Please ask your Caitlyn related questions in this Caitlyn-based new player thread, no matter how simple they are. Everyone here wants to help you out and answer those questions if they can!

Here's a question. What's the E-Q combo do o.O ?

Like. Is it just to get closer and then shoot her Q? Or does something sorta cool happen?

If you shoot her net at someone and Q before she fires the net, she fires both the net and the Q while flying backwards, without showing any casting animation for firing the Q.

The knockback on her E can send her through walls. It's quite a useful escape trick, if you know where to use it.

cait is my best champ....here how I play with her:

buy potion for starters....3 health and 3 mana.....
work ur way farming till u can get bf sword for damage.

then buy boots....and for cait u need attack speed...all adc need it i guess....
usually i buy bf sword and buy vampire scepter.....made it into bt later....
buy boots after u hv bf sword (usually if u hv bf sword at this moment u can pawn enemy and will hv lot of gold),u can have boots and vampire scepter in same time and still hv some money to buy potion.
made ur way to buy zeal...make BT at this time....then work ur way to buy LW....or buy thornmail if needed or other armour if needed (usually if there's tank in ur lane or u need to kill fast).make ur way to buy PD....and last item is IE (if time still allow)
u will hv complete build of cait....and well u can pawn enemy fast if u can play it well...

for runes....attack speed....armour....magic resist (important)

cait best combo is Q - E.....don't underestimate trap......it can kill....my combi with cait is put W when enemy close (if they got trap) use Q-E hit him several times and then ur ulti R.....will kill it if they run....

It was about the E skill. A summoner told me to escape through walls and trees by shotting back E, but this doesn't work always, and I get cornered + killed . I want to know the spots where I can go through. I'll be happy if you tell me at least 2 spots.

And the skins trouble me. I'm still undecided to buy RP for the skins on her, because when there was a big skin sale on december, I thought desert garen was kind of handsome , and he is just yellow. I wish some low cost skin of her come to sale to try out once more, but I don't know when will it come, since there are a lot of champions my hopes are fading.

It is similar with using Flash to go through walls. You'll learn these spots yourself with time and experience.

I'm Lv29 and I STILL mis-Flash and don't make it through a wall sometimes. Or with Vi I'll use my Q to try to go through a wall and it just won't work.

Best thing to do is keep playing and trying to use it to get through different walls in different areas. This may sound rude but I don't mean it that way. You'll die ALL OVER the map and a great chunk of those deaths will be you running from someone. You'll get plenty of experience with testing out different walls ;]

Okay, I got a map of summoner's rift and put white circles around every spot that I've personally jumped over as Caitlyn. Somehow, I've never jumped over the Baron pit wall, so sorry for not being able to confirm that. Also, some of these walls have extremely specific points where you can jump over them. An example is the large stone walls along each team's base. Some parts of the wall are thinner, even though the wall looks equally large all the way across. To find all the jump points you'd have to walk across the wall trying to hop across after each tiny step. I've circled the points that I've jumped over to the best of my memory. I've probably missed some more.

The red arrows indicate walls that can be dashed/blinked over by *someone*. The larger jumps can be pulled off by champions like Kassadin, whose ultimate has a longer range than flash.

Caitlyn is my preferred ADC (400+ wins here for reference). My biggest tips would be to get REALLY familiar with your auto attack range. It's farther than almost anyone's, but not by a huge margin! Learning to skirt that small margin of added range you have and take free shots at your enemy during laning phase can really change the game, either by shutting them down on their last hits because they are too busy being worried about your pokes, or just from setting up an easy kill later if they decide to be ballsy and stick around through repeated shots.

Caitlyn is a fantastic offense taking champion. Given, the right combo of opponents will take away a lot of her advantages, but if you're enemy seems a bit worried about you, play that fear! Trap up your lane. Put them just to the sides of where minions tend to move and gather so that moving around in lane means either dealing with minion collision, or risking your traps. Be a bully. She is good at it. And don't forget you can use her net as a mini flash for offense! I don't know how many kills I've picked up because I netted TOWARDS my opponent and popped them with one last bullet.

oh, and another big tip. Be careful about your piltover shot. You really don't want to push your lane with it too much by blasting away their minions, and it does reduced damage for every enemy it hits along the way. Don't shoot through minion waves to hit the enemy. It's a waste of mana and pushes lane. Instead, wait for there to be only 1 or 2 minions left in the wave, with low health, and then pop the enemy with it. Piltover HURTS when it doesn't hit many things first. TBH,I try to snipe people with it so I don't hit ANY minions. It leaves them really really hurting.
