How to Use Caitlyn Counter Data
Every figure on this page, covering which champions counter Caitlyn and which ones she counters, comes from live ranked ADC matchup data. Right now Xerath, Seraphine, and Karthus give Caitlyn her weakest results in the current data set. Xerath is the hardest of the three: Caitlyn takes only 42.6% of the 994 games logged against him. Going the other way, Caitlyn does well against Yunara, Mel, and Corki, so those are the safer matchups to draw.
Each card lists Caitlyn’s win rate along with the number of games it’s based on. A matchup supported by tens of thousands of games deserves more trust than one resting on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are derived from the win rate itself, with anything under 48% marked Hard and anything over 52% marked Easy. They’re a convenience for scanning, not a separate statistic. The underlying data covers ranked games at Emerald and above across every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the rankings shift as the meta does. For the best items and runes, open the current Caitlyn build. For abilities and everything else, the Caitlyn champion page has the full breakdown.
