TO PLAY WITH CAITLYN


1. Master Your Auto-Attack Range: Caitlyn has one of the longest auto-attack ranges among ADC champions in the game. Use this range advantage to safely harass enemies in lane while minimizing retaliation. Learn to position yourself effectively to maximize your auto-attack range and punish opponents whenever they step out of position.

2. Utilize Traps for Zoning and Control: Caitlyn's W ability, Yordle Snap Trap, provides zoning and control potential in lane and teamfights. Use traps to control key areas, such as bushes or choke points, to deny vision and discourage enemy engages. Additionally, place traps strategically during skirmishes to root and trap enemies, enabling your team to secure kills or disengage safely.

3. Manage Your Headshot Passive: Caitlyn's passive, Headshot, enhances her next basic attack after she has built up enough stacks. Be mindful of when your Headshot is ready and look for opportunities to use it to poke enemies or secure last hits on minions. Coordinate with your support to trade aggressively when your Headshot is primed, maximizing your damage potential in lane.

4. Poke with Piltover Peacemaker (Q): Caitlyn's Q ability, Piltover Peacemaker, is a powerful poking tool that deals damage in a line. Use Q to harass enemies from a safe distance, especially when they are trying to last-hit minions or are positioned behind their own minions. Aim to hit multiple targets with Q to maximize its effectiveness and pressure enemies in lane.

5. Positioning in Teamfights: Positioning is crucial for Caitlyn in teamfights, as she relies on her long-range auto-attacks to deal damage safely. Stay at the backline of your team and prioritize hitting the closest enemy targets while staying out of range of enemy threats. Be mindful of enemy crowd control abilities and assassins looking to dive onto you, and position yourself accordingly to avoid getting caught out.

TIPS FOR COUNTERING GWEN


1. Close the Gap: Caitlyn's strength lies in her ability to poke from a distance with her long-range basic attacks and abilities. Champions with gap-closers or strong engage tools can quickly close the gap on Caitlyn, negating her advantage and putting her in a vulnerable position. Look for opportunities to engage on Caitlyn with champions like Leona, Nautilus, or Hecarim to punish her positioning and secure kills.

2. Deny Bush Control: Caitlyn's traps, Yordle Snap Traps, provide vision and zoning control in lane. Deny Caitlyn's ability to control bushes by sweeping them with Oracle Lens or placing control wards. This limits her vision and reduces her ability to set up traps for zoning or engages, making it easier to catch her off guard.

3. Avoid Predictable Movement: Caitlyn's Q ability, Piltover Peacemaker, deals damage in a straight line, making it easier to land if you move predictably. Mix up your movement patterns and avoid walking in straight lines to make it harder for Caitlyn to hit you with her Q. This reduces the effectiveness of her poke and forces her to rely more on her basic attacks for damage.

4. Coordinate Jungle Ganks: Caitlyn is relatively vulnerable to ganks, especially in the early levels when her mobility is limited. Coordinate with your jungler to apply pressure to Caitlyn in lane and punish her for overextending. Look for opportunities to engage on Caitlyn when her escape tools, such as her E ability (90 Caliber Net), are on cooldown, making her an easy target for ganks.

5. Build Defensive Items: Building defensive items like Ninja Tabi or Seeker's Armguard can mitigate Caitlyn's damage output and make it harder for her to snowball in lane. These items provide armor, reducing the effectiveness of Caitlyn's basic attacks and abilities. Consider adapting your itemization based on Caitlyn's build and playstyle to increase your survivability in lane.
