How We Analyze Our Counter Caitlyn Data

We analyze millions of League of Legends games each week, pulled directly from Riot Games, to determine the best and worst Caitlyn counters. At this moment, our detailed counter Caitlyn data is based on 367,941 recent games and will show you which champions have the highest and lowest win rates against her.

Caitlyn Counters Summary

In the selected bottom lane, Caitlyn is strongest against Zeri and Kai'Sa, with win rates of 53.9% and 52.9%, respectively. She make a great counter pick to either of these champions. Conversely, she is a poor matchup in bottom lane when fighting Seraphine and Miss Fortune. Be careful about playing Caitlyn into either of these two matchups.

Caitlyn Counters Summary (Continued)

The greatest picks not in lane to counter Caitlyn include Nidalee, Karthus, and Gragas. These are all good at countering Caitlyn with win rates over 54%. Even if these Caitlyn counter picks are not used opposite your position, it's not smart to play her into one of these matchups. They will often beat Caitlyn.

Yet, if the opposing team picks either Lillia or Trundle, you should strongly consider taking her, as she easily wins against these champs with win rates over 53% against both ofthem.

How to Counter Caitlyn

Caitlyn's strength lies in her early game, with good range and early poking abilities. Try not to allow her to gain an early lead by pushing the minion wave and getting tower plates. Avoid falling behind as it's tough to catch up once she takes the lead.

She's known to be very vulnerable once her E is on cooldown. This serves as her main defensive tool, so seize the opportunity to attack when it's unavailable, especially if she uses it offensively and is too pushed up in the lane.

Caitlyn's effectiveness in the laning phase can be hampered if she can't use her W traps properly. Exploit this, particularly if you're playing a character with a dash or blink in their kit, allowing you to evade her traps.

Mid-game often sees Caitlyn fall off the pace, as she's heavily reliant on critical strike chance to deal damage. This is the time to attack Caitlyn, as other champions generally have more utility at this point, leaving her in a weaker position.

If Caitlyn starts gaining momentum, remember that she can't tank a lot of damage despite being strong. Kite backwards to increase your chances of survival, and stick together with your team to avoid being picked off.

Remember to take advantage of her weak survival skills in mid-game, despite her high damage output. This is your opportunity to counter-attack and gain ground.

Caitlyn may seem to be a great late-game champion, but she cannot use her Ultimate R effectively in a team fight. Her strength in the late game relies heavily on her kiting abilities, so take her down before she gets a chance to use them.
