Who Wins
- Pre-6: Caitlyn-Thresh wins due to superior range and poke potential, with Caitlyn's 650 range making it difficult for you to trade effectively.
- Post-6: You gain significant kill pressure with R if you can stack passive through Blitzcrank's Q engage or close-range skirmishes.
Synergy & Trading
- Wait for Blitzcrank's Q hook to land, then immediately dash in with E to stack passive and follow up with Q-W combo.
- Your goal is to quickly build passive stacks for R execution rather than extended trades where Caitlyn's range advantage dominates.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves aggressively when Blitzcrank has Q available to create hook angles and prevent Caitlyn from freely poking.
- Avoid slow-pushing as it gives Caitlyn too much time to harass you with Q and auto-attacks from safe range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never try to trade without Blitzcrank's engage tools available, as Caitlyn will simply kite you with her superior range and Thresh's disengage.
- Don't waste E defensively unless absolutely necessary, as it's crucial for following up on Blitzcrank's engages.
