Who Wins
- Caitlyn wins pre-6 due to superior range and poke with Q, while your short range makes trading difficult against her 650 range autos.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R execute damage, but Caitlyn still controls the lane with superior range and zone control.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on last-hitting safely and only trade when Alistar lands W-Q combo on Caitlyn, allowing you to follow up with Q-auto-W for meaningful damage.
- Avoid extended trades since Caitlyn out-ranges you significantly and Milio's sustain will negate small poke attempts.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves quickly with Q to stack your passive and avoid getting frozen on by Caitlyn's superior range advantage.
- Look to recall on cannon waves after shoving to prevent Caitlyn from building large CS leads through zoning.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Caitlyn's poke in lane as your range disadvantage makes this a losing proposition.
- Avoid fighting in river or jungle skirmishes early game where your limited range and scaling nature put you at a severe disadvantage.
