Caitlyn Counter Guide: Top Champions & Strategies to Beat Her
Laning Against Caitlyn
Listen for audio cues when Caitlyn places her traps (W). If unseen, they're likely behind your tower. When pushed under tower, maintain a safe distance to avoid trap damage.
Maintain maximum range from Caitlyn, especially when her empowered auto-attack is ready. Wait for her to use this ability before advancing.
Counter Caitlyn's early tower pressure by prioritizing health and XP over CS. Request jungle or mid assistance when she overextends.
Strategy VS Caitlyn
Target Caitlyn when her Net (E) is on cooldown, as this is her primary escape tool. Consider Flash engages or bush ambushes if she plays defensively.
In teamfights, focus Caitlyn early to prevent sustained damage output. Use flanking maneuvers if she's well-protected by her team.
Prevent snowballing by repeatedly ganking Caitlyn early game. Coordinate with allies to shut her down before she scales.
