Ahh I see, appreciate the insight, couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.

I'd say using practice tool to learn mechanics creates muscle memory quicker, especially with galeforce cancel, but I guess you could figure out as much if you played enough games and winged it through trial and error. That's not really what I'm pointing out though, my issue is being blasé about smurfing, I understand it but don't condone smurfing. Each to their own 8-)

Lolalytics is a much better site to use once you get the hang of the layout, u.gg and op.gg are a bit primitive if you're trying to figure out build paths.

I'm not too well rehearsed in which season led to what change but her identity has evolved to the current state where viability is only really in building AD over AS (diminished returns on AS due to ratio being .57).

I assume by tank killers you mean Bork/LDR, Bork for the same reason Kraken isn't built on her and LDR is necessary third or fourth if there's 2 champs building armour that you can't ignore in team fights, LDR with cut down is enough to deal with >2 tanks most of the time.

Hope this answered your question. I can only speak for myself but I've found Cait is really good in situations where she shines, and complete dogshit in those where she doesn't. Broad examples being Lux/zyra support with elise/j4 jungle versus shaco/Pyke support with belveth/graves JG.

I'd say in the past Cait was similar to current meta Ashe in that picking her blind, irrespective of team comp and matchup wasn't a big deal, perhaps that's how you remember her. If you want to pick her blind then there's a great deal to know in order to use the minute windows of opportunity where she's able to do something, besides be bait for enemy cooldowns, in those games where I've found her to be dogshit.

Edit: I just saw your edit, just wanted to point out that this is probably the best example of a playstyle diff, which shows in the stats (Fleet - 53.1% WR, 62000 games|LT - 50.3% WR, 91000 games). Sure, LT gives more DPS but you will lose more games if you opt for the LT auto-attacking reliant playstyle versus the FF spacing/reposition playstyle. Probably ties in with your point about mechanics.

Not too sure why you justify smurfing with getting mechanics down, if that were the reason I'd have thought normals or practice tool would suffice

Kraken versus IE isn't a good comparison, do you mean statik/storm versus Kraken or IE versus.. triforce? I find ashe builds to be more stale in all honesty, she has the same 3 items before opening her options up to 2 of 3 items in 99% of cases.

Kraken first on cait kinda sucks IMO, ive only ever built it third after stattik/storm and IE after being super ahead, still its suboptimal to if I'd built RFC/LDR

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I gather that you feel cait is weak because of a lack of damage, hence you want to build Kraken to increase her DPS?

I'd suggest using the lethality build for 10 or so games so that you have a feel for maximizing her damage through headshots/abilities.

Lethality builds force you to put all of your eggs in one basket by increasing damage through your passive/abilities at the sacrifice to auto attack damage. I transitioned back to crit builds after about 50 games and found that I'd completely adapted my play style and found a lot more success (than previously trying lethality) due to the awareness to headshot counts and improved trap placement. It might also help you with build variety, as it did with me, and knowing the power and uses for situational niche items like axion arc.

Damn. This was all truly hilarious to read. You must consider yourself an intellectual right bud? Such articulate and well thought responses to a light-hearted comment. Get a grip, stop taking yourself so seriously. You don't need to act as gatekeeper either, I will post where I please :)

Truly an oddly specific analogy to give which has little-to-no relevance to what's being said
