Hey Saber, I'm a long time fan of the channel, I've been following long before your league break a while ago, I started watching your content when I started playing a lot of league a couple years ago. I've always looked up to you as an insane caitlyn player and I've always loved your ultra mechanical playstyle, which I've adopted. Watching you, and many other challenger players, and countless educational vidoes, has gotten me from silver 5 years ago to the brink of masters today (I'm one game away). I have played caitlyn for more than 3 years now, I've fallen in love with the champ, and the role, and even through the countless games going 0/10, the anger of getting oneshot, the sadness of being demoted from Emerald, and the struggle to carry against all odds, I've finally made peace with the game and I'm enjoying my time on the Rift and on caitlyn. I heard on your recent videos that Caitlyn does not fare well currently. I thought about it and decided to play her anyways, and have fun. I've had very consistent results for the moment in emerald+ flex games, so I believe the buffs really help her out. Thank you for your content, and thank you for making me love one champion so much that I can make her work even though she's not meant to work. Much love, and much support
I reached diamond today for the first time in my over 3 years of playing league, and you are the main reason I kept playing adc throughout the journey. Thank you for the amazing educational content and teaching me to always keep a good mental and focus on my own mistakes rather than my teammates’!
@@Seiselperro I play jinx/cait, though right now mostly jinx because of how strong she is. Despite that, the game where I promoted to diamond I played caitlyn against an enemy jinx and completely stomped the lane which I am very happy about
@@Aryzuocrit damage was reduced to 175% for a long time… So 10% Crit.D. buff on IE will revert IE ADC to the old day. Just don’t t have to calculate anything
0:18 it's actually from 215% to 225% IE crit damage modifier cuz back in S11 item rework, crit damage was nerfed; base crit damage went from 200% to 175% & IE crit damage modifier went from 225% to 210% A season or 2 later, IE crit damage modifier got buffed to 215% from 210%, & then with this patch, those nerfs from S11 FINALLY got FULLY reverted, bringing IE crit damage modifier BACK to 225% The last time IE crit damage modifier was 250% was WAY BACK in early season 8 before patch 8.11 hit
Nothing quite like proccing shiv then Q'ing the wave to pretty much full clear it. This build kinda feels like I'm 100% just trying to scale, like a worse Smolder, but it's fun as long as your team doesn't lose it before you scale.
Hey saber! How would you cook up hubris into full crit on Cait? My idea is hubris, collector, LW, but I'd how to top it off without trolling or making the skill floor of the build so high it's not worth it for the majority.
Still think IE 5th or 6th is still better than rushing. It doesn't do enough to warrant losing the range from RF, or other items that give way more value than just more damage earlier in the game
That is his standard build, with LDR before IE. He tried 100% Critical Strike to test if it was every viable as an alternative to his normal build. However, the game explains that it is DEFINITELY not the case, as he was hurting for damage all game.
You can't bully her as much as you would normally do coz she has 600 auto range which makes it harder for Caitlyn to auto-space her with her 650 range (when compared to other ADCs). She can also W to catch up to you and go in with her Q for a kill if you don't have your E up.
I prefer flat AD so you can clear waves with Q without having shiv. Right now anything other than Shiv you slowly have to AA 5% hp minions after qing them
@@willnash7907 AS is too volatile on caitlyn too. Caitlyn has been nerfed for the longest time, she has the worst base AS in the game (don't be fooled by the stat she has a free +15% AS bonus starting level 1). Back then they nerfed her AS scaling because apparently she was too unfair with runaan's huricane. HP is overall useless on adc since everything is designed to oneshot the adc and 50 hp won't change it.

What adc are you playing ?

17:15 The not giving a F mentality to get farm is so needed for modern adc.
yea if i die i die fuck it
I.E. buff really only accounts for about +4% damage. LDR buff is nice against tanks but they really did not give the crit build enough juice.
At least it gets Crit builds out of the gutter plus lethality nerfs makes it more attractive
+%4 seems little but that adds up lol
4% more dmg is a lot when you do a lot of aa
@mandoole 240% > 250% calculates out to about +4.1% increased actual crit damage

yes exactly a worse smolder who can do a little more before "225" spike
13:51 hitting the ward there you hate to see it

ADC def needs some more buffs before Cait can buy Crit items again.
What about ghostblade + collector + ie?

hey guys, why is ashe an counterpick to cait?
You can't bully her as much as you would normally do coz she has 600 auto range which makes it harder for Caitlyn to auto-space her with her 650 range (when compared to other ADCs). She can also W to catch up to you and go in with her Q for a kill if you don't have your E up.
Her W also perma denies your first strike in lane if you go lethality, and your disengage loses to her all-in in midgame, it's just annoying tbh
Statikk/IE start, the old school combo for all the ADCs wayyyyy back then!
*eat lunch... at 1am*
felt that
Eyyy I'm early. Keep up the good work!
Well ye, Mantra q is not coming lategame, a mantra e is however though.
Mantra E low-key kinda bad still tho
@@pettermiranda4651 same value as lulu shield, but gives ms and is aoe.
@@Goondius lulu is also kinda not good
Maaan... Cait needs a buff. HP base and HP, AS scaling imo. Just like 10 more and another 5 per level, I think for health, and +0.15% bAS per level.
I prefer flat AD so you can clear waves with Q without having shiv. Right now anything other than Shiv you slowly have to AA 5% hp minions after qing them
Give her the ad back from before the nerf like two worlds ago
@@cloudwalker9572 Flat AD is really volatile on Cait. They'll nerf it out eventually. These QoL changes stick.
