Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to Caitlyn's superior range and early game damage output.
- Post-6 you gain kill potential with R execute damage, but still struggle against Caitlyn's range advantage and trap control in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Use rocket form to match Caitlyn's range when possible, switching to minigun for higher DPS when enemies engage close.
- Coordinate with Brand's stun by following up with W slow and rocket damage, maximizing your damage during his CC windows.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely and avoiding extended trades until you have items to match Caitlyn's damage.
- Push waves quickly with rockets when safe to create roam opportunities for Brand or to recall without losing CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to out-trade Caitlyn in extended fights without Brand's support, as her range and headshot damage will win.
- Avoid positioning where Rakan can easily W onto you, as his engage combined with Caitlyn's follow-up damage is lethal.
