Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose 2v2s due to Caitlyn's superior range and Soraka's sustain negating your poke.
- Post-6 the matchup remains unfavorable as Caitlyn's R gives her kill pressure while Soraka's R counters your team's burst potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Trade with Q through minions to hit both enemies while healing yourself, then follow up with auto-W-auto when they're slowed.
- Always position to use minions as Q conduits rather than walking forward for direct trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves early to deny Caitlyn's freeze potential, but avoid overextending past river without vision.
- Focus on building soul stacks through Q poke rather than trying to match Caitlyn's CS perfectly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up to auto-attack without your W available as escape, since Caitlyn can trap you during your long auto animation.
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in range for poke - the heal and soul generation from hitting champions is more valuable.
