Caitlyn Build Guide
Caitlyn remains the top pick in bot lane right now, with a 15.82% pick rate, the highest in this batch, and a 49.3% winrate on patch 16.13.1 according to current ranked numbers. Her keystone, Lethal Tempo, scales attack speed up, which suits her style of chipping opponents down from far away.
Level her Q first, then W, then E, and max out Piltover Peacemaker and Yordle Traps early in the process. Hexoptics C44, Infinity Edge, and Rapid Firecannon make up her core build and push her range lead even further. Runes, the complete item sequence, and her hardest matchups are all broken down in the guide below.
